It took a world war to bring Raich Carter and Peter Doherty together at Derby County. First as guests through RAF postings. Then, all too briefly, signed as the aces of a Cup-winning pack. Their perfect partnership forms the heart of this double biography, spanning their whole football careers. From early adversity sprang two of the most gifted forwards of the 20th century, League champions as well as FA Cup winners, capped by their countries either side of the Second World War. They both enjoyed further success as managers of promoted club teams, and Doherty masterminded Northern Irelands memorable adventure in the 1958 World Cup.
