During his long reign at Celtic, Jock Stein was a legendary figure in the world of football. He led a youthful Celtic side to a memorable European Cup triumph in Lisbon in 1967 and was in charge of the home-grown Celtic teams which won nine Scottish league championships in a row, as well as numerous domestic trophies.

Tom Campbell and David Potter have produced an affectionate and in-depth portrait of Stein, but are not afraid to delve below the surface of the legend to examine the manager's mistakes and failings, as well as his triumphs and strengths.

Calling upon such expert witnesses as Bobby Murdoch, Ronnie Simpson, and Charlie Gallagher, as well as a host of other important figures in the game, Jock Stein presents a detailed picture of a man who, at the height of his powers at Celtic Park, revolutionised the game of football in this country.
