Archie Macpherson's compelling biography reappraises the life and career of Jock Stein, one of the greatest football managers of all time. Stein hugely influenced the history of football between his debut as a professional player in Lanarkshire in 1942 and his death at the side of the pitch in 1985. Stein 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 the ice-age of defensive football. In that time he generated unprecedented adulation, created bitter enemies, and inspired myths. This fourth edition brings Macpherson's much-lauded biography back into print with a new introduction.
