David Fairclough started just 92 games in an eight year Liverpool career yet his standing as one of the most famous goalscorers in the club’s illustrious history is without question.

Another 66 appearances as substitute boosted his Anfield career total & it was for his role as Liverpool’s number 12 for which he is best remembered.

Fairclough was, & always will be, the original ‘ Supersub’.

Yet it is a moniker he loved & loathed in equal measure & one he felt ultimately held him back in his career.

In this refreshingly candid autobiography Fairclough relives the highs & lows of a colourful career.

He recalls his meteoric rise to stardom & the priceless contribution he made to the Liverpool’s remarkable success under Bob Paisley. From his key role against St Etienne on arguably Anfield’s greatest night, through a career that witnessed 19 major trophies, Fairclough lifts the lid on what life was really like for him in the Anfield dressing room of that time, his often fraught relationship with Paisley & explains the psychological burden of being cast as ‘the outsider looking in’.

In an evocative collaboration with journalist Mark Platt, Fairclough’s story is at once a compelling insight into one of the greatest teams in football history, populated by the great players whom David played with & against, & the gripping & characteristically honest memoir of one of Liverpool’s most popular sons.

Ideal for football fans.

Product Description


Details:
Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia & confusion. Obsessed with black magic & the Holy Grail, hes built an altar in the living room & keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution.

His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World.

Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement & the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, & after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.

Ideal for:
This is the definitive account of the making of Bowies LOW & the album itself.

This paperback book has 136 pages & measures: 16.5 x 12.2 x 0.8cm.
