Description
The latest guest on the Sports Book Podcast is IAN HERBERT (The Independent) who is writing about one of the unsung managers in English football. Bob Paisley won 3 European Cups and had a greater win-rate in terms of trophies per season than even Sir Alex Ferguson. And yet he is overshadowed - even at his own club - by characters who command the spotlight. Ian explores how Paisley showed you could win without being the loudest person in the room. His book is called QUIET GENIUS. Hit subscribe to get the latest episode automatically on your phone and follow us on Twitter @SportsBookPod
