Posted by DavidK (1 year ago ) A brilliant read, even if you are not into football (I'm not). Imlach, a Channel 4, sports commentator, goes on a voyage to discover what his father - who played for Scotland and British clubs in the days of the £20 maximum wage - was really like. He unearths a story of extraordinary dedication, brutal exploitation by the clubs, and quiet modesty.
