Items related to Jackie Milburn: A Man of Two Halves (Mainstream Sport)
Written by his son, Jackie Milburn: A Man of Two Halves gives an unprecedented insight into the life and career of the legendary Newcastle United forward. To this day, "Wor Jackie" remains the Magpies' top goalscorer, having notched up 238 goals in 492 appearances in the black-and-white shirt throughout the 1940s and '50s. Jackie Milburn delves beneath the surface glory to reveal how, in spite of his remarkable success as a player, Milburn was constantly tortured by his lack of self-belief. We also learn how the pressures of work took their toll on Milburn and how he spent his post-football days working in a scrapyard, before being rescued by the world of sports journalism. This candid biography, with contributions from Sir Bobby Robson and Alan Shearer, expertly demonstrates why he is still held in high esteem half a century after the peak of his career and 16 years after his death.

About the Author:
Jack Milburn worked for many years in the brewery industry and was formerly a territory manager at Scottish and Newcastle. This book about his father was the subject of a BBC documentary.
Review:
"Well crafted" Sunday Times "The book's main strength is in its warm northern nostalgia, but the general interest lies in exposing just how badly even an iconic player like Milburn could be treated by his club" FourFourTwo
