Beneath this seeming fairytale, however, lies a heart-rending story of personal tragedy and a heartwarming tale of triumph in the face of adversity. Discover how the demon drink cost him his big break as a teenager; find out why he spurned advances from Sir Alex Ferguson in his 1980s Aberdeen glory days; and, read his own account of his unwitting involvement with the English hooliganism scene as a young Chelsea player. There's also the inside story of Duncan Shearer's time both at Huddersfield Town and at Swindon Town and how his goalscoring exploits and incredible scoring record made him a legend with fans at both clubs. As well as giving the inside track on his footballing youth, Shearer recalls his transition to coaching. He tells of his partnership with Steve Paterson which lead to their turbulent period in charge at Pittodrie. Candidly, Shearer looks back at his battle to save his manager's career amidst Paterson's well publicised personal problems.

Book Description
On a rainy night in Gothenburg in May 1983 twelve young Scotsmen turned the footballing world on its head. Against all the odds, those players took on the might of Spanish giants Real Madrid, and beat them convincingly. Aberdeen were winners of the European Cup Winners Cup. The manager, Alex Ferguson, would go on to become one of the greats, his team Pittodrie legends. The tale of that season, the remarkable triumph in the Ullevi Stadium and of the men who made it possible has never fully been told - until now. "Glory In Gothenburg" goes behind the scenes, deep into the inner sanctum, and through a series of in-depth interviews with all the main characters reveals what made that side and those players so special and what drove them on to achieve unparalleled success. Thirty years later, the story remains one of the most astonishing in the history of Scottish football.
