Sandy: The Biography of Sandy Jardine Paperback – 31 Oct. 2016

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 131 ratings

William Pullar Sandy Jardine is an Ibrox icon. Respected and revered throughout the football world and beyond, he will forever be a club legend.


Sandy was the consummate professional. His silky skills, speed and ability to read the game were combined with a sense of fair play that made him truly world class. He was soon an integral part of the Rangers team and became a club legend when the Barcelona Bears won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972. He also played in two dramatic World Cups and won 39 caps for Scotland. Later, Edinburgh-born Sandy fulfilled another personal dream when he signed for Hearts and his impact at Tynecastle was immense.


Then, in 2012, the financial meltdown at Rangers brought Sandy back into the limelight. In those troubled times, nobody did more than Sandy Jardine to galvanise the club and its supporters, and he famously led 8,000 fans to Hampden to protest against sanctions imposed by the SFA. But in late 2012, Sandy announced that he was battling cancer, a fight he would bravely lose in April 2014.


SANDY The Authorised Biography of Sandy Jardine is the definitive story of one of football s true legends and a fitting tribute to a man who was loved and respected by family, friends and football fans wherever he went.

A fantastic read for any "true blue" Rangers fan! The author gives you a great insight into the man as well as the superstar footballer. He shows you the high regard that Sandy Jardine was held in by not only his teammates, fans but also football administrators alike. It also takes you behind the scenes at Ibrox during the most turbulent times in our great club's history and shows you that if it hadn't been for certain individuals The Famous Glasgow Rangers might not be here today!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissatisfied!
Reviewed in the United States on 17 May 2019
I bought or more accurately I thought that I bought a biography of Sandy Jardine.But apart from few pages about his childhood and youth days ,its more of a review of Rangers season by season during SJ days.I have Rangers books and neither it's up to the standard of those.Chaotically written and quite boring.Im up in the middle and my enthusiasm is quickly dying.
