From Word of Sport:
Bob Paisley stands above all other British managers as the most successful of all time, winning 19 trophies in less than a decade. This long-overdue account of the unassuming enigma does justice to his unique low-key style and engagingly brings him out from the shadow of his legendary charismatic predecessor.
From the Publisher:
Bob Paisley's name stands at the summit of managerial achievement in British football. A stunning array of 19 trophies in nine seasons in charge of Liverpool was his incredible response to accepting a job he never wanted, that of succeeding the legendary Bill Shankly as Anfield manager.
It was a challenge many pundits rated impossible. But Paisley proved he was a reluctant genius by becoming a legend himself and outstripping Shankly's record and every other manager in the history of the British national game.
He led Liverpool to three European Cup triumphs and six League championships and amongst his mass of honours he brought to Liverpool three of the club's greatest players of all time, the gifted Scottish trio of Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness.
This authorised biography by broadcaster John Keith has been written with the co-operation of the Paisley family. It traces his life from his humble beginnings in a North East pit village, his wartime experiences, his playing days at Anfield and the time he spent as Shankly's right-hand man. With a foreword by Kenny Dalglish and reflections and reminiscences from other soccer legends, including Kevin Keegan, Billy Liddell, Alan Hansen and many others, this is the definitive, compelling story of one of Britain's greatest ever managers.

It's A Fact!
At 6 foot 7 Kevin Francis was the tallest player in the football league. And so said every newspaper article and programme feature written about him throughout his career. He's now a long distance lorry driver.
