Bobby Williamson sits down with Peter Martin and Tam McManus, alongside his old right-hand man Jerry McCabe, to tell his story: from Easterhouse to Rangers, the Clydebank goals, the cup-winning Kilmarnock team, his years at Hibs, and an extraordinary second life managing in Uganda and Kenya. He also speaks openly and with typical humour about beating cancer.

It is funny, warm and completely honest: the signing that nearly didn't happen, the dressing-room wind-ups, Ian Durrant the best signing he ever made, the Hibs kids he brought through, learning from Graeme Souness, and how he became the most successful coach in central-east Africa with four CECAFA titles. All tied to the new book, The Bobby Williamson Story, put together by Lauren Gardner.
