Product Description
A follow-up to the first volume of quotations about Scotland's national sport. Compiled by sports journalist Kenny MacDonald, it delves once more into the sweat-stained and liniment-soaked dressing-rooms of the country, visiting after-match conferences and interview situations. It emerges with a batch of statements which seek to be profound and amusing, acerbic and perceptive, argumentative and plain bizarre. There are sections on Euro '96 and France '98, on celebrities as diverse as Alex Ferguson, Duncan Ferguson, and Scottish football's most famous fan, Hamilton Accies' legendary Fergie. Ally McCoist, Craig Brown, Paul Gascoigne, Jim Farry and Walter Smith also have the microscope turned on them, while other sections focus on all the things that make the game great, from goalkeepers to girls, alcohol to the Auld Enemy, religion to referees. There are observations on Scotland's game from personalities such as Johann Cruyff, Chris Waddle, Ferenc Puskas, Rod Stewart and Prince Albert of Monaco.
