Johnny Hubbard was a tricky little winger and a huge Rangers star, one of the last surviving members the great 50s side. Known as "The Penalty King" in recognition of his record 65 goals from 68 spot kicks, one of his goals was described by Sir Alex Ferguson as "easily the best I've ever seen!" Aged just 18, he swapped the sunshine of Pretoria for the grey streets of Glasgow, leaving behind the flames of apartheid for a land where another chasm ran deep through society--religious bigotry. Hubbard's story provides an insight into life through a golden era in Rangers' history, and he also recalls his time with Bury when he was almost drawn into the world of match-fixing. When Johnny gave up the game in 1964, he turned to community service and was rewarded for his good work with an Honorary MBE.

The classification of lymphomas is a real headache: lymphomas often go by different names in different publications, and while some lymphoma categories are easy to recognise, others are disturbingly prone to subjective variability. Two standard classifications, one used predominantly in the US, the other in Europe, have been used and adapted over many years. A third, the REAL Classification, was published in 1993. It built on previous classifications and defines diseases by: morphology; immunology and genetics; clinical presentation and course; or normal counterpart in the immune system.The REAL Classification has won many devotees around the world. It is complex, however, and describes a much larger number of disease entities than many care to carry around in their head, so this book summarises the classification systems in a format that can fit into their pockets.
