Tales from the Touchline
Tales from the Touchline: Football Memories of the Man with the Flag is the story of a football fan and his experiences as a referee. He moved home from Dundee to Elgin in 1979 and began his refereeing journey, which took him from amateur levels to the Scottish Football Association's Senior List. A fan of Dundee United for many years, John Gunn's playing career was virtually non-existent, being limited to schoolboy level.
After hanging up his whistle, John returned to the stands as a supporter of Dundee United and his contacts within the game provided him with even more stories to tell, many regarding his own team's fortunes - including how Eddie Thompson took over from legendary ex-manager Jim McLean. Ten seasons at the very top of Scottish football saw John encounter the game's real characters, plenty of daft decisions and a whole raft of humorous incidents. Tales from the Touchline
