He arrived to rally the troops, the main man in the Inter City Firm and
his greeting passed into football fan history. "Afternoon, gentlemen,
the name's Bill Gardner." That introduction alone was often enough to
provoke sheer terror in his opponents. He is a genuine legend to anyone
who's ever stood proud on a football terrace. No serious book on the
culture would be complete without at least one mention of him. And now
at last, he's telling his own, long-awaited story. For the first time,
Gardner himself reveals what made him the top man, including his
innermost thoughts and his memories of the classic years for football
fans. And many familiar faces have queued up to add their comments in
this book which shows just what it is that makes Bill Gardner unique
among the toughest and the greatest of them all.
