Now on general sale

Don Masson was the toast of Scotland in 1978 when his penalty clinched a World Cup place in Argentina but missing from the spot against Peru sentenced him to spend the rest of his life apologising.

‘Still Saying Sorry’ is the story of not just a perfectionist, driven by a fierce desire to make the best of his talents, but also a man who overcame personal demons to work his way up from the land of no-hopers.

Notts County were 91st in the Football League when he joined them. Twelve years later he made history by becoming the first player to captain the same club from the Fourth Division to the First. He went on to star at Queen’s Park Rangers in what many say, was the best team that didn’t win the Championship.

It’s a real claim to fame that he captained Notts County from the Fourth Division right through to the First.
