About this product

Product Information

Now Dixie, a member of the Celtic Hall of Fame, opens his scrapbook of memories on a lifetime of adventures in the beautiful game of football. From the struggle of growing up in a one-parent family to losing his beloved mother just as his career was starting to blossom, to playing under the legendary Jock Stein, Dixie recalls the tumultuous days of a roller-coaster career at the very pinnacle of Scottish football. He lifts the lid on the untold story behind his signing for Celtic, the truth about him and Rangers, his mercurial relationship with Stein and his unique 'brotherly' pact with fellow Celtic icon Jimmy Johnstone. He also pulls no punches over the war with the SFA that saw him branded Public Enemy No1, what life was like playing for a Grand Old Team that included the likes of Dalglish, Macari, McNeill and Connolly and how his Scotland hopes ended in tatters. Also revealed for the first time is the devastating low he experienced after missing the penalty against Inter Milan in 1972 that wrecked Celtic's European dream - and the amazing redemption of hitting a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup Final just 17 days later.
