SKU: 9781836803027 Barcode: 9781836803027
The explosive autobiography of Scottish football legend Neil Simpson – fearless Aberdeen midfielder and one of Alex Ferguson's Gothenburg greats.
Simpson lifts the lid on his dramatic journey – from 'local loon' to European champion and discusses:
Scottish youth team memories of facing the likes of Ruud Gullit and Michel Platini, and earning Scotland caps despite fears his London birth might hold him backHow Neil helped Aberdeen to famous victories over Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Hamburg in 1983, plus three straight Scottish Cup triumphs (1982–84) and league titles in 1984 and 1985Exclusive and candid insight into the fallout from his tackle on Rangers' Ian Durrant in 1988 – an incident that saw him vilified, sued for £2 million and placed under police protectionNeil's search for his elusive father, whom he finally tracked down after more than 60 yearsHis friendship and bust-ups with Alex Ferguson as they made history at PittodrieHis father–son relationship with Jock Stein, his tears after being released in 1990 and his grief after the death of cherished team-mate Neale Cooper
From European glory to the tackle that made him Scottish football's most polarising figure, Simpson finally breaks his silence in this hard-hitting account of triumphs, controversy and survival. Published in 2026.
