Tortured: The Sam English Story is the fascinating yet tragic tale
of a footballer destined to become one of the greatest goalscorers
in Scottish football history, but who by his own admission became
'an embarrassing, grizzly peep show'. English was a veritable goal
machine at Yoker Athletic in the late 1920s, netting nearly 300 in
three seasons, and was soon being chased by a posse of big-name
clubs. Legendary Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman offered him a
blank cheque, but 22-year-old English chose Rangers. He hit 44
league goals in his debut season - still a record today - but
tragedy struck early in the campaign. In the first Old Firm match
of the season, Celtic keeper John Thomson lost his life after
bravely diving at the feet of the entirely blameless English. In an
instant, English became one half of a tragic accident and his life
changed forever. He moved to Liverpool, but was haunted by the
fatality and its accompanying demons. He was cast as a villain and
made a pariah. His life would be defined by that one tragic
incident.
