When the first edition of The Glory Game was published in 1972, it was instantly hailed as the most insightful book about the life of a football club ever published.

'Brilliant, vicious, unmerciful,' wrote The Sun • Davies spent a whole season with the team, training with them, visiting the players' homes and witnessing the dressing-room confrontations.
