Derek Dougan by David Harrison and Steve Gordos, Know the Score, 2008. ISBN978-1-848185-02-9
A well-researched biography of Derek Dougan who played for Wolves and a number of other clubs and for Northern Ireland. The book presents the man honestly with his positive achievements and his flaws.
He was ahead of his time in getting a kit sponsor at Kettering Town and in other ways. As chairman of the Professional Footballers Association, he played a large part in securing freedom of contract for players.
The book presents Derek Dougan as a flawed genius but a very popular one.
