Football, My Life by Lou Macari
Football has dominated Lou Macari's life in more ways than you could possibly mention. Taken on as an apprentice by Celtic in the wake of the 1967 European Cup triumph that saw them anointed the Lisbon Lions, Macari learnt his football the old-fashioned way alongside another future great, Kenny Dalglish. He quickly broke into the first team, winning Scottish league titles and Scottish Cups in both 1971 and 1972, but it was at Manchester United, following a shock transfer in January 1973, that the attacking midfielder's prowess turned him into a fans' favourite and a household name. Macari was the leading light in a free-flowing forward line as Tommy Docherty's side won promotion back into the First Division in 1975. Two years later, Lou scored the winning goal as United beat Liverpool to win the FA Cup - their one and only trophy in the Seventies - and he went on to score 97 goals in more than 400 appearances for the Red Devils. He also won 24 caps for Scotland, scoring five times, and represented his country in the infamous 1978 World Cup Finals in Argentina. After leaving United in 1984, Macari moved into management with Swindon Town, leading the Wiltshire club to back-to-back
Lou Macari was born in 1949 and grew up in Ayrshire. Following his retirement from football playing and management, he works as an expert analyst for Setanta Sports and MUTV, as well as numerous other media engagements.
