From the Publisher:

Always outspoken and honest, headlines have followed him throughout his career. He achieved success on the pitch with Preston and Scotland but it is his 28-year career in management that has secured his place in football history.

The remark that he has had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus cannot be disputed: fourteen teams in four different countries. His teams always played attacking cavalier football - a style that mirrored the Doc's own - on and off the pitch.

Now, for the first time, the Doc tells all about his life in football and the Chelsea renaissance in the Swinging Sixties, ending the Manchester United careers of Best and Law and FA Cup defeats and victory. He also talks openly about his resignation from Chelsea, his sacking for falling in love, and becoming embroiled in a bitter court battle.

Rich in humour and laced with classic one-liners and fabulous anecdotes, the Doc's life in football will captivate fans of all clubs.
