The Real Mackay tells the life story of one of football's genuine
legends, a man whose presence in any team spurred them on to
championship-winning form: Dave Mackay. It is the refreshing,
honest and action-packed autobiography of a man who was at the
centre of many of the biggest stories of British football for
almost three decades. Mackay debuted for Hearts in 1953, by which
time he had already made his mark at junior level. At the time he
signed for the Edinburgh club, they had not won a major honour for
almost fifty years; but over the next six seasons, Hearts went on
to win the Scottish Cup and League, as well as twice winning the
Scottish League Cup. It is no coincidence that Mackay's arrival at
Tynecastle marked the beginning of what is now viewed as the club's
golden age. In 1959, Dave was transferred south to join Tottenham
Hotspur, who were at that time languishing near the foot of the
English First Division. During the 1960-61 season, Spurs became the
first side in the twentieth century to win the Double and went on
to win the FA Cup twice more, along with the European Cup-Winners'
Cup. In 1968, Mackay joined Derby County, who were lowly placed in
the English Second Division. As captain, he led the team up the
table and they finished as champions. Mackay was awarded the
coveted Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year trophy
- a fitting end to a remarkable playing career. In this absorbing
autobiography, Mackay revisits his glorious playing days and
reflects on his subsequent managerial career. He reveals details of
his time as a successful manager in the developing Middle East game
and recounts that on his return to management in England he
discovered that football had changed radically. The Real Mackay is
as uncompromising, determined and controversial as the player
himself.
