Football's Braveheart : The Authorised Biography of Dave Mackay EPUB

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.
