What a great guy is Gordon Strachan. And what a player

[ignatiuscheese]

Played in a five a side game once with Gordon Strachan on the other team. Not too long after he'd retired from playing. Couldn't get near him 😂 He was unbelievable and he was taking it easy on us too.

[Harbaksh]

Wishing Chris Kamara well.
Keep smiling, bro X

What an entertaining 4 minutes that was, marvellous character and a great footballer.

very underrated player- uk does not produce many world class players but strachan definitely was

Alec Ferguson was a legend in the world of football before Man Utd. The last manager to beat Real Madrid in a European final, Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen.

Great stories, Gordon has a wicked sense of humour

[arthurfnshelby]

Hearts missed out on the league, the next week they faced Aberdeen in the cup final. Sir Alex found out Hearts had employed a psychologist to get the league defeat out of their heads. Alex F had the Aberdeen team at Hampden before Hearts arrived and had all the Aberdeen players meet their opponents and say things like ‘ sorry you lost the league’, or ‘ maybe next time’. Stuff like that. Got into the Hearts players heads, beaten before the game started. Genius.

"There's only the one Gordon Strachan, and he is king of them all. When he's on the ball, we all shout for goal, coz Gordon's the king of them all"

Wee Strach, what a character, went out drinking with Jimmy Johnstone when at Dundee, his liver took a week to recover, his didne speak to him for a week 😅😅

[chuckwagon]

I cannot believe I just found out Sir Alex Ferguson suffered from nerves!

[marksullivan]

I saw Sir Alex at St Johnstones ground in the 80s.The Aberdeen players were walking with the trouble in sight.Little did I know he brought the glory back to Man Utd.

[mcmisacigoj]

I would love this legend to speak english so I could understand what he says

[grahamfleming]

Beckham thought he was one of the best managers he ever had .One of his temper tantrums and his shoe flew of and hit him on the head.
Legend.

[GoGetYourShinebox]

Alex Ferguson was a near psychopathic winner, like it was a problem almost lol. Same as someone like Michael Jordan who was addicted to winning and it would drive him nuts if he lost at anything even a card game

[clivet]

For anyone who's a wrestling fan I see the relationship between Gordon Strachan and Alex Ferguson as very similar to the one between Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon.

Bloody brilliant ❤ the old school stories, could listen to them all day long on Sunday.

[JJMcfee]

Oooot North Sea, fanatstic motivation against poor injuries .

[BobVance]

Why did they (everyone!) stop referring to him as Alec?
