Book Synopsis Mr Struth: The Boss by : David Mason
Download or read book Mr Struth: The Boss written by David Mason and published by Headline. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Struth is the most celebrated Manager in the history of Rangers Football Club. In his 34 year tenure, he led the club to 30 major trophies and nurtured many of the club's greatest players. To them, he was simply 'Mr. Struth' - a father figure who guided them with the principle that, '... to be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football.' If these words set the ideals for his players to attain, his own personal life was clouded by moments of indiscretion which were to influence the course of his life and career. Drawing on family accounts and Rangers archives, the book explores his early life in Edinburgh and Fife, as well as his celebrated years in Glasgow. It recounts his career in professional athletics and in football with Heart of Midlothian, Clyde and ultimately, Rangers. It reflects on the legacy of the Struth era and his influences that remain at Ibrox today.
Download or read book Struth written by David Leggat and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Struth is the most iconic and successful manager in the history of Scottish football. He was manager of Rangers for 34 years, winning 18 titles, 10 Scottish Cups and 2 League Cups. Yet outside of Ibrox, where the Main Stand is named for him, Struth is largely ignored. Indeed, despite the fact Bill Struth was the man who built Rangers into the world's most successful football club, this is the first book to tell the story of his life. Veteran sports journalist David Leggat, who previously wrote Great Scot: The James Scotland Symon Story, now turns his attention to the glory of Struth in a new biography, Struth. The story of how Bill Struth, a professional runner who never played football, became Rangers trainer in 1914 and manager in 1920, is one of romance and glory and features some of Scottish football's most legendary stars, including Davie Meiklejohn, Bob McPhail, Willie Waddell, George Young and the Wee Blue Devil himself, Alan Morton. And there are fascinating insights into Struth's private life too, especially how he coped with the suicide of his wife. Struth will be a milestone in the history of not just Rangers, but Scottish football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking debut novel that combines the investigatory pleasures of a legal drama with a provocative and literary exploration of the limits of empathy 'I loved this highly original and compelling story' Cathy Rentzenbrink You are about to enter a novel formed of documents and evidence. Here is the blog of a nurse on a dialysis ward attempting to live in the aftermath of bringing a rape trial to court in which the defendant was exonerated. Here are the transcripts of the police interviews with her, and the accused, the emails and texts between them submitted for trial; his journal, his conversations on 4chan, his drama scripts, him, him, him. How will the nurse, Corina, ever get him out of her head? This is a highly original debut novel that will win plaudits for its inventiveness at the same time as it compels the reader with the pleasures of suspense and family drama. Provocative, blackly funny and moving, it announces a new voice unlike any other.
Download or read book The Management written by Michael Grant and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'an outstanding piece of work . . . utterly compelling' - Scotland on Sunday Why has Scotland produced so many of the best football managers in the world? Based on exclusive interviews with the men themselves, their players or close friends and family, Michael Grant and Rob Robertson delve into the very heart of Scottish life, society and football to reveal the huge contribution that managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Jock Stein, Jim McLean, Kenny Dalglish, Walter Smith and a host of others have made to the world game. This original, brilliantly-realised and critically acclaimed study profiles the character and methods of each of the great Scottish managers, analysing their strengths and weaknesses, and examines their impact on both club and international football. It is a deeply-researched and compelling story which presents new material on many of the greats, particularly Busby and Stein, and highlights the enormous Old Firm contributions of, among others, Willie Maley, Bill Struth and Graeme Souness.
Download or read book Tortured written by Jeff Holmes and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tortured: The Sam English Story is the fascinating yet tragic tale of a footballer destined to become one of the greatest goalscorers in Scottish football history, but who by his own admission became 'an embarrassing, grizzly peep show'. English was a veritable goal machine at Yoker Athletic in the late 1920s, netting nearly 300 in three seasons, and was soon being chased by a posse of big-name clubs. Legendary Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman offered him a blank cheque, but 22-year-old English chose Rangers. He hit 44 league goals in his debut season - still a record today - but tragedy struck early in the campaign. In the first Old Firm match of the season, Celtic keeper John Thomson lost his life after bravely diving at the feet of the entirely blameless English. In an instant, English became one half of a tragic accident and his life changed forever. He moved to Liverpool, but was haunted by the fatality and its accompanying demons. He was cast as a villain and made a pariah. His life would be defined by that one tragic incident.
