Graham Roberts is the new manager of Pakistan.
As far as i know he's a dodgy cunt and racist too.
Old story :
Rangers legend Graham Roberts has been accused of doing a runner with 400 copies of his own book.
The Ibrox hero owes around £4800 to publishers for a consignment of his life story, Hard As Nails.
Edinburgh-based firm Black and White Publishing handed a delivery of the £17.99 autobiography to Roberts last year.
But the former Spurs star and Clyde boss hasn't coughed up for the hardback shipment despite numerous requests.
Roberts is a regular after-dinner speaker and Black and White gave him cheap copies of the book so he could promote it by selling it at events.
Now the fed-up firm have decided to freeze his royalties in a bid to claw back the cash.
A source said: "The whole publishing deal has turned very sour. Roberts hasn't got back in touch and has offered no explanation for withholding payment.
"This is the first time in Black and White's history that they've been sti ed like this - and many of their books have been about some of the worst criminals in Scotland."
Black and White have published several books by criminal Paul Ferris and other true-crime publications, including the life stories of gangsters Walter Norval and Arthur Thompson.
The firm refused to comment on the Roberts row.
Roberts, 50, has left a trail of debt which has seen creditors attempt to seize profi ts from his book.
He is being sued for £3000 in fees by McPhee and Partner Solicitors, the law firm which won him a £32,000 unfair dismissal payout when he was red as Clyde boss.
Roberts was sacked in 2007 for allegedly making racist remarks.
The scandal was just one of the problems Roberts has faced. He talks in his book about family bust-ups over cash, and how former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson felt so sorry for him that he gave him the keys to a club car. Roberts was driving an old Vauxhall Vectra when Ferguson gave him his Honda CRV.
Roberts refused to comment last night.
