A footballer who became a national hero, a talented player who gave his best when he played for Wales. We read about his time whilst playing for teams such as Luton, Millwall, Arsenal and, of course, Celtic. WE read of his experiences whilst wearing the No 9 shirt and of the mighty defenders he came up against. He gives his opinion on the various managers of the teams he's played for and is willing to name the worst manager Wales has ever had. He was used to battling on the football pitch, but he also had to fight a battle off the pitch. He tells us of his fight against serious illness, through his own experiences and through the words of his mother. Reading this book will inspire not only young footballers but also those who are suffering from disease as they read about John's efforts to conquer his illness.
