Slim Jim Baxter: The Definitive Biography - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Jim Baxter was one of the greatest footballers Scotland has ever produced. But his career was over by the time he reached 30 and in 2001 he died at the early age of 61, victim of a life-style that ultimately destroyed him. He played just two games against England at Wembley, but these 180 minutes turned him into a legend. The victories in 1963 and 1967 - the second one when England were World champions - were Baxter's greatest performances for his country. His way of turning on the style was how the supporters wanted to see the game played. He played for Rangers for only five years and returned briefly for a sad spell after five unhappy seasons in England. Years of drinking had taken their toll on his fitness and saw his career end at a time when he should have been at his peak. Ultimately alcohol also killed him.
