Product Information

It bears repeating that, not only has this no bearing on the plot – he is at this moment being shepherded to his death by two unknown Irish gunmen - AND such insights are never again returned to or referenced elsewhere in the book. More bizarre set plays follow, including a moment where Barnes is kidnapped by British Secret Service agents who ask him to go undercover. a b "Games played by Steve Bruce in 1998/1999". Soccerbase.

Bathetic statements of the mundane, stark in their beauty, are sprinkled through the text like precious jewels woven into a tapestry: Then my mobile telephone rang. I did not curse the interruption. A mobile phone is a necessary instrument of modern business. And better still: It is a building more than one hundred years old. Built in the Italian style, someone told me. I wouldn’t have known. Architecture, like much else, is a closed book to me. I cannot have been the only reader to have found that phrase ‘like much else’ profoundly moving. Bruce spent the 1978–79 season in Gillingham's reserve team and, despite playing in defence, scored 18goals to finish the season as top scorer. [14] In January 1979, he was selected to represent the England youth team, and he went on to gain eight caps, participating in the 1980 UEFA European Under-18 Championship. [15] He came close to making his debut for the club's senior team in May 1979, but Summers decided at the last minute that, as Gillingham were chasing promotion from the Third Division, Bruce was not yet ready to handle the pressure of the occasion. [16] He eventually made his senior debut in a League Cup tie against Luton Town on 11 August 1979, [17] and made an immediate impact in the team, winning the club's Player of the Year award at the end of the 1979–80 season. [18] He went on to make more than 200appearances for the club, [14] and was twice voted into the Professional Footballers' Association's Third Division Team of the Year.

United dominated English football in the 1993–94 season, winning a second consecutive Premier League title and then defeating Chelsea in the FA Cup final to become only the fourth team, and Bruce the first English captain, to win the Double in the 20th century, [63] [64] [65] The 1994–95 season was a disappointing one for Bruce and United, as the club failed in its bid to win a third consecutive Premier League title and lost to Everton in the FA Cup final. [66] On World Book Day, we take a look at a handful of those players and managers - and one wordsmith in particular - who put pen to paper on something other than a contract or the standard tell-all tale.
