His Name is McNamara

Now published for the first time, ‘His Name is McNamara’ is the riveting story of Jackie’s success and survival: from the glorious trophy-laden decade at Celtic including his time as club captain and his international caps to his dramatic departure in ’05 and subsequent spells with Wolves, Aberdeen, Falkirk and Partick Thistle. His book tells all - including his move into management - firstly with Thistle, then Dundee United before his time with York City.

Page after page, Jackie pulls no punches - giving us the inside track on a glittering career as well as the battling qualities needed to succeed at the highest level of the game. And it was on those qualities that he drew when most needed ... when his life was threatened by a brain aneurysm in early 2020.

More than a year on, he’s telling his story.
