Oranje and Blue : The Arthur Numan Story

See all formats and editions

This is the controversial autobiography of Rangers and Holland football legend Arthur Numan.

Arthur Numan, winner of three League titles, four Scottish Cups and three League Cups during his time with Rangers, remains a well-loved figure with the fans and a prominent sports pundit on TV and radio.

Now, Arthur takes us through his time at Ibrox, all the way from his GBP 4.5 million signing in 1998 to his surprise retirement in 2003.

It's a fascinating insider's view that includes details of the final months of Dick Advocaat's controversial reign at the club - the financial turmoil and shocking atmosphere. And, for the first time, Arthur will confide exactly why he quit.

Everything's covered, from Arthur's time growing up in Holland to the forty-five caps he earned for his international side - taking us behind the scenes to report on the bust-ups and the partying, as well as the football at the World Cup Finals in 1994 and 1998 and the European Championships in 1996 and 2000. And expect Arthur's honest and often controversial opinions of some of the biggest players (on and off the pitch) in the game, including Advocaat, Alex McLeish, David Murray, Martin O'Neill, Fernando Ricksen, Pierre van Hoojidonk, Ronaldo, Romario, Barry Ferguson, and exactly what Arthur thinks of the SFA.

Full of revelations and utterly candid, this is an unmissable book for Rangers fans and all those who take their football seriously.
