Gordon Smith: Prince of Wingers - Paperback

by Tony Smith (Author)

Gordon Smith: Prince of Wingers is a biographical story recounting the life of legendary footballer Gordon Smith, written by his son Tony. One of the "Famous Five," Gordon Smith won the league with Hibernian on three separate occasions during an 18-year-long glittering career with the club. With Heart of Midlothian he won another league medal as well as a League Cup medal, followed by yet another championship medal with Dundee. He represented his country on 39 separate occasions, captaining them three times. His mesmeric skills and grace gave joy to many football fans, not only during his time with the Leith club, but also while playing for Heart of Midlothian, Dundee, and Scotland. The book itself describes Gordon's life from humble beginnings in backstreet alleys kicking stones in place of a football to the stature of becoming one of the most naturally gifted players in the history of British football--while giving readers a unique insight into the life of this very private man.
