Don't Give Up the Day Job by Des Mckeown
Most footballers ambitions far outstrip their abilities and they are eventually forced to adapt to the real world. This is an account of one season in the life of part-time players seen through the eyes of Des McKeown, husband, father, salesman and left-back.
Des McKeown is a Sales Director for a stationery company and currently plays for Queen of the South. He began his footballing career in 1988 when he signed for Celtic - only to wreck his chances of making it big by insisting on finishing his Business Degree. He later played for Partick Thistle before transferring to Queen of the South. He lives in Cumbernauld with his wife and two children. Bill Leckie is the author of Penthouse and Pavement: How to Survive in Football Without Sucking Up to the Old Firm (also published by Mainstream) and a sports journalist for the Scottish Sun.
