I know I'm probably a bit behind but I've just finished the great mans book. What a read, it's the first time a book has given me goosebumps from start to finish, and I never even saw him play!! It's really sad that there will probably never be anyone like him again at Easter Road!

Bit disappointed with this. Thought he might have signed for the season when I read the title.

Really enjoyed Lawrie's book. Quite amazing how highly regarded Hibs were in world football back them - true globetrotters and trend setters. Also how much a shower of erseholes the SFA international commitee were. Best bit for me though was when Lawrie mentioned Willie Ormond having managed Hearts and Lawrie's response to a question he was asked as to whether he would have managed Hearts. Of course, he said, and I'd make sure I got them relegated. Top man!

I used to drink in his boozer down Leith in the early 90's and he was always a complete gentleman :thumbsup::agree:
