Kenny burns

Was a better system in them days no matter how much money they pump into youth academies nowadays. Just about every school in Scotland had scouts aka pe teachers who did the job, they picked the cream of the crop and most had connections to senior teams north and south of the border. There was a teachers strike in the early to mid seventies after that the work they did was curtailed. And the answer to your question is in some ways we liked to pick lads from better schools so our choices were in a way limited. None was a better example than Alex MacDonald Doddie who wasnt wanted by us in his early days only to be signed later from st Johnstone for £50k, could’ve saved us a lot of money in the long run if we’d signed him the first time, the rest as they say is history.

McQueen used to attend the Rangers player of the years get togethers for supporters clubs late 80s/90s, defo a bear. Just had a flashback when Dale Gordon turned up to one and he had his own security with him😂

Burns was a mad man, hard as nails, took no shit, when men were men they gave it an took it

Watching a thing on BT sport in this hotel bar just now about the great forest team under clough.  They signed a defender kenny burns who played for us as a youth who won two European cups kenny burns.  How did we let a double European cup winner slip away and was he one of us aswell?

Love that documentary, loads of anecdotes to ponder over, the genius that was Clough, how he never got the England job is mind boggling, there is the ending with MON when Cannavaro and Viera think he wasn't even a footballer and he has two European cup winners medals to their none between them... still a bastard and despise him but put the fancy dans in their place
