Pass and Move - the Alan Buckley Story

Alan Buckley is one of only 18 League managers to grace the '1000 club' after spells at Walsall, West Brom, Lincoln and most notably Grimsby Town, where he remains their most successful manager.

Bucko was also a player at Forest and Birmingham. The author is available for signings and remains on good terms with the local and national media.

This is aimed mainly at fans of Grimsby, Walsall and the teams he was involved in, but his story will appeal to all fans of lower league football nationwide.

Alan was a prolific striker in the 1970s with Walsall, still holding the record for most goals and achieving the unique feat of at least 20 league goals for 5 consecutive seasons.

There are many tales to tell, covering the highs and current lows of a 45 year old career in professional football, his dealings with great characters of the game such as Dave Mackay and Alex Ferguson, triumphs at Wembley and controversial sackings.

Of obvious interest to fans at Grimsby, Walsall and West Brom, the book also has an appeal to those fans who remember football before the Premier League, when success was not measured by the latest flotation or image rights deal. Frank, funny and evocative, "Pass and Move" is filled with tales about the great and the good as 'Bucko' takes you on a journey through 45 years of professional football with all of the many highs and lows that it has brought.
