Title: Nice work if ...

......you can get it.

    Luggy got 200K pay off from the Wendys, then a four year contract with us about a week later.

    I feel a slight irony that the straw that caused Luggy's exit from Wednesday was a 4-0 drubbing by a Cureton inspired ColU.....at least the little shit did something for us.

 PS Sturrock was a seriously good player.....in a time when teh Sweaties still produced a lot of talent, even if the national team never got past the first round of a WC.

Aye, I remember Dundee United being a very decent side in the early 80's when he was thier main man. Them and Aberdeen actually provided a bit of competition for the Old Firm.

 They won the league in 82/83, Luggy was their star man......probably the last time neither Auld Firm side won it.

  Was it Jim McLean managing...he always seemed a hard bastard...in that Scottish way.

Yep, Jim Mclean was their for years and years - and I think he was a bit of a bastard by all accounts. Some bloke called Ferguson was in charge of Aberdeen (not sure what happened to him, I must look it up).

I just remembered the name of Dundee United's goalkeeper - Hamish McAlpine - You couldn't make it up! I seem to remember he used to be their penalty taker as well.

Ace 8)  I loved those Panini albums. I'm sure I remember that very sticker (You used to remember every single sticker in the collection - or at least I did) Is that one from 1978?

In the Dec '06 edition of 442, there is an interview with Andy Caton, and to top it off 'a day in the life with SSP'.

Worth £3.80 of anybody's money  :fu:
