Virgin Books, 2004. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6.5" x 9.5. H/B 246 pages, condition is Very Good, minor edge wear. Unpredictable and quick witted, Gordon Strachan has been one of the greatest exponents of the post-match interview - always honest about himself and his team's performances. As a manager first at Coventry City and then Southampton, Strachan's comments were guaranteed to be as entertaining, if not more so, than the match itself. Yet his contribution to British football as a top player on both sides of the border, winning championships, cups and appearing in two World Cup finals, should not be forgotten. He made his debut for Dundee at 16 before a move to Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen saw him become their most influential figure as they broke the Old-Firm stranglehold on Scottish football at the start of the 80s. The European Cup Winners' Cup and a host of domestic honours were won, including the first of his 50 caps for Scotland, and a high-profile move to Manchester United soon followed in 1984. After a disappointing five-year period during which only the FA Cup was won, he became surplus to requirements, and at the age of 32 he was sold to Leeds United, then languishing in the old second division. Their subsequent promotion and capture of the first division title brought Strachan the Football Writers' Player Of The Year award in 1991; he is still the only player to have won it in both England and Scotland. His extraordinary fitness enabled him to keep playing for a struggling Coventry City at the age of 39. A move upstairs to management could not halt the inevitable, and after they were relegated in 2001, Strachan was sacked a few months later. Almost immediately he was snapped up by Southampton, and under his guidance they achieved their highest ever finish in the Premiership, and reached the 2003 FA Cup final. In January 2004 it was announced that Strachan would not be extending his contract at the end of the season; he would be undergoing a hip replacement operation instead and needed time away from management to recover. The following month he decided to resign, and there was genuine sadness amongst fans, fellow professionals and the media. In Gordon Strachan: The Biography Leo Moynihan reveals a man who was passionate and tireless as a player, and committed and fiery as a manager. After his outstanding contribution to the sport on and off the field, his hoped for reappearance someday soon will be warmly greeted by all who know and love the game of football.
