A legend at West Bromwich Albion and an icon Wolverhampton Wanderers, Alistair Robertson is a rare footballer who can walk tall either side of a bitter Black Country divide. The tough-tackling Scot spent 18 years at Albion, gaining promotion under Johnny Giles and becoming a rock during the club's heyday from the mid-1970s alongside skipper John Wile. Ultimately Ron Atkinson's entertainers fell short, though not before they had blazed a trail at home and abroad and the likes of Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Bryan Robson had thrilled a nation. Robertson experienced early struggles under Don Howe and other managers earned his ire, including his nemesis Ron Saunders who forced him out of the club in tears. To rub salt into the wounds, he would miss out on a prized Scotland cap. Robertson recovered to lead an ailing Wolves to two divisional titles and a Wembley victory. But beyond the on-pitch aggression and dressing-room camaraderie, Robertson now reveals a calmer, more reflective side to his character.

Ole K – 12.01.2018

– En ålreit fotballbok. Ikke den mest kjente og profilerte spilleren, men Ally drar mange gode historier fra en epoke i engelsk fotball som er fjernt fra dagens premier league. Lettlest og ikke noe litterært mesterverk, men vel verdt tiden det tar å lese den. Passer vel best for oss som drar litt på åra og har et forhold til 70 og 80 tallet og spillerne som var på høyden i den tiden, men for all del; gode fotballhistorier går aldri ut på dato.
