Flower of Scotland?

Flower of Scotland? offers an intriguing passport to travel in the footsteps of the distinguished football commentator Archie Macpherson, who looks to separate myth from fact in his personal odyssey through the last four decades of Scottish football. From the early 1960s Macpherson has witnessed almost all of the great events in the game and encountered, and clashed with, most of the major personalities who influenced the character of Scottish football. His compelling narrative evokes the atmosphere of triumph and failure that punctuated the past forty years.

ARCHIE MACPHERSON has been a reporter and commentator in six World Cup Finals and four Olympic Games. He left the BBC in 1990 and has since broadcast for Eurosport and Scottish Television. He is the author of Blue and Green (1989), Action Replays (1991) and the 2004 bestseller Jock Stein: The Definitive Biography, also published by Highdown.
