Klappentext
'A MAGNIFICENTLY INSIGHTFUL READ' CRAIG BROWN
THE ENTHRALLING INSIDE STORY OF SCOTTISH FOOTBALL'S GOLDEN AGE
It's been a long wait since 1998. Over a quarter of a century since Scotland last qualified for the World Cup finals. But recent years have offered a glimmer of hope. With qualification for the last two Euro Championship finals, play-offs in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and the 2026 World Cup approaching, could the long wait finally be over?
Qualification has never been easy, but the golden age of nail-biting nights is well worth remembering. Archie Macpherson commentated on all of Scotland's World Cup matches during that purple patch, from the Zaire crash of 1974 to the defeat against Morocco in 1998. As the voice of Scottish football, Macpherson knew the players, the managers and the fans. He captured the adventure of competing with Iran, Peru, Costa Rica and Brazil, witnessing clashes of personality, managerial rages and so much more.
Now, in the hope that the glory days may return, he tells every detail of the matches and men of the greatest tournament on earth in Adventures in the Golden Age .
'A wonderful history, breathing life into matches and tournaments that have been buried under decades of comment' Hugh MacDonald, The Herald
