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.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

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  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'.
