The Pride of the Bears: The untold story of the men and women who made the Barça Bears

This book stands as a humble tribute to all the men and women who helped shape the Rangers players who won the ECWC in Barcelona on that May night in 1972. Following on from Derek Niven's genealogical histories of the Lisbon Lions and the greatest Scottish football managers, he turns his attention to the heroes of Rangers European Cup Winners Cup victory in Pride of the Bears. Like its predecessors this book is not just about the footballing achievements of that famous Rangers team; it tells the story of the unsung people who made those players, through the extraordinary tales of their family histories. Find out the histories behind all the glorious medal winners of 1972 including Peter McCloy, Sandy Jardine, John Greig, Alex MacDonald, Colin Stein, Willie Mathieson and all the other Rangers greats of the Barca Bears.
