About the Book

As Rangers manager Walter Smith once put it, Scottish football supporters have always liked their footballing superstars to come complete with very human flaws. But what is it that makes the seriously flawed footballer so intriguing? From Hugh Gallacher, the Wembley Wizard who died of shame, to George Best, Hibernian's ageing lothario, to the Three Amigos – Celtic's trio of wayward overseas mercenaries – the great entertainers have always come with baggage. Never before have the individual stories of these mavericks of Scottish football's past been collated and told in one place.

About the Author :
Stephen McGowan was born in Glasgow, educated in Fife and went on to complete an honours degree in Public Administration in Aberdeen. Realising that a job managing houses or hospitals wasn't for him, he entered journalism with Dundee's DC Thomson & Co. From there his journalistic career took him to Dubai and Bangkok before he returned to Glasgow, where he is a sports writer for the Daily Mail.

Review :
'Racy but also insightful ... a thoroughly stimulating book,' - Graham Speirs, The Times 'Jim Baxter, George Best and half a score more of the game's finest are celebrated in style by McGowan in the year's most engaging sports book,' - The Scotsman
