Galvinised by David Saffer

Galvinised is the tale of two footballing brothers with contrasting fortunes who played in a golden age of the game. It's a story of glamour and heartache. Tottenham Hotspur snapped up left-winger Tony Galvin from non-league Goole Town while he was studying Russian at Hull University. Tony won the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with Spurs alongside legendary stars such as Glenn Hoddle and Ossie Ardiles. He also won 29 Republic of Ireland caps and played at Euro 88. Tony ended his playing days at Sheffield Wednesday and Swindon Town. Conversely, elder brother Chris, an inside-forward, joined Leeds United as an apprentice but struggled to break into Don Revie's iconic team. After witnessing Leeds' glory days from the subs' bench, he played across the Football League pyramid at Hull City, Stockport County and York City before finding success in Hong Kong. The Galvin brothers have tales galore from the 1960s to 1980s, and share stories of players, travelling escapades, training ground bust-ups and unforgettable matches in this unique biography.

Chris and Tony Galvin have teamed up with David Saffer to tell their enthralling footballing story. David has penned 24 books including two Times top-10 bestsellers. He co-authored Alex Stepney's From Tooting Common to the Stretford End, Duncan McKenzie's The Last Fancy Dan and Allan Clarke's Sniffer. A life member of Leeds Cricket & Football Hospital Relays Association, David has written for many publications.
