The book tells his illustrious sporting life-story from how being expelled from school at fifteen years of age for playing football for his country led him to London to join Arsenal, to his time in Italy playing for much vaunted Juventus and Inter Milan sides.

During this time he amassed 72 international caps leading Ireland to many memorable victories before retiring and entering management with Celtic, Brighton and latterly becoming assistant manager of his national team.
