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.

In sporting terms, a Perfect 10 simply cannot be bettered. When stars get this coveted maximum score, it means they are simply in a class of their own. Now, some of Britain's leading football journalists have adapted the phrase to pick up on a fascinating publishing challenge. They were asked to select a top club and name their "Perfect 10" list of players, using the timescale of the trail-blazing 1960's right up to the modern world of mega million fees and global transfers. There were no positional restrictions. Each prestigious list could contain ten centre-forwards, or just as easily have six wingers and four goalkeepers. The clubs who were put under the microscope and each given a "Perfect 10" by the authors who studied the claims of an array of supremely talented candidates were: Manchester United; Chelsea; Newcastle United; Aston Villa and Glasgow Rangers. The end product is five individual paperback books of which "Chelsea's Perfect 10" is one - encompassing golden memories, famous games and legendary individual performances. "Chelsea's Perfect 10" features pages of personal debate as Barnett considers and dismisses the claims of some real superstars in his ultimate search for the greatest of them all.

It is a reprint of the ONLY book about Shankly that was authorised by the man himself, and therefore it gives a unique insight into his background and career Updated with new author foreword by ghostwriter John Roberts, and given a fresh, modern look BILL SHANKLY is one of the greatest figures in football. His only authorised autobiography was a best-seller in the 1970s and now it is being published again for the first time. Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the great man's arrival at Anfield, SHANKLY: MY STORY will give a new generation of football fans a unique insight into the real man behind the legend. Ghost-written by John Roberts - one of the only journalists Shankly trusted to tell his life story - this is the tale of his rise from a poor Scottish mining village to international fame as creator of the most successful side of the era - Liverpool. This book provides in-depth analysis in the inimitable Shankly style of the players he nurtured - from Ian St John to Emlyn Hughes and Kevin Keegan - and revealing descriptions of the methods that made Liverpool uniquely feared and respected. Written in the years after his dramatic resignation as Liverpool manager, it gives an insight into Shankly's feelings about the club that he felt had turned its back on him, and explores the astonishing relationship he had with the supporters they called 'Shankly's Red Army'. Shankly's unputdownable memoirs show the man: tough, cracking with wit, full of insights and that quality which made him a great football manager and personality - heart.
