Gary McAllister

Gary McAllister made the game of football look easy. The proverbial classy midfield player who saw the full picture, and could affect it, in the crucial seconds before his opponent.

Unprepared to succumb to a story that began with knock-backs, Gary wrote his own place in the history and folklore of every club he played for - a winner at Motherwell, champion at Leeds, immortal at Liverpool, and a Scotland captain of some repute. But there were lows to counter the highs, and Gary discusses these with searing honesty. However, he is not defined by the hard times, but rather the moments where his class and will to win elevated him to the very top of the game.

With contributions from Steven Gerrard, Gordon Strachan and Ardal O’Hanlon, this is the story of one of the greatest Scotland players of his, or any, generation.
