Yip, sure there was an article years ago, where he got into alot of gambling debt, borrowed money off his neighbour/good friend and never paid him back... His wife dying sent him over the edge unfortunately Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good player for us, but not in the Gough, or Butcher Mould etc etc. Very good for the national team at the time when he played for Blackburn I think. From memory, was it Advocat that signed him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advocaat was the manager but I think Murray might’ve signed him…… He’s not had a lot of luck/ or made good decisions off the pitch once his playing career finished. Hes 55 (55 whoop whoop 🙌 ) so it’s catching up with him and he’s not looking good for a retired athlete.

left winger 14,152 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He did the presentations at a tournament my son was at, in Blackpool, a couple of years ago, and didn’t look the best then, either. I thought he was over-rated as a defender. Not bad, by any means - a good battler, but lacked the nous of top defenders.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Won the Premier League, and a Treble with us - a mainstay of the Scotland team and people think he wasn't a good defender. :-( He was a great defender.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He wasn’t a bad player by any means but paying 4 million - which was still relatively big money in 1998 - for a guy well into his 30’s was absolute insanity Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,225 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Went to ground too easily and often to be a great defender. The " Braveheart " headlines gave him a higher status than his actual ability. Lilac 3rd Kit 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,461 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Signed by Murray, when Advocaat didn’t really want him. Wasn’t his type of player. A bit like a better Duffy rather than a ball player. Terrible hand dealt to him with what happened with his wife, but no ill will. Haven’t ever heard him speak badly about his. Also part of a treble winning team.

MacBoyd 5,438 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Very surprised by these comments I thought he was a good player. As stated above we over payed but that's not his fault. Bluepeter9, graeme_4 and J-Maestro 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
