Derek Dougan was no ordinary footballer. A flamboyant Northern Irish goalscorer, his unwillingness to accept injustice & mismanagement won him as many enemies as friends.

Shortly after being asked to collaborate on a new autobiography, a project undone by Dougans sudden death, David Tossell set out to retrace his life through a series of over 70 interviews.

The result is a definitive account of a contradictory icon with a unique place in the evolution of modern British football. Dougan demanded a transfer on the eve of an FA Cup final, "ed Voltaire & fell out with various clubs.
