Half a century ago, Bobby Johnstone became the first player to score in consecutive F.A. Cup finals at Wembley. He was also part of the Hibs 'Famous Five' front line. Yet Bobby Johnstone did not earn his fortune. This is his story.

Born at the end of the 1920's, at Selkirk, in the Scottish borders, his early life was tough. After the war, Bobby's began his football career with Selkirk F.C., but the mighty Hibernian soon noticed.

Hibs had not won a major trophy for over forty years, but they assembled the all-international forward line of Smith, Johnstone, Reilly, Turnbull and Ormond, known as the "Famous Five", and their golden age began.

He went on to play for Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. He left a rich sporting legacy; his were the days of the heavy leather football, the heaving terraces, and the true unpredictability of the outcome.

The book tells Bobby's footballing story, from his time as a player for Selkirk, through his fabulous career, and onto retirement, illustrated through interviews with those who played alongside Bobby at every stage of his career.

About the Author

John Leigh is a Manchester City fan and Bobby Johnstone was his hero. This is his first book.

Inexpensive, not cheap, with useful added features

Functioning luminosity (duration to be tested) of hands (not seconds) and 5-minute tics d. Day/date display e. Clear setting instructions in english f. Sweep second hand 2. Packaging was not fancy, but effective; watch arrived in perfect shape with no visible defects: Flat cardboard box in cardboard sleeve with embossed logo, fitted foam box liner, plactic film around watch, protective plactic discs on crystal and stainless back. 3.

Second hand alignment is off by a quarter of a second from second marks b. Black case is excessively shiny; probably is not ion-coated and finish may not be very durable, but was preferable to me over the gold, which I am sure will mar easily c. Watch has a snap-on (not screw-on) back and minimal water resistance Bottom line, I seem to have received exactly what was offered, which is a lot for around $30

The watch Is beautiful, keeps time & date well and seems to be made of quality materials
Color: A1 - Blue / Brown
First off I have not had a watch in 20 years since I use my phone for the date and time. I decided to try using one again and love not having to retrieve my phone to check the time. The watch is beautiful and I love the look of the gold with the blue face and brown band. It works great and appears to be of the same quality as the Seiko watches that I use to own. I tested the face and tried to scratch a small area with a sharp object. I would not scratch so it is either glass or a crystal. the metal seems to be of good quality and the band is comfortable and feels like leather. Overall I am happy with it and will update this review if the situation changes.

Nice looking watch with day and date
Color: A5 - Black
This watch has a nice black face and looks like it is high quality considering the price. I guess time will tell how durable it is. The only thing I am not as pleased about is the band which is stiff and is not as comfortable as another watch that has a leather band.
