Reviews
This is a pleasingly old school autobiography. While many footballers lives espouse hot takes or settle scores, Hutchison and his collaborator, first time author, Kevin Shannon, opt for old style story telling. The reader is taken through a career covering more than a thousand games including interesting sabbaticals in Seattle and Hong Kong. The tone is conversational, like a fireside chat with a kindly grandfather who just happens to have been a top class footballer. and peppering the narrative are a series of anecdotes that feel honed by a series of sportsman's dinners... Hutchison comes across as a man obsessed with the rhythms and rituals of the game and this book is a refreshingly uncynical account of a football life well lived.
Synopsis
The story of how a young boy's impossible dream turned into a magical reality through grit, sweat and an unshakable belief in his own ability. Tommy Hutchison overcame poverty and the frailties of his own body to play in the World Cup and enjoy a career of 1,000 first-class games spanning four amazing decades., Mr Magic: The Autobiography of Tommy Hutchison is the story of how one small boy's near impossible dream became a reality. Growing up in poverty in the austere 1950s Fife coalfield, Tommy Hutchison had an unshakable belief that one day he would wear the dark blue shirt of Scotland. To an outsider it seemed an improbable ambition. Too weak to cross a ball from the byline to the goal area, the teenage Hutchison was overlooked by his teachers and never made the school football team. Through sheer determination, an indomitable spirit and hour upon hour of lonely practice, the adolescent Tommy was finally noticed by his local team, and his journey to Hampden and World Cup glory began. Tommy's football genius ultimately took him all over the world to play with and against some of the greatest footballers of the 1970s and 80s in a career spanning four amazing decades. Mr Magic is the funny yet inspiring story of how the seemingly unattainable can be achieved by unwavering, resolute self-belief., The story of how one small boy's near impossible dream became a reality.
