The Jock Wallace Story

About this book

From a humble miner to one of Scotland's greatest ever soccer managers, Jock Wallace worked his way through the ranks, proving himself more than worthy of his team's name

As a player, Jock Wallace had a love of giant-slaying, while a fruitful coaching apprenticeship included European glory before he won two unprecedented trebles with Rangers. At the height of his popularity in Glasgow he quit for Leicester City, where his typically brutal training regime guided the Foxes to the English First Division. After a spell at Motherwell, he moved back to Ibrox, but was sacked after just two trophies in three seasons. Seville was the next port of call, followed by Colchester. Sadly, the great man was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease during his time at Layer Road. When he died in 1996, his popularity in Glasgow gave rise to a suitably huge and colorful shrine at Ibrox.
