Few people have made such an impact on so many areas of football, in so many parts of the world, as Gordon Jago. Jago - a tall, thoughtful centre-half with Charlton Athletic - made his biggest impression as a manager. In England, he created the foundation for the greatest Queens Park Rangers side in history - leading to speculation linking him with the national job - before transforming the identity of one of the country' s most notorious clubs, Millwall. Jago resigned from the Den out of principle after a controversial episode of BBC TV' s Panorama and moved to the US. He spent time in Florida before settling in Texas. From there, he was engaged in the political side of the North American game and was involved in discussions for America' s hosting of the 1994 World Cup and the creation of the MLS. After retiring from coaching, Jago remained heavily involved with the Dallas Cup - a key part of the cultural heritage of the North American game - and was rewarded for his services to youth football with an MBE in 2006.
Gordon Jago MBE is a true footballing pioneer. His spells in charge at QPR and Millwall in the 1970s are remembered by supporters as the best of times. After moving to the US where he coached in the NASL, Gordon settled in Dallas and helped to establish the Dallas Cup as one of the premier international youth competitions. Jago has teamed up with renowned football author Wayne Barton to write his autobiography.
