Product Description
Synopsis
A truly definitive biography of one of the most influential managers in the history of British football and the first British manager, in 1967, to win the European Cup. By the time of his death at the side of a pitch in 1985 he had become a legend. He redesigned the landscape of the Scottish game as the great innovator, and successfully exported his values outside the country when European football was in the grip of an ice-age of defensive negativity. This compelling biography reappraises Stein's career and looks closely at the personality of the man whose shrewdness and cunning stamped him with greatness. The author worked his entire professional life as a contemporary of Stein and travelled the world with him. He was present at nearly all of the great triumphs associated with the Celtic and Scotland manager.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immortal now., 21 Oct 2006
This wasn't the sycophantic elergy to Jock Stein that I feared it may have been but was a really well balanced account of the football career of one of the most influential managers the game has ever seen.
The obvious points are all there - Lisbon In '67, San Siro in '70, the complete overhaul of Celtic but there's also much more.
You don't need to be a Celtic fan to enjoy this - just a football fan.
