The Story of Danny McLennan: Scottish Football's Greatest Loss

The story of Danny McLennan: Scottish football's greatest loss.

If Danny McLennan was to walk down any street in Scotland, not one person would know who he was. To thousands of others in different corners of the earth, he was ‘Mr Danny’ and a respected leader.

Danny McLennan managed all over the world, to places where those with fainter hearts might have feared to tread. A man who’s love for football and adventure led him to skip country to country, becoming the manager of: the Philippines, Mauritius (twice), Zimbabwe, Iran, Bahrain, Iraq, Malawi, Jordan, Fiji and Libya. Along the way taking on challenges at club level at posts in Africa, Scandinavia, the Middle East, and India.

Now, THIS is a movie worth making. Also, more excellent content once again, Tifo.

[zvonomirzuboronovic]

Tifo is a very well read team. You don't get this kind of video on the mainstream broadcasters. Keep it up, lads.

[chrissingh]

These videos really do open a fan's eyes to the wonderful game that is football.. great content tifo! 👍🏻

[tilly]

Amazing content. Other football channels seem to only concentrate on PL and international careers that are common knowledge to real football fans. This content is very refreshing. Love this channel.

[mikepoveyrulz]

[taufiqavisena]

[ilyas]

Thank you guys so much for these amazing videos. I watch so many different things on YouTube, so my algorithm must be all over the place. However every new Tifo video ALWAYS gets the first spot on my home page. Keep up the good work.

This has really changed my mind on Journeymen footballers and coaches, I’d always considered them to just be getting a gig wherever they can but maybe for a lot of them it’s more about using football as a means to explore the world. Fantastic video

[Mlaargaar]

What a wonderful video. Christ, I love the way you unearth such amazing figures, who've helped mold football to what it is today.
Please keep these kinds of videos up, the depth and quality are unassailable!

[sayakchakraborty]

I was very young and I remember him from when he was managing Churchill Brothers during his second spell in India. I didn't know do much about him. Thank you, Tifo!

[samclarke]

[dhimanbd]

His love amd dedication to football is excellent 👏👏👏

[shakirzayed]

Thanks
I am from Iraq
People in my country still love this coach
Older people remember him well after more than 43 years of training for Iraq
They consider him the best foreign coach who has ever trained the Iraqi team

[abhimanyuchatterjea]

Terrific video. Good to see his association with Churchill Brothers.

[WoleSpeaks...]

This is one of your best ones yet... Thank you... It's refreshing

[Dn]

That was brilliant, written with thought and affection.

[AntonoirJacques]

More videos like this please! Insightful and undervalued information.

[charlesthebrick]

SI: What football manager leagues do you want to load for your new save?
Mr. Danny: *shows them this video*

[EseAgoaye]

Honestly, watching Tifo really does expand my mind! If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have known half of what they've covered!

[faisal]

Well I didn't expect to see anything about Iraq in this video 🇮🇶
