Willie Miller remains a hero to thousands of Aberdeen and Scotland fans after a glittering career that made him one of the country's most capped and celebrated players, as well as the most successful club captain outside the Old Firm. The book gives a unique insight into professional football during Miller's era, what it was like to be the first successful captain in a team managed by Sir Alex Ferguson - including their European Cup-Winners' Cup victory over Real Madrid on May 11, 1983. It tells previously untold stories about Sir Alex: the good, the bad and the ugly sides of his eight-year relationship with Willie Miller. During their time together Aberdeen won three Scottish league titles, four Scottish Cups, one league cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, but despite this success it wasn't all plain sailing with as many off-field lows as there were on-field highs.Willie was a hugely successful player with Aberdeen, but the spectre of Sir Alex hovered over him when he took over as Aberdeen manager in 1992. He failed to win a trophy in his three years in charge, and because of this lack of silverware was sacked. Despite personal heartache and financial problems, Willie has bounced back and is currently director of football at Aberdeen, restoring his links with the club he graced as a player for 17 years and where he is still looked upon as a legend. In 2008, the club is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its European Cup Winners' Cup victory with a series of events in Aberdeen, and Willie and his team-mates will be the guests of honour.
