Title information Football’s Braveheart The Authorised Biography of Dave Mackay By Mike Donovan Key features • Definitive life story of Dave Mackay, the football legends’ legend who was lauded by the likes of George Best, Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law and Sir Alex Ferguson • Exclusive insight into the man through the eyes of those who knew him, and reveals why managers Bill Nicholson and Brian Clough considered him their best signing • Takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Mackay’s glory-packed playing and managerial career • Charts his battles with injury and illness • Mike Donovan is an award-winning author and veteran sports journalist who met Mackay and saw him play throughout the 1960s • Publicity campaign planned including radio, newspapers, websites, podcasts and magazines Description Football’s Braveheart is the riveting life story of Dave Mackay, the fearless, skilled, heroic and barrel-chested left-half who was an icon for Spurs, Hearts, Derby and Scotland. Off the field, Dave was a humble, fair-minded, sociable man. On it, he was an out-and-out winner, a warrior and inspiration with consummate ball skills and intelligence. The heartbeat of Spurs’ double-winning side of 1961, he came back after two broken legs to add to a glittering trophy collection started at Hearts. After his playing career, Mackay distinguished himself as a title-winning manager with Derby County. A legends’ legend, he was lauded by George Best as the hardest and bravest opponent he ever faced. Fabled managers Bill Nicholson (Spurs) and Brian Clough (Derby) hailed him as their best signing, and other admirers included Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law and Sir Alex Ferguson. Author Mike Donovan has gained exclusive, first-hand insights from those who knew Mackay best to bring you the definitive story of a man who made an indelible mark on football.

Greaves Jimmy: Nato Per Segnare
CONTATTACI STORIE DI CALCIO MONOGRAFIE GLI SPECIALI RASSEGNE DOC FOTO DEL GIORNO VIDEOGALLERY ULTIME STORIE 12 MAGGIO 2017 | GREAVES JIMMY: NATO PER SEGNARE HOME MONOGRAFIE GREAVES Jimmy: nato per segnare Charles Buchan, giornalista del The News Chronicle, era ancora impressionato da ciò che aveva visto al White Heart Lane il 24 agosto 1957 nel corso del match tra Tottenham Hotspurs e Chelsea (1-1). Ciò che lo aveva stupito era un debuttante che i Blues avevano schierato in attacco, “un diciassettenne”, scrisse Buchan, “dotato di tecnica, senso della posizione e personalità da campione consumato, un talento di prim’ordine con le qualità giuste per poter ricalcare le orme di Duncan Edward, il più giovane giocatore inglese ad aver vestito la maglia della nazionale”. Il ragazzo si chiamava Jimmy Greaves, e in quell’incontro segnò la prima di una lunghissima serie di reti realizzate in una carriera da vero e proprio killer dell’area di rigore. Un’attaccante nato e cresciuto per il gol, un rapace degli ultimi metri, uno stile tutto basato sulla rapidità di esecuzione e sull’anticipo, poche giocate spettacolari, niente tocchi di classe alla Bobby Charlton, potenza di tiro modesta, ma sempre al posto giusto nel momento giusto, come confermano i numeri, un metro di paragone con il quale, volenti o nolenti, gli attaccanti devono sempre confrontarsi. Quelli di Greaves parlano di 366 reti in 528 partite con Chelsea, Milan, Tottenham Hotspurs e West Ham, 44 in 57 con la nazionale inglese (solo Bobby Charlton con 49 e Gary Lineker con 48 hanno saputo fare di meglio), 100 gol segnati prima di compiere i 21 anni di età (per la precisione a 20 anni e 290 giorni, il più giovane giocatore di sempre a raggiungere una simile cifra), 41 quelli realizzati in una sola stagione (con il Chelsea nel ’60-61), 220 messi a segno con la maglia del Tottenham (massimo goleador di sempre degli Spurs), sei titoli di capocannoniere vinti.

Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
Made in Derby 2018 Profile Brian Clough and Peter Taylor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Two names that will always be associated with Derby County. They met as young players – Brian a centre-forward and Peter a goalkeeper – at Middlesbrough FC, where they played together for six years. With a shared passion for the beautiful game they formed a friendship that would take them to the very top of English and European football. They first joined forces as managers at Hartlepool United but it was at Derby County where the dynamic duo, as they were known, had their first taste of the big time. Many of Derby's greatest names were signed in the Clough-Taylor era: Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, Alan Hinton, John McGovern, Willie Carlin, Dave Mackay, Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill to name a few. The two managers and their magnificent team took the Rams to the very top, winning the Division One Championship in 1972 and reaching the European Cup semi-finals. The pair controversially resigned early in the 1973-74 season and the partnership broke up briefly, only be reunited at Nottingham Forest in 1976 where they won many accolades, including two European Cups. But it was at Derby County where the partnership first flourished and Taylor’s daughter, Wendy Dickinson, in a biography of her father, said: “When dad and Brian arrived at the Baseball Ground in May, 1967 it was as if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had ridden into town, all guns blazing. These two bright young upstarts were a breath of fresh air at a club that was stuck in the past.” She said her dad was “passionate” about managing Derby and added: “My mum remembers driving down to Derby for the first time and dad said, ‘I wonder what the supporters are like?’ He later said he thought they were the best in the country.” The success of that Derby County team affected everyone in the town and amazing results week after week sent people to work on a Monday morning with a spring in their step.

The Best Football Films You Have Probably Never Seen by Stuart Fuller
The best football films you have probably never seen by Stuart Fuller Films about football have never been that well received by critics for a number of reasons. We’ve all seen Escape to Victory and marvelled at the footballing skill of Sylvester Stallone and the acting ability of Bobby Moore (or was it the other way round?) or the unlikely storylines of the FIFA- approved Goal trilogy, cringe worthy Sheffield United epic, When Saturday Comes. But there are some decent football-related films out there, especially when they recreate actual events. The five below are our top picks where semi-unbelievable story lines, bad acting and woefully choreographed footballing action is left on the cutting room floor. The Miracle of Bern (2003) One of the biggest shocks in World Cup history is now known as ‘the miracle of Bern’ – the name for West Germany’s triumph in the 1954 finals, when Sepp Herberger’s unfancied side beat Hungary’s ‘magic Magyars’ of Puskas and co. Such was the impact of the victory on national consciousness that it’s often seen as a herald of Germany’s economic and political recovery after the war. The tournament also gave us one of the most famous footballing quotes when Herberger was asked whether his side could recover from an earlier heavy defeat to Hungary to beat them in the final. His response was “The ball is round. The game lasts ninety minutes. This much is fact. Everything else is theory.” Director Sönke Wortmann tells the story through the eyes of 11-year-old Matthias, boot polisher to local footballer Helmut Rahn (who would go on to score the winning goal in 1954).
