The Real Bob Paisley

by Ken Rogers

The follow-up to the bestselling "The Real Bill Shankly", this long overdue publication celebrates the life and times of arguably the most successful manager in British football history. It seems appropriate that at a time when over 40,000 people have signed a petition to grant Bob Paisley a posthumous knighthood, his on and off-field life is examined and celebrated. The book offers an inside track, revelling in his life and times 30 years after he guided Liverpool Football Club to their first-ever European Cup triumph. The complete story paints an accurate profile of a very private man through the eyes of his family, those who knew him the best away from the glare of the public eye. His treasured family album is made public for the very first time, while tributes from some of the game's greatest names only serve to enhance his reputation as one of the finest servants the English game has ever seen. "The Real Bob Paisley" features marvellous photography from the unique archive collection of the "Liverpool Daily Post" and "Echo", and will be the definitive official record of his life - officially endorsed by Liverpool FC.
