A LIFE IN FOOTBALL. A LIFE IN CELTIC.
Still loved by fans for the way he gave his heart and soul out on the pitch, Murdo MacLeod will forever be remembered for the decisive goal that helped Celtic win the league title in 1979 against bitter rivals Rangers, sparking a deafening roar of the familiar chant MURDO! MURDO! around the stadium.
Murdo has had an extraordinary career and has won every domestic honour. With over 300 appearances for Celtic and 20 for Scotland, he also won the German Cup and Super Cup in 1989 with Borussia Dortmund before returning to home soil to start his coaching career with Hibernian FC, and back at Celtic FC as Assistant Coach under Wim Jansen.
Murdo talks about his glittering career and his recent health struggles which have led to heart surgery, two months on life support and having to learn to walk again. Going from sporting hero to a desperate struggle for life, this is the searingly honest and heartfelt memoir from a much-loved football legend.
'If you wanted a day and a night in the life of Murdo, you'd take the night that Murdo scored the fourth goal to settle the 4-2 game, and you'd take the day he stood beside Wim Jansen and stopped Rangers from winning 10 in a row' HUGH KEEVINS
'Murdo MacLeod will forever hold a place in the hearts of Celtic supporters' THE HERALD
'An astonishing story' Keith Jackson, DAILY RECORD
'One of the most humble and solid men I have ever met. I am grateful he is a friend of mine' HENRIK LARSSON
