"Gory Tales" - The autobiography of John Gorman, the former defender.
John Gorman’s story is very much about a football man, but it is also much more than just that.
After a lifetime in the game John thought he had seen and done it all. He had played, coached and managed at the top and experienced the harsh realities of survival at the lower end of the scale.
There was little in professional football that he had not had to cope with. But on a cold February day in 2006 as he gazed lovingly into the weary eyes of his dying wife, Myra, he knew trying to maintain his ability to think clearly as a manager would be impossible.
Football had always meant so much to him, but love for his wife meant so much more.
