Ben Ramage follows Bone from Partick Thistle and that famous 1971 League Cup triumph over Celtic through spells with Norwich City, Sheffield United, Celtic, Arbroath, St Mirren, Toronto Blizzard, Hong Kong Rangers and Hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBone also represented Scotland, scoring in a World Cup qualifier against Denmark, before building a wide-ranging career in coaching and management. His influence reached clubs including Arbroath, Airdrieonians and St Mirren, while his work overseas took him to Zambia and South Africa. At Power Dynamos he was part of a landmark African Cup Winners’ Cup success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhat gives this football biography its real character is the testimony of people who knew Bone’s game and personality. Alan Rough, Billy Stark, John Robertson, Joe Harper, Alex Smith and Dick Campbell describe a fiercely competitive centre-forward with sharp movement, courage, football intelligence and an ability to raise standards in those around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFor supporters of Scottish football, Norwich City, Hearts, St Mirren, Partick Thistle and Arbroath, Bone Idol opens a window onto several distinctive eras of the game. It should also appeal to football-history readers, biography collectors and anyone fascinated by the players, coaches and managers whose influence was often greater than their fame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(218, 32, 42);\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eROYAL MAIL TRACKED 48\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/luath.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eLuath Press Ltd\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/luath.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eView More Books from the Publisher\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: 30 August 2026\u003cbr\u003e\nPrice: £19.99\u003cbr\u003e\nHardback: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN-13: 978-1804253533\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 23 x 16 x 2 (cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED AUGUST 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57368178721148,"sku":"45MAIL","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/2756\/files\/BONE-IDOL.png?v=1788064629","url":"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/products\/bone-idol-jimmy-bone","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
