Críticas

"This marvellous book tells the story, in the authors' words, of "the trials and tribulations associated with supporting our national team". To accompany the excellent writing style, the illustrations are a thing of wonder. [Everything] is covered with humour, humility and knowingness. The style of the authors is a perfect fit and this excellent book will be enjoyed by football fans, Scottish or otherwise." --Programme Monthly

"A great look back at the Scottish national team through the (occasional) good times and (more often) bad. Similar to the successful Got, Not Got series of books in terms of layout, packed full of great photography, souvenirs and memories. If you're Scottish and love your national team, you'll love this book." --The League Mag

Reseña del editor

Scotland - Glory, Tears & Souvenirs is an offbeat collection of memories, mementos, rants and aspirations relating to Scotland's national football team. A 'look back in hunger' on the post-war era, with emphasis on the 1970s to date. A reminder of the way football was, the way it is now and the way we'd like it to be! There's Switzerland 54, Denis Law, trading cards, match programmes, Archie Gemmill, Argentina 78, beermats, Kenny Dalglish, vinyl records, Spain 82, Ally McCoist, the Tartan Army, Italia 90, the Kirin Cup, Jimmy Hill, France 98, Panini stickers and James McFadden. Nostalgia and a warped sense of humour are what gets Scotland supporters through in a nightmare world where all our near-neighbours now get to 'go to the ball' - France 2016, at least - while we await the arrival of a Fairy Godmother and a defence that doesn't leak goals. There's no room for wallowing in self-pity, though. Read this therapeutic comfort blanket of a book, cheer at the good bits and laugh at the bad. We shall overcome...
