Description

The 1967 World Club Championship decider between Celtic and Racing Club of Buenos Aires was one of the most violent and controversial matches of all time.

Three Celtic players and two from Racing Club were sent off in total.

The game descended into farce, with the Uruguayan police forced to take to the pitch with batons to separate brawling players.

Pictures released of the match met with shock worldwide, but while an embarrassed Jock Stein fined his players, those from Racing Club were rewarded with a new car each!

This book tells the story of a real clash of two very different footballing cultures.
