{"product_id":"berto-the-bluenose","title":"Berto The Bluenose","description":"Berto the Bluenose tells the surreal story of how a World Cup-winner bound for Barcelona instead found himself at winless Birmingham City after a marriage scandal that rocked Argentina. In the summer of 1978, Alberto Tarantini had the world at his feet. He had won the World Cup in his home city, he was married to beautiful model and TV star Pata Villanueva (they were the ‘Posh and Becks’ of Buenos Aires), and he had just signed for Barcelona. But by October, he was playing for a Birmingham City side who were bottom of the First Division and without a win all season. Seven chaotic months later … he was gone. But not before knocking out a Manchester United player and storming into the St Andrew’s terraces to confront the fans who abused him. Blending human drama with football history, Berto the Bluenose uncovers a tale that is farcical, anarchic, humorous and, above all, heartfelt.","brand":"Pitch Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58565088575823,"sku":"9781836805489","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/berto-the-bluenose","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
