Between Two Countries

After a long journey on the Derry boat from the Broomielaw, the family finally arrive in Donegal. Six weeks ahead of them. Six weeks away from the smog. Between Two Countries – An Irish Boy from the Gorbals

So it's a book for me and my Dad. If it goes anywhere then great but it's something we will always have together.

That’s how Between Two Countries started. It’s not really a football book — it’s about growing up between two worlds.

A thread.... I never planned to write a book. It started with one question… why is there no film about Lisbon 67?

@TheShamrock1888 I talk about that game in my new book, it was Hughie's first cup final! Cracking picture
