    Just finished reading this, written by Archie MacPherson.

    It's an absolute must read for any Celtic supporter, or even who's into Scottish football in general. I dare say many of you's have already read it.

    Jock Stein :notworthy

    Done an assignment on Jock Stein for a unit of my Uni course; the book is a great read.

    Anything worth pointing out?

    I'd like to read it myself of course, but would like to know if there is anything in the bio that might be worthy of comment...

    Read it a few years ago. Really good perspective into Big Jock's life and experiences with the Tic. I never realised how much McPhearson travelled with us.

    Like it now I see it modelled most of my family hated the leaked version but this is much better than I thought. Will still buy it for my man and boy

    I have yet to read it but have only heard great things. Fitting for the legend that is Mr Stein.

    Desmond White and the rest of the decision makers should have been chased down London Road for the way they treated big Jock at the end.
