i've been reading the wikipedia page on sturrock and come across some interesting bits of trivia (citation needed, obv). stop me if you've heard these already...
he was a non-playing member of the scottish "espana 82" world cup squad, and played twice for scotland in "mexico 86".
further to this, he scored 3 international goals in 20 apperances.
his middle name is "whitehead".
he will be 51 on october 10th.
he scored over 100 goals for dundee united in a 15 year, one-club career.
he is joint holder of the record for most goals in a scottish premier league fixture, with 5 goals (marco negri, kenny miller and kris boyd have also achieved this feat).
he won the scottish football writers' association player of the year award in 1982. the winner the following year was charlie nicholas.
he is, apparently, one of the most qualified football coaches in europe, and assessed mourinho earlier in his career.
feel free to correct any of these if you know for a fact that they are bollocks.

.
his middle name is "whitehead".
. Quite alot of scottish families use surnames as middle names rather than the english habit of having christian names as middle names. I guess it's a way of keeping the mother's family surname alive. That said my parents didn't bother giving me a middle name at all. I think I might add "bullzeye" by deed poll |

Derek in my case. :| |
