Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2005

This is the life story of the legendary Liverpool and Scotland 1960s footballer known as "The Saint." In his autobiography, Ian St. John reveals how it felt to play for one of the most successful clubs in Britain, and to be part of one of the greatest moments in the club's history—winning the FA Cup in 1965 after 70 years of trying. He also describes how it felt to be dropped unexpectedly, and how life after Liverpool has been no less eventful, with management positions, television appearances, and more soccer.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Candid and refreshingly honest. An excellent book' -- Observer 'St John has played back his story in vivid colour and at times with painful honesty' -- Independent 'An honest, opinionated autobiography... His portrait of Shankly, whom he worships with painful reservations, is tremendous' -- The Times -- The Times 'Genuinely revealing... St John's attempt to explain his muddled feelings towards mentor Bill Shankly is worth the cover price alone' -- Scotsman 'a thrill to read and sheds new light on some of the game's leading personalities.' -- Sunday Herald --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

About the Author

Born in 1938, Ian St John was one of six siblings brought up by his widowed mother, his father dying when he was young. He joined Motherwell in 1956, then was signed by Liverpool in 1961. When his playing days were over he managed Coventry City, Motherwell, Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday. Then came his TV career and his famous pairing with Jimmy Greaves to present 'Saint and Greavsie' in 1984. Ian St John is now much in demand as an after dinner speaker and runs a highly successful soccer coaching school. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
