Inhaltsangabe:

Stan Bowles was one of the greatest players of the golden age of English football, the 1970s. But like many of his contemporaries, he was probably as famous for his exploits in the bar or at the race track. Packed with irreverent and entertaining anecdotes, the book covers the ups and downs of Bowles' career, his childhood in Manchester, his early days at Man City, his heyday at QPR, and the unhappier times at Forest and Leyton Orient. A candid, and frequently hilarious tale of a life at the bar with the cream of 1970s British football, Stan Bowles: The Autobiography is an unflinching account of Stan's struggles and successes.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Ralph Allen and John Iona are long-time friends of Stan Bowles. The initial idea to pen this autobiography came late one night in their local hostelry, The Rose and Crown in Isleworth.

Stan, the man of many words, said, 'Hey, do you know, no one's ever written about me,' as we all, lager in hand, rested our elbows unsteadily on the bar.

So that's how it started and we've had a great time along the way; the memories are priceless.

Three friends together -- one famous and the other two still hung over!
