Crops: The Alex Cropley Story

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Alex Cropley

More than just the tale of one man and his football, Crops is a testament to the passion of generations for the beautiful game, as well as a heart-wrenching account of the sacrifices that commitment to life on the pitch can lead to.

Filled with frank recollections of personal triumphs and despair, Crops is also peppered with anecdotes about the footballing legends Cropley played alongside and captures the spirit of football in the seventies. Whether readers remember Cropleys more famous goals with warmth or recognise themselves in the football-crazed kid playing on the streets, this is a must-have for any football fan.

About Alex Cropley

ALEX CROPLEY played for Hibernian Arsenal and AstonVilla football clubs among others. Born in Aldershot to a family of semiprofessional football players he also played for the Scottish national side in the 1970s. Two dreadful leg-breaks resulted in many English First Division games being missed before his move to Aston Villa. Affectionately known as Studs at Villa because of his ferocious tackling Cropley retired due to injuries during his tenure there. TOM WRIGHT was taken to his first game aged nine a friendly against Leicester City at Easter Road in February 1957. Little did he realise that football and Hibs in particular would become such a major influence in his life from that day on. Wright has now been a Hibs supporter for over 50 years and has the scars to prove it. Previously the Secretary of the Hibs Former Players Association Wright is now the official club historian and curator of the Hibernian Historical Trust. He is the author of Hibernian: From Joe Baker to Turnbulls Tornadoes and The Golden Years: Hibernian in the Days of the Famous Five.
