What's It All About Ralphie by Gary Robertson
Ralph Milne was born in Dundee and lived out many a young footballer's dream. On leaving school he signed for Dundee United and gradually forced his way into a team full of great players. With electrifying pace and exceptional talent he quickly established himself as a fans' favourite, producing some dazzling performances at home and on the highest of European stages. He was part of the legendary team which defied all the odds to win the Scottish Premier Division in 1983. However, behind the scenes his volatile relationship with manager Jim McLean culminated in him leaving for Charlton. After unhappy spells there and at Bristol City he made a dream move to Alex Ferguson's Man United. Ralph struggled to produce his stunning performances of old and retired a few years later. Many believe he could and should have done so much more but a personal battle with alcohol probably decided otherwise. In the eyes of Dundee United fans he will always be a legend and was inducted into the club's Hall Of Fame earlier this year. This is his remarkable story.
Gary Robertson was born in Dundee in 1967 and has lived and worked in the city all of his life. A self-confessed fitness fanatic, his interest in writing began shortly after winning the hit BBC 2 reality TV series 'SAS Are You Tough Enough?' Much of his writing to date is a celebration of the culture he has grown up in with books such as Gangs of Dundee, Pure Dundee and What's It All About Ralphie? He has also written a very successful and hilarious play called The Berries and was recently chosen to be an ambassador for his hometown. He is married to Sue and they have two children, Cailean and Eilidh.
