{"product_id":"9781785313899","title":"Thou Shalt Not Pass: The Alistair Robertson Story","description":"A legend at West Bromwich Albion and icon at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Alistair Robertson is a rare footballer who can walk tall either side of a bitter Black Country divide. The tough-tackling Scot spent 18 years at Albion, gaining promotion under Johnny Giles and becoming a rock during the club's heyday from the mid-1970s alongside skipper John Wile. Ultimately Ron Atkinson's entertainers fell short although not before they had blazed a trail at home and abroad and the likes of Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Bryan Robson had thrilled a nation. He experienced early struggles under Don Howe and other managers earned his ire. But that was nothing to a dislike of Ron Saunders who forced him out of the club in tears. Robertson recovered to lead an ailing Wolves to two league titles and a Wembley victory in a team spearheaded by Steve Bull's goals. Then there's the drinking culture that united players but almost cost him his life at the height of his fame.","brand":"Pitch Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150135935216,"sku":"9781785313899","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785313899_p0.jpg?v=1769892462","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785313899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
