Foreword by Ian Rush The Kop has had its heroes over the years - Billy Liddell, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish - but no one has been worshipped quite like Joey Jones. His trademark clenched fist salute as he ran from the tunnel signalled the arrival on the pitch of a living legend This stunning memoir traces an incredible life in football, told by one of the game's greatest players.
