Torry: The Life and Career of a Football Great is the story of the remarkable Torry Gillick, a Scottish international footballer revered both in Glasgow and Liverpool.
On the pitch, Gillick won every possible honour in Scottish football with Rangers across two spells at Ibrox, and was the only player signed twice by the legendary Bill Struth. At Everton, he was a key player in their famous league title triumph in 1939, making the club the last champions before World War Two.
Gillick was a character and an entertainer, his skills and goals earning him a place in the Hall of Fame at both clubs. But his story is about more than his wonderful football career; it is one of a family man whose life was blighted by tragedy and heartache, but who always emerged stronger and who earned respect and friendship in and out of football.
David Herd is an acclaimed author on the history of Rangers FC, whose three previous books have been lauded by club fans. He writes regularly for various fan media groups, and is a popular speaker at Rangers fan events. Ian Stewart is an established author who has penned biographies on legendary manager Bill Struth and captain Jock Shaw. Both authors are experts on Rangers FC history.
