Superb reading and still manages to throw in little pieces of info that I had never heard before.

I have just finished said book. I never knew that Zbigniew Boniek was poised to join the Dons in the 1980s, or that Fergie was interviewed for the Barcelona job upon the recommendation of Terry Venables. (Spoiler: he didn't get the job).

Although that period is well covered by many books over the years, this one is a fine addition to the Dons bibliography, and I recommend it.

Jocky's Journey

A book about Jocky Scott. Never realised he was an Aberdeen loon, albeit fae Kincorth, but won't hold that against him.

No real revelations in it. Had forgotten all about the Calum Melville boy at Dundee. They really have had some right dodgy owners over the years.

Back to the charity shop it goes.
