Galvinised is the tale of two footballing brothers with contrasting
fortunes who played in a golden age of the game. It's a story of
glamour and heartache. Tottenham Hotspur snapped up left-winger
Tony Galvin from non-league Goole Town while he was studying
Russian at Hull University. Tony won the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with
Spurs alongside legendary stars such as Glenn Hoddle and Ossie
Ardiles. He also won 29 Republic of Ireland caps and played at Euro
88. Tony ended his playing days at Sheffield Wednesday and Swindon
Town. Conversely, elder brother Chris, an inside-forward, joined
Leeds United as an apprentice but struggled to break into Don
Revie's iconic team. After witnessing Leeds' glory days from the
subs' bench, he played across the Football League pyramid at Hull
City, Stockport County and York City before finding success in Hong
Kong. The Galvin brothers have tales galore from the 1960s to
1980s, and share stories of players, travelling escapades, training
ground bust-ups and unforgettable matches in this unique biography.
