Biggest of the big gamblers Gary has been punter racecourse bookmaker & in recent years television pundit heading BBC coverage of the betting ring. But there are two sides to Gary Wiltshire. One shows the genial wise-cracking personality revelling in every angle of the betting business the poor boy made good with racehorses running in his colours & a personalised number-plate on his Mercedes. The other shows his obsessive punting bringing him to what he unflinchingly calls 'rock bottom'. The story tells how from the age of five he could calculate the return on a bet; how he would serve the Kray twins at his father's flower stall in Leather Lane; how he famously lost GBP800 000 on the day of Frankie Dettori's ' Magnificent Seven' at Ascot

One of Celtics greatest ever strikers Stevie Chalmers epitomised the exciting attacking football with which Celtic took Europe by storm during the 1960s. It was Stevie who scored the golden goal in the 1967 European Cup final that clinched the great trophy for Celtic & that saw him & his team-mates immortalised as the Lisbon Lions. Stevie was the Glasgow clubs leading scorer in that amazing 1966-67 season when they became the first British club to reign as champions of Europe & in which they scooped up every trophy at home. He was also the clubs most prolific striker during the 1960s becoming leading goalscorer for Celtic four times during that decade. It was appropriate then that it should be Stevie Chalmers who should nip in ahead of everyone five minutes from time in Lisbon to finish off with finesse the challenge of Internazionale of Milan the richest & most successful club in the world. It was the most magical moment in Celtics history & Stevie describes here in fascinating detail just how he came to be in the right place at the right time to write himself into history. Here for the first time Stevie relates key inside details of Celtics path to glory his own enormous personal battle to overcome a near-fatal illness to become a footballer & his sometimes uneasy relationship with Jock Stein the Celtic manager. It all underlines the momentousness of his being there to accomplish that match-winning feat on Celtics greatest-ever day. ...
