"Highly entertaining' **** - Roddy Forsyth, FourFourTwo" "These are words you can hear as you read.. full of great yarns, bittersweet memories and fascinating football stories ... an excellent read for students not only of the beautiful game, but of Scottish culture, urban conflict and macaroon bars' - Financial Times" "Eye-witness accounts laced with acid Glaswegian wit' - Books of the Year, The Independent" "Full marks ... some of the observations are hilarious, some sad, some plain worrying, but all are delivered with the passion of the true fan' - Irish Post" "A book that has become something of a classic in the social history of football" Daily Telegraph
Stephen Walsh was brought up in Glasgow but was born in Edinburgh; consequently, he regards both halves of the Old Firm from a perspective of lofty neutrality. He was educated at Oxford, has a day job as a housemaster in a boarding school and is married with five children.
