Relive Scotland's epic journey to and at the 1990 World Cup in Italy: the trials and tribulations, the dramatic games and goals that defined Scotland's fifth World Cup in a row.
It was 1986 and Alex Ferguson had just led Scotland to a disastrous World Cup in Mexico. Coming away with just one goal and one point in three games, he resigned and joined Manchester United a few months later. Andy Roxburgh, a former PE teacher who had never managed a league club, was his shock replacement. 'Andy who?' asked the press.
In this engrossing book you'll discover:
  • Why Roxburgh was such a shock appointment, assessing the other contenders for the job
  • Roxburgh's management style and the background of his assistant Craig Brown
  • The roller-coaster ride that was Scotland's dramatic qualifying campaign, with full game reports and analysis
  • The aftermath: Scotland qualifying for Euro 1992, their first European Championship

  • Featuring players' and fans' stories, this is the definitive account of that glorious long hot summer. It's a must for all Scottish football fans and anyone who loves the iconic 1990 World Cup.
