Scott-Leeds Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Haven’t seen it yet, Will give it a watch tonight however.Can’t believe how fresh in the mind having him at Saints is , yet it’s been so long.I genuinely don’t mind being old (52) but I definitely miss growing up in Paisley in the 70s/80s and getting to every saints game home and away ( Rosebud or Knox St buses ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hasn't, it's a shame, because his gripe was with the chairman, not with the players and supporters, who idolised him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the trailer on prime and it appeared to jump from his playing days to managing Aberdeen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something along the lines of "I had been part time at St Mirren for three and a half years by then" when talking about going to Aberdeen.

I wonder how much that investment each year returned in prize money both nationally and in Europe. Then there would be the return from shirt sales etc globally as a result of the extra visibility which comes from being at the top of the English game for so long. It must be over £1bn across his career I'd imagine. Some return on investment right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
