Seller's Description
IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE LIFE OF DEREK DOUGAN. By David Tossell.
Derek Dougan was no ordinary footballer. A flamboyant centre-forward who scored more than 200 professional goals, his unwillingness to accept injustice and mismagaement won him as many enemies as friends.
Shortly after being asked to collaborate on a new autobiography, a project undone by Dougan's sudden death, David Tossell set out to retrace the steps of his life through the exhaustive series of interviews with teammates, opponents and friends.
Shortly after being asked to collaborate on a new autobiography, a project undone by Dougan's sudden death, David Tossell set out to retrace the steps of his life through the exhaustive series of interviews with teammates, opponents and friends.
The result is a fascinating study of the evolution of British football over several decades and the definitive account of one of its most contradictory and iconic figures - a player who demanded a trasfer on the eve of an FA Cup final, was involved in a fatal car crash and fell out with various clubs. Even his Wembley winner's medal at Wolves was earned against a backdrop of resentment and battles. As chairman of the PFA, he led a long fight for freedom of contract and as a club executive he introduced shirt sponsership and later helped save Wolves from extinction.
IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW reveals the darkness and light of Derek Dougan, and the drive and demons that kept him fighting to the very end.
