Danny Blanchflower, a Glorious Life - Mike Donovan

Danny Blanchflower: A Glorious Life is the authorised biography of a football icon, told with the help of those who knew him best. Admired for his eloquence, humour and talent for innovation and inspiration, the cultured midfielder blazed a trail from Glentoran to Barnsley, Aston Villa, Northern Ireland and, ultimately, to Tottenham Hotspur, where he became the most successful captain in the club’s 140-plus-year history. As skipper of the Lilywhites, alongside manager Bill Nicholson, he helped create a team lauded as one of the greatest club sides of all time. It was a team that epitomised what he stood for as a football figure: the pursuit of glory. With inside insight from close family members, media colleagues and fellow footballers, this book is the perfect celebration of the centenary of his birth.
