Joe Jordan

When your nickname is Jaws, your reputation goes before you. Joe Jordan struck fear into opposing defenders with his full-blooded approach to football. Graduating with flying colours from the school of hard knocks at Elland Road in the 1970s, where he won a league title, Joe starred for Manchester United, before leaving a tangible legacy with Italian giants AC Milan.

However, his performances and goals for Scotland on the biggest of stages are what have cemented him as an icon of the game. The only Scottish player to have scored in three World Cups, Joe sits comfortably among the elite of the game. He reveals how he made the most of the ability he had to forge a top-class career in the game, and how the grounding he got in the intense Leeds dressing room would help shape the career of future footballing greats such as Franco Baresi and Mauro Tassotti.

Joe also reflects on the lifelong friendship he made with the late, great Gordon McQueen, and how McQueen’s death from dementia has made him reflect on a career heading footballs.

Featuring contributions from Fabio Capello, Mauro Tassotti, John Giles, Hayley McQueen and Graham Hunter.
