Supermac: My Autobiography

by Malcolm MacDonald, Colin Malam

Luton, Fulham, Newcastle and Arsenal were all home to adopted Geordie superstar Malcolm Macdonald, affectionately known as Supermac. In his autobiography he looks back over a dramatic and eventful life. He played football at the highest level (he was capped for England 14 times, and broke the Wembley record when he scored all five goals for England against Cyprus in 1975), went into football management at Luton and Huddersfield, spent five years in Italy, was declared bankrupt and returned to Newcastle. During this time he also overcame alcohol problems with the help of Carol (ex-wife of Brian Johnson, lead singer of AC/DC), whom he had met 25 years earlier).

Reviews

[David Boyle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Decent read Unfortunately his career cut short by injury Should have been capped a lot more by England

[John Newcomb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great striker but one of those blokes who blames everyone other than himself for the things that have gone wrong in his life. I get the impression he is not a very nice guy.

A childhood Geordie hero of mine so a biased review here! Malcolm pulls no punches and names names. Reading this you immediately realise the vast difference between football in the 1970s and now. There wasn't much money in the game then but it was much more enjoyable for everybody, Supermac included! Characters like Malcolm are dying out now. Such a shame.
