FORMER Saints boss Paul Sturrock is to appear at the Plymouth Literature Festival at the end of this month.

The most successful Plymouth Argyle manager in the club's history has taken up an invite to appear in his new role as an acclaimed author on Saturday, October 29.

Sturrock, whose autobiography 'Luggy', covered his extremely successful playing career with Dundee United and World Cup campaigns with Scotland, as well as shining a light on his remarkable two stints in charge of Argyle.

Sturrock was appointed Saints boss in March 2004, following the resignation of Gordon Strachan. But he only lasted 13 league games before leaving by mutual consent two games into the 2004/05 campaign.

Sturrock, who turned 60 earlier this month, said: "I enjoyed the experience of putting my thoughts and remembrances together in my book and fans of all the clubs I've been associated with, have told me they have enjoyed reading it.

"However, as I see it, the common theme coming from all the supporters whether at Dundee United, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton and especially at Argyle is that they want more of my memories."