Download or read book Eye of the Tiger written by Ian Stewart and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eye of the Tiger is the story of one of the most legendary figures in Glasgow Rangers' rich history, a man who epitomised what it meant to be a Ranger. Jock Shaw was a no-nonsense full-back whose fierce, uncompromising tackling earned him the nickname 'Tiger' from club supporters. He joined the Gers from Airdrie in 1938 for &£2,000 and was a key figure in the Ibrox defence in the immediate post-war years. That defence was dubbed the 'Iron Curtain' because it seemed as unyielding as the barrier that divided Europe at the time. The book charts Jock's extraordinary journey from the coal pit at Bedlay (Annathill) to becoming Rangers' first treble-winning captain. His signing for Rangers started a remarkable association with the club, which lasted over 40 years and saw him serve as team captain, third-team coach and groundsman. He also captained Scotland and shared the distinction of beating England with his brother David. Ian Stewart worked with Tiger Shaw's family to bring you the inside track on his life and career.
Book Synopsis Voices Of The Old Firm by : Stephen Walsh
Download or read book Voices Of The Old Firm written by Stephen Walsh and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition of Voices of the Old Firm tells the story of Rangers and Celtic in the words of those who can say 'I was there'. By interviewing players, managers but above all supporters of the two great clubs, Stephen Walsh has built up a unique portrait of sixty years of football in the city. Full of evocative social and historical detail, the book surveys all the great moments since the war - the ups and downs, the triumphs and disasters. What was it like to be in Lisbon for Celtic's epic 1967 European Cup victory, or in Barcelona for Rangers' European triumph of 1972? The different 'voices' which describe these and many other key events include some of the greatest players ever to pull on a green or a blue jersey and they have vivid tales to tell of encounters on the field. But the book also hears the voices of those who have spent their time standing on the terraces or sitting in the stands cheering on their heroes. Ordinary supporters tell of their adventures at home and abroad while following their clubs with sometimes ridiculous levels of devotion. In their own words, they tell of great games of football, but they also describe the fabric of the fan's life - the buses, the songs, the drink, the clothes, the bigotry and the passionate emotion which marks Glasgow out from almost all other footballing cities. This classic oral history has been brought fully up to date with the addition of new material reflecting the way the teams have come to dominate the Scottish football scene in the last ten years. Highlights include Celtic's pilgrimage to Seville for the UEFA Cup final and Rangers' unforgettable championship win of 2005.

Book Synopsis Rangers In London 1960-1971 by : Jerry 'J' Silverman
Download or read book Rangers In London 1960-1971 written by Jerry 'J' Silverman and published by Jerry Silverman. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rangers In London is the story of the nine matches between 1960 and 1971 when Britain and the World’s most domestically successful football club with the greatest and most fervent support travelled south from Glasgow to the Capital city. Almost every game seems to have thrown up something amazing or special. From the first European Cup tie played in London to a match described by the legendary and equally reticent Spurs manager, Bill Nicholson as the greatest game on earth. Alex Ferguson’s Rangers debut at Arsenal, QPR’s Rodney Marsh assaulting two players on the pitch and a teenager whisked from work in Glasgow in the morning to play in goal against a team of internationals and a world cup winner in the evening at Tottenham. And we best not forget Rangers appearances at Chelsea for the man they called Chopper either and at Highbury for a gentleman who at his peak was quite possibly the best goalkeeper in Europe. And much more… Unashamedly nostalgic and so many great stories, histories and characters to recall, celebrate and write about. In a more modest way, we try to chart the development of football at Ibrox and in London, on and off the field at a time when football was beginning to become more sophisticated, commercial and international. There’s a bit of sociology too, as we look at the emergence of football hooliganism, skinheadism and wider societal cultures in and around football at that time. Does what go around, come around with a slightly different twist? I’ll let the reader decide. But I hope you’ll enjoy taking in these matches with me, and get the same pleasure as the devoted thousands and perhaps you were one, who ‘followed on’ to London with Rangers. Win, lose or draw.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glasgow: The Autobiography tells the story of the fabled, former Second City of the British Empire from its origins as a bucolic village on the rivers Kelvin and Clyde, through the tumult of the Industrial Revolution to the third millennium.

The result is a varied and vivid portrait of one of the world's great cities in all its grime and glory – a place which is at once infuriating, inspiring, raucous, humourful and never, ever dull.
