Product Description
Product Description
The Doc' is one of the most colourful characters in football. Always outspoken and honest, headlines have followed him throughout his career. He achieved success on the pitch with Preston and Scotland but it is as a manager that he secured his place in football history. The remark that he has had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus cannot be disputed: fourteen teams in four different countries. He resigned from Chelsea; he was sacked by Manchester United within two weeks of winning the 1977 FA Cup and at Derby he became embroiled in a bitter legal dispute. Now, for the first time, the Doc tells all about his life in football and those he has shared it with - Shankly, Busby, Clough, Ramsey, Stein. This is a story like no other, from one of the biggest personalities of the game.
