In 1967 Celtic manager Jock Stein stepped from the tunnel of Lisbon's Estadio Nacional and took up a position pitch-side as his team of home-grown players ran out to face the might of Inter Milan, the charismatic superstars of Italian football, in the European Cup final. Celtic were a team forged in Stein's own image, steeled with a relentless industry and integrity by their inspirational manager whose character had, in turn, been honed by the horrors of the deep dark of the Lanarkshire coalfields. Martin Greig and Charles McGarry's extraordinary novel delves to the very heart of that incredible season, telling the story through the eyes of Stein - as he plots and plans and drags his team to the pinnacle of European club football - and those of Tim, an idealistic young fan from the south side of Glasgow, whose dreams of life beyond the decaying slums of the Gorbals are inextricably tied to those of his heroes. The Road to Lisbon is a novel of hopes and dreams, of self-discovery and triumph over adversity ...and of an unerring love with an institution that represents so much more than just a football club.

Join ‘the team on the bus’ for a wild pilgrimage through Europe to the legendary 1967 European Cup Final! In 1967, one football team surpassed the odds and took on the mighty Inter Milan in a match that brought fans from all over the world. On the One Road to Lisbon is their story, an epic pilgrimage in a twelve-seater VW bus that brims with misadventures, starting in Dover, roaming through Spain and Portugal, before finally reaching journey’s end and the thrilling final. The story centres on the author’s own father and uncles, and as such is very much part road-story, part-football. While fans will appreciate the exhilarating atmosphere of the matches, the book is not just for the football aficionado. Humour and moments of suspense are woven through every episode as the reader begins to root for both the Celtics and the ‘team on the bus’. A cast of hilarious and defined characters joins the family, from the sporting legend to the everyman. The Celtic boss ‘The Big Man’ and the prince of full backs share the page with wee Tommy who only got to go once he’d got his giro, the Milky Bar Kid who was picked up on the cross-roads outside Burgos and the Glasgow Corporation uniform-wearing bus conductor who didn’t even tell his wife he was going. This is a story for the ages and includes you as an eager teammate on the one road to Lisbon.

A huge international bestseller, with over 2 million copies sold worldwide, Night Train to Lisbon is an utterly compelling novel about one man's escape from a humdrum life in search of passion and spontaneity. Night Train to Lisbon tells the story of mild-mannered, middle-aged Classics scholar Raimund Gregorius. When, one afternoon, he walks out of his class while in the middle of giving a lesson, his uncharacteristic impulsiveness surprises him as much as his students. This break from his usually predictable routine is driven by two chance encounters that morning on his way to work - the first with a mysterious Portuguese woman, and the second with a book discovered in a forgotten corner of an old bookshop, the journal of an enigmatic Portuguese aristocrat. With the book as his talisman, Mundus finds himself boarding the night train to Lisbon on a journey to find out more about its author, Amadeu del Prado - who was this man whose words both haunt and compel him, seeming somehow clairvoyant? His investigations lead him all over the city, and bring him into contact with those who were entangled in Prado's life. Gradually, he makes unexpected friends and the picture of an extraordinary man emerges: a difficult, brilliant, charismatic man, a doctor and a poet, and a rebel against Salazar's dictatorship. And as Prado's story comes to light so, too, Gregorius himself begins his life anew. Hurtling through the dark, Night Train to Lisbon is a rich tale, wonderful told, propelled both by the mystery at its heart and its evocative subject.
