Phil made an amazing total of 573 appearances for the Bluebirds in all competitions between 1972 and 1985 – a record that is unlikely ever to be broken.
Written in conjunction with local author James Leighton, ‘ Mr Cardiff City ’ tells the remarkable story of Phil’s football career including his early days as an apprentice under Jimmy Scoular, the promotions and relegations he experienced with the club during the Seventies and Eighties, and his sad departure in March 1985 following his release by Alan Durban.
Packed with amusing anecdotes and interesting stories, the book also provides details of Phil’s international career with Wales , which included a winning debut in Iran and scoring a goal against England at Ninian Park .
