Didn’t Jim McCalliog play for Man Utd at some point? Before we signed him? Really not certain about that one, though.

He must be the only player we have signed direct from Man U? In recent times anyway? Oh hang on… there was a more recent failure?

I think Alex Ferguson managed both of us but I might be wrong. Did he manage them? Or am I confusing him with another drunk Scottish guy.

Big Burley sort of chap, @tokyo-saint

Carried an old satchel with him wherever he went if memory serves.

Paul Sturrock didn’t manage Man U dumb beltch!
