The Original 59er Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Had a few dealings with AM throughout the years, always found him straightforward and relatively easy to deal with. Does a lot of charity work behind the scenes. No complaints from this department if he wants to train, lend a hand, get fit, whatever with Saints.

windae cleaner Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Whenever I meet him he was always pretty nice. I can remember meeting him in the Fox and hounds the day they went out of business. He bought my mate and I a drink, and talked about the Champions league game that was on that night. Ally bought you a drink you're honored One of the biggest tightwads going Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windae cleaner Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 IIRC Ally McCoist trained as a schoolboy at Love St under Fergie but was not considered good/tall enough. Played as a midfielder Fergie said he was one of four he brought over from East Kilbride in his car Who were the other 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insaintee Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've virtually never heard a bad word about him as a man if you can sepatate him from the footballer or even yon crowd he played for and managed. And he was a good striker. I remember when Jim Goodwin was a first rate chunt and he managed to metamorphasise into a saint. Rabbie Burns wrote a poem about it. It's called good PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickMcD Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 You think Goodwin was a wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie? Hell no! Has he ever shirked a tackle? Like a few of us on here, I always has worries about Jim when he went over the top and got ordered off or banned for too many bookings. But he's good for us. Haste ye back, Jim.

Lord Pityme Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Standard practice in Shull's I think in Shull's he drives them to police station voluntarily and asks the polis to check if they have the money for the fare!

Barney63 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 For those too young to remember he was on our books when we were boys and is a not-that-secret-really buddie and in fact only a pretend bluenose.
