Description

The King of Dens Park is the authorised life story of Alan Gilzean, the legendary, world-class Dundee, Spurs and Scotland footballer.

Exclusive insights provided by his family, closest friends and colleagues add to the author's own experience to reveal Gilzean, the man and the player.

A reserved, charming and intelligent individual who shunned the limelight off the field, Gilzean played with a swagger as a maker and taker of goals.

We discover how the native of the Perthshire town of Coupar Angus became one of the greatest performers in the history of both his clubs.

Gilzean emerged a Scottish folk hero having scored the winning goal against England in front of 133,000 at Hampden Park - and was later welcomed back with open arms by the game after ending a self-imposed exile during which the uninformed conjured often defamatory myths.

The elegant striker dubbed 'Nureyev in Boots' left us on Sunday, 8 July 2018.

There will never be another like him.
