The Scottish guy on Soccer Saturday that used to root for Arsenal. He always said "you don't save those"

Bit of a closet, imo.

McKlintock got sacked for mentioning an Agatha Christie whodunnit?

When Jacques Santini quit Tottenham after a matter of months, McClintock claimed the situation at Spurs was "like Ten Little Niggers"

I have literally no idea what this means

'Ten Little Niggers' is a book by Agatha Christie. People were getting bumped off without any apparent motive or opportunity.

The Scottish guy on Soccer Saturday that used to root for Arsenal.

doh

In October 1964, he was signed by Arsenal and went straight into the first team. McLintock spent the next nine seasons with the Gunners, moving from midfield to centre half. He was a first-choice player throughout, and became the club's captain in 1967, and would go on to skipper the club during their period of success under Bertie Mee. Firstly, he reached another two League Cup finals (losing both, in 1968 and 1969), and became so disheartened he handed in a transfer request in 1969. Arsenal manager Bertie Mee managed to persuade him to stay, and McLintock went on to win three major trophies in the space of two years.

Firstly, McLintock led Arsenal to a Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final win in 1969–70, beating Anderlecht 4–3 on aggregate. The following year, he lifted the club's first League and FA Cup Double in 1970–71; he also won the 1971 Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award, and having only played once for Scotland since 1964, earned a recall to the Scotland side in 1970, winning a further four caps to bring his total to nine.[1]

McLintock led Arsenal to their sixth Wembley final in 1972 (which they lost to Leeds), and second place in the First Division following year, before being sold to QPR in June 1973. In total, he had played 403 matches for Arsenal, scoring 32 goals.
