Synopsis
In his early days, John Hartson was nearly kicked out of football when his gambling addiction got the better of him. Then he found himself as tabloid fodder when he made the back pages for all the wrong reasons.
While in 1998 he was notoriously filmed kicking Eyal Berkovic in the head in a training ground fracas. But, despite these problems, he was determined to make the most of his talents. He reveals the managers who saved his career, when fitness scares threatened to bring it all to a close.
Finally, at Celtic he had the regular opportunity to show the skill and goalscoring talent that made him such a terrace hero in his earlier days at clubs such as Arsenal, West Ham and Wimbledon.
In a world where interesting characters now seem as rare as Chelsea defeats, Hartson's autobiography is undoubtedly one that will stand out as a lively and entertaining read to be enjoyed by football fans whatever their allegiance.
Review
He's got no hair but we don't care, walking in a Hartson wonderland. That famous song was belted out 110 times around Celtic Park as big bad John became one of a select band of players to score a century of goals in the Hoops. Now in his typical no-holds barred style, the former Arsenal and Wales striker tackles the mission of naming his best ever Celtic eleven. This is his list of legends, chosen by a player who battled back from the brink of death and won his battle with cancer and a place in the hearts of millions. This is John Hartson's Celtic Dream Team.
