Modern Football Explained Book with Scottish Football References

 

Hi All,

I was a coach for 15 years and a professional scout for 5 years. Last year when I was unwell with a kidney stone my Dad thought I should write a book and look to pass on my knowledge. How football has changed since I started watching it, what is involved with being a professional scout and describing elements of the modern game. 

I predicted Robinson would be the next Aberdeen Manager in my book.

    More of an old fashioned defender. Solid, there to inflict constant pain.

    Excellent. Ordered. The book, not the kidney stone.

    No don't order a kidney stone. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Hope you enjoy the book. Thanks.

    Everyone has someone that they'd wish a kidney stone on.
