The goalkeeper of Don Revie's triumphant Leeds United team of the
late 1960s and early '70s, Gary Sprake made over 500 appearances
for the club in a career that saw him win domestic and European
honours and make thirty-seven appearances for Wales - yet for many
people he will always be remembered as the man who threw the ball
into his own net in a game against Liverpool. A handful of
high-profile errors, and the resultant reputation as something of a
liability, have taken precedence over the view held by many
contemporary players and commentators that he was one of the best
'keepers of his generation. His heroics won many matches for Leeds,
including the 1965 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United and
the 1968 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final against Ferencvaros - yet
still the one time 'Hero of Budapest' is more often remembered as
'Careless Hands', his name associated with the goalkeeping gaffes
and with the infamous Revie match-fixing scandal, while team-mates
have taken the plaudits for the side's tremendous achievements on
the pitch. This fully authorised biography, written in conjunction
with Gary himself, at last gives his side of the story and reminds
us of the forgotten truth about this often unfairly maligned
player. Whatever preconceptions people may have about Gary Sprake,
they will find here an honest, balanced account of what really went
on, and as such this book should not be missed.
