About this book:

Touching the Heights gives us a look into the thirteen Scottish sportspeople who have inspired Archie Macpherson in his fifty years of broadcasting. He invites the reader to join him around a fantasy dinner table as he explores what makes all of these people special in their chosen sport and why he became so fixated on their careers.

Tommy Docherty · Jackie Paterson · Jim Baxter · Eric Brown · Jimmy Johnstone · Sandra Whittaker · Dr Richard Budgett · Ally McLeod · Jock Stein · Sir Alex Ferguson · Bill McLaren · Jim Mclean · Graeme Souness

His thirteen ‘guests’ range from a boy who would acquire a new pair of shoes by stealing them from the local baths, to a distinguished medical scientist at the centre of the transgender altercations in sport. The story menu is served up a la carte. From football, boxing, athletics, golf and rugby, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Macpherson’s decades-long history as a commentator lends a unique and fascinating insight into the changing landscape of Scottish sporting history, which is bound to make this a compelling read for anyone with even the most casual level of interest in the subject.
