Leo McKinstry writes regularly for the Daily Mail, Sunday Telegraph and Spectator. Yes, a book about football, but much more a book about relationships, adversity and dealing with being a public figure for a long time.more Added to this, his forgetfulness with names, lack of personal organisation and bloody mindedness, and he provided a number of laugh out loud moments, for me anyway.

He was always my favourite as a footballer, but Jack seems to be a much more three dimensional character, his own man, much braver and full of self belief.

Bobby is reliable, polite and utterly professional at all times, very much a man that it is hard to find fault with. As for the main two subjects, and their being вЂbrothers in conflictвЂ™ вЂ“ there isnвЂ™t a great deal to tell us why, but we do see that they are poles apart in just about everything.

The author introduces and includes a number of players and managers who are inspirational, cynical, kind, cruel, greedy and generous вЂ“ in fact having all the characteristics that keep any good book going. This book fills in some of the gaps of these events, which span well over 40 years and I would say that it is an absorbing read for non football fans as well as us lucky people. They may also recall that the tables were turned when it came to management, with Bobby having a brief career which is probably best forgotten, while Jack took to it much better вЂ“ and at the same time re-inventing himself as a man of the people, self assured, confident and almost fearless вЂ“ almost the opposite of Bobby. Football fans will by now have recognised that Bobby is the younger brother, and will remember that Jack, his brother seemed to be in the shadows while in their playing days. He much prefers shooting and fishing but, clearly with an eye on the future, takes and passes a coaching course at the age of 22. Meanwhile, the elder brother has joined a team that seems to be going nowhere, but he doesnвЂ™t seem to care all that much. Until returning from an away game in Europe, when a number of his team mates and friends perish when their plane crashes on takeoff. The younger of the two joins a first division club, that nurtures his talent, and he quickly makes a name for himself as an exciting goalscorer вЂ“ one of a team of young players with the world at their feet. The elder one isnвЂ™t as good at it as the second one, but they both are successful in what they do.

There are two brothers out of four, with a talent for football. There is still something for readers who donвЂ™t like football though. The younger of the two joins a first division club, that nurtures his talent, and he quickly makes a name fo Having joined the bores who go on about how much better football was when they were younger some years ago, it was never in doubt that I would enjoy this book.
