His quiff and Billy Fury looks made him identifiable to that new phenomenon: the teenager. He was literally one of the first poster-boys of the game, his face adorning many a bedroom wall. He had a rebel streak, wore his shorts shockingly short compared to the old guard, styled his hair as opposed to slicking it down with Brylcreem. Like a Beckham of his day, his name filled column inches and his \"golden-boy\" footballing career fuelled speculation and sold newspapers. His record transfer fee of  45,000 in 1958 brought him under an intense spotlight, and added pressure to a star who never quite lived up to the hype.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as well as the stardom and glamour, tragedy is woven into the life of Albert Quixall, from both a personal and professional viewpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iain McCartney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915045495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915045492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 1889 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.33d","brand":"Iain McCartney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520120140031,"sku":"9781915045492","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_263bd0b5-4a42-4c14-bee8-0b00a6a91ad6.jpg?v=1778740867","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/albert-quixall-iain-mccartney-9781915045492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
