Winning Through: Reprint

Brian Irvine

In “Winning Through”, Brian Irvine tells the truth about his life as a footballer. From family life in Airdrie we follow him as he realises his boyhood dreams. He becomes an international player with Aberdeen and Scotland. But he has to cope with bad times, and worse – being told he has a serious and possibly fatal illness. Finally he has to come to terms with the end of a long playing career. Brian’s Christian faith and strong family ties help him to cope, help him to ‘win through’.

Brian Irvine

Brian Irvine was a professional footballer with Falkirk, Aberdeen, Dundee and Ross County. He represented Scotland nine times before illness interrupted his career. When he retired from playing he became Football Development Officer with Ross County, a job that includes community work in schools and prison. He can often be heard giving his expert comment on radio.
