McDermott was added to the distinguished list of recipients in recognition of his record-breaking career at Grimsby Town. He holds the club's all-time appearance record, having played an incredible 754 games overall for the Mariners and is one of only 17 players in the history of English football to play more than 600 Football League matches for a single club. Now McDermott is lifting the lid for the first time on the career that made him one of the most respected defenders in the Football League for two decades and secured him legendary status among the fans at Blundell Park. He gives a humorous and revealing insight into what went on behind the scenes as the Mariners marched to back-to-back promotions to the second tier of English football and also muses on the pitfalls of staying loyal to a single club. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 McDermott, John,|d1969- 650 0 Soccer players|zEngland|zGrimsby|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Sports.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Ashberry, Simon,|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcDermott, John, 1969-|tJohn McDermott. |dStroud : The History Press, 2013.|z9780752492643 (pbk.) :|w(Uk)016385282 914 frd00011687
