Eye of the Tiger is the story of one of the most legendary figures in Glasgow Rangers' rich history, a man who epitomised what it meant to be a Ranger. Jock Shaw was a no-nonsense full-back whose fierce, uncompromising tackling earned him the nickname ' Tiger' from club supporters. He joined the Gers from Airdrie in 1938 for GBP2,000 and was a key figure in the Ibrox defence in the immediate post-war years. That defence was dubbed the ' Iron Curtain' because it seemed as unyielding as the barrier that divided Europe at the time. The book charts Jock' s extraordinary journey from the coal pit at Bedlay (Annathill) to becoming Rangers' first treble-winning captain. His signing for Rangers started a remarkable association with the club, which lasted over 40 years and saw him serve as team captain, third-team coach and groundsman. He also captained Scotland and shared the distinction of beating England with his brother David. Ian Stewart worked with Tiger Shaw' s family to bring you the inside track on his life and career.
Ian Stewart has worked with Tiger Shaw' s family to write his life story. Ian has written two other books: My Helicopter Sunday and Mr Struth: The Boss with David Mason. He is a civil servant, married to Yvonne, and they live in Glenboig in North Lanarkshire with their youngest daughter, Iona. He is a proud grandpa to John, Andrew and Ollie.
