About the Book

Exclusively serialised in the Scunthorpe Telegraph - with extensive archival research and exclusive interviews with ex-Iron managers and players from seven different decades - Max Bell has put together the perfect book for all football fans.

Each Scunthorpe United 20 Legends chapter focuses on a different legend from the club's 120 year-plus history and their accomplishments in the beautiful game. Their stories are brought to life in their own words; with a little help from the fans, journalists, teammates, and managers they shared along the way.

Ex-Premier League manager Brian Laws has provided an exclusive foreword to the book, and Graham Alexander, who boasts the best win ratio of any Scunthorpe manager since the 1950's, talks publicly for the first time about his controversial 2018 sacking by the club.

The people in the heart of the action have lifted the lid on what really happened like never before!

If that wasn't enough; you can also enjoy never-read-before stories about prank-calling title rivals, FA Cup finals, car crashes, Brian Clough, Princess Diana, attempted match-fixing, broken legs, dressing room tapping up, promotion parties gone wrong, and even winning the European Cup.
