Jock Stein hugely influenced the history of football between his debut as a professional player in Lanarkshire in 1942 and his death at the side of a pitch in 1985.He redesigned the landscape of the Scottish game as the great innovator,and successfully exported his values outside the country when European football was in the grip of an ice-age of defensive negativity.He was the first British manager,in 1967,to win the European Cup. Macpherson's compelling biography reappraises Stein's career and looks closely at the personality of the man whose shrewdness and cunning stamped him eventually with greatness.The author worked his entire professional life as a contemporary of Stein and travelled the world with him on different ventures.He was present at nearly all of the great triumphs associated with the Celtic and Scotland manager. The trail Macpherson so engagingly follows is from Stein's early days in the coal-mines and the hard grind of provincial football,to the grandeur of the Lisbon final and beyond.In examining the strengths and the weaknesses of this major figure,Macpherson's biography will nevertheless lead no-one to doubt the sincerity of Bill Shankly's ultimate accolade to Stein in 1967: 'John,you are immortal now.'
