Gordon Strachan could be a bit... obtuse.

Don’t think Lambie was eccentric to be fair, nothing strange or unconventional about him, just a proper old school football manager, a real character.

Jim Leishman. Always seemed like a good football man and a decent guy. A "character" as we'd say.

Come to think about it, it was 3 years to the day that Pedro played with 1-2 defenders against Motherwell when we drew 1-1 at Ibrox. I think one of those defenders was O’Halloran.

I'm sure he made 3 subs at half time, could have swore he put Jon Toral at centre half.

Just the tip...
“Does Billy Davies think he’s one of the most eccentric managers in Scottish football? Billy davis would have to say ‘aye’”

I used to ride Stainrods missus. Filthy and extremely eccentric in the bedroom.

I’d suggest wringing a pigeon’s neck in front of his players and dropping a medicine ball on one of his players is fairly eccentric!

Rowan Alexander. Turned up for Gretna's cup final with Hearts in full kilt and rug over the shoulder.
Gets the sack but still turns up anyway and tries to take the team.
He's back there now!

Turned up to training in a t-shirt that read ‘gaffer, had a car with a private registration plate that read ‘gaffer’ and slept in his office when he was manager of QOS.

Harry Kampman although maybe I’m confusing eccentric with ‘shite’.
“The operation was a success, but the patient died” was how he described his time at Aberdeen.

Loved the story about John Lambie when asked if they should substitute a player who appeared to be showing signs of concussion.

Met Jim on a stag weekend in Krakow, randomly. He’s some guy. The majority of my group were Raith Rovers supporters and him being a Dunfermline man, he took a bit of a stick, but he took it the right way and had a laugh with us. I just thought it was funny - a group of guys from Fife going abroad on a stag weekend... only to bump into Mr Fife himself hah.
Well, that escalated quickly. New thread required and the floor is yours.
