BOOK SYNOPSIS
Frank McLintock's passion and deep knowledge of football have kept him in the game for over 45 years.
His 1964 British record move to Arsenal heralded the beginning of the most successful period of his career, although at the time his new club were languishing in the wilderness, having failed to win any silverware for many seasons. His appointment as Arsenal captain marked a turning point for both club and man, as his determination to succeed swept through Highbury. In 1970 he led the Gunners to a famous Fairs Cup victory and the following season he dramatically broke his Wembley hoodoo when he completed the second part of an League and FA Cup double.
Leaving Arsenal in controversial circumstances, he joined QPR for four very successful years. When his playing career ended, he moved into management before becoming a football agent. His insights into the sometimes shady world are fascinating and the talks frankly about his involvement in the scandal that surrounded Teddy Sheringham's transfer from Forest to Spurs.
Retaining a high profile through regular appearances on Sky, Frank McLintock remains one of the game's most popular characters and storytellers, and he brings his wonderful football career to life with infectious enthusiasm.
