My pal paid £300 at an auction for a Scotland top worn by big GGGGGGGGG ordon McQueen
Shitty dig there,
met him once as a junior at an open competition, it was his local golf club,
he gave a lot of his time to talk to all the juniors, we had no clue who he was until someone twigged he wasn't the weirdo we thought, but the guy that at the time was on Sportscene/Scotsport every week
Sometimes we laugh at guys on TV, but the big man played against the best and a career with over 300 games for Leeds and Man Utd, is nout to be sniffed at. My old bhoy says he was a modern day player 40 years ago..... if your reading big man, sorry for chiming you with Rolf Harris songs
Another funny was last year, met a local guy who needed my expertise in his late 50's/early 60's, remembered him vaguely as a guy that played at several provincial clubs in Scotland,
my opening gambit was to apologise for the pelters i gave him over the years, he asked what was my team that he played for..... 'you didn't play for my team, you were just shite at just about every club in Scotland from recollection.. Didnt realise he had played 6 years for Chelsea and captained them for 4. So there we have in 2 guys Man Utd, Chelsea and Leeds... 600 games between them and theres this wee fanny thinking nothing of them.... changed days indeed..... Scots were at every big club in those days
Turns out 2nd guy, his boyhood dream was to play int he hoops and he spoke to 2 different managers interested in signing him......but the biscuit tin wouldnt open far enough..... we got Steve McCahill second time instead and he plied my dad with tickets for every big game for 3 years......my dad was his boss when he was working in his factory..i/m sure my dad had a stat, he got me more tickets in a week than games he played in 3 years....
This place can send you off on a tangent.... fuck all to do with the green and the Jack D
Oh pop quiz, who was guy no 2...Winter ?
