He talks about the thrills and spills of this relentlessly demanding job and takes us behind the scenes,into the dressing room with its tensions,decisions and celebrations.Anyone who has ever wanted to know what it's like to manage their country can,here,share the tears,sweat and blood as Craig Brown takes us on a journey from his Ayrshire roots to the highest peaks of professional football.
