Description

First and Last is the amazing story of Jackie Plenderleith, the only surviving player from the first British side to compete in the European Cup. The ex-Scotland star describes what it was like in 1955 for a 17-year-old coal miner's son to witness the awkward birth of the global phenomenon now known as the Champions League.
