Following on from Derek Niven’s first book in the ‘Pride Series’, Pride of the Lions, a genealogical history of the Lisbon Lions, he turns his attention to the great football managers Scotland has produced in Pride of the Jocks. Once again, this book is not just about the footballing achievements of Scotland’s greatest managers. It tells the story of the unsung men and women who made the 16 greatest managers, through the extraordinary tales of their family histories. Read the astonishing family histories behind Scottish managerial greats such as: Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Jock Stein OBE, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Kenny Dalglish and many more famous managers. The previous book Pride of the Lions commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions winning the European Cup in 1967. In some small way, Pride of the Jocks commemorates the 60th anniversary of the terrible Munich Air Disaster and the 50th anniversary of Manchester United winning the European Cup – both synonymous with the legendary Sir Matt Busby. The sequel to Pride of the Jocks is the new book Pride of the Bears, which tells the extraordinary family histories behind the 1972 Rangers ECWC team that became the Barca Bears.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Derek Niven is a pseudonym used by the author John Mc Gee, a member of ASGRA, in the publication of his factual genealogical writings and Derek Beaugarde for his fictional science fiction writings. John Mc Gee, aka ‘The Two Dereks’, was born in 1956 in the railway village of Corkerhill, Glasgow and he attended Mosspark Primary and Allan Glen’s schools. The late great actor Sir Derek Bogarde spent two unhappy years at Allan Glen’s when he was a pupil named Derek Niven van den Bogaerde, thus the observant reader will readily be able to discern the origin of the two pseudonyms. After spending 34 years in the rail industry in train planning and accountancy John Mc Gee retired in 2007. In 2012 the idea for his apocalyptic science fiction novel first emerged and 2084: The End of Days © Derek Beaugarde was published by Corkerhill Press in 2016. This was followed by Pride of the Lions © Derek Niven published by Corkerhill Press in 2017 and Pride of the Jocks © Derek Niven, foreword by Kathleen Murdoch, published by Corkerhill Press in 2018. The third book in the series is Pride of the Bears published by Corkerhill Press in 2020.
