Knew his dad in my early working days - I think he played a bit himself in his younger days?. Big Celtic man but an even bigger football fan, he just lived and breathed the game. Was really into Italian football and the way they defended so I'm guessing he was a defender just like his boy. He was really into the catenaccio system adopted by Herrero at Inter and on a training course where everybody had to give a 20 minute talk on a subject of their own choosing he was still going after 30 minutes on the variations of the catenaccio system and the beauty of playing with a libero!! Not surprised his boy ended up in the beautiful game.

Ah - that might have just been my wishful thinking!

He was at Tranmere for a few seasons and was a quality player

Went onto manage Fleetwoof I think?

Doesn't suffer fools - is clearly the boss and recognises a quality player

Has plenty of good contact in englandshire

Would love him as manager

His parents stayed across the road from me in Elderslie

As a boy never played for any local teams played for Glasgow teams

Played all his career down in England

I cannot see him up here managing anyone unless Celtic come calling

I saw him playing and scoring for Tranmere against Pompey in a 1-1 draw at Prenton Park a few years back (late nineties i think), Looked like a decent player but i probably only remembered him because he came from Paisley,
