He was more of a football player than a football fan... the rest of his family are Bheggars who sometimes went to see Morton.It's a strange one. Back in the day the zines (FF and number 1) had him down as the most republican rat that ever lived. I'm sure one article even had him down as turning up for training at Dundee wearing an IRA t shirt. Maybe the Gub or Dingers can confirm this.
I listened to him on radio Scotland yesterday and he had sussed our Morelos tactic within 5 minutes of kick off.
I like the guy but find it strange that he would jump the dyke in this manner. He's a pape from the Port. I'm a blue nose from Paisley who could never pull on their jersey regardless of what they paid me. Nothing to do with bigotry. My wife's a puddle drinker.
As I say it was a strange one for me.
Maybe he was just looking to take his career to the highest level he wanted and it may.well be that he wasn't that interested in that mob. Whatever his reasoning he was a success for us.It's a strange one. Back in the day the zines (FF and number 1) had him down as the most republican rat that ever lived.

I don’t think he’s underrated. You will barely find a Bear who watched his time with us who doesn’t speak very fondly of him. Given the millions we were spending at the time, he was also a player who proved real value for money.
I also think highly of him, but recall he could be an inconsistent and frustrating player at times, especially against the lower level SPL teams. In fairness, it’s hard
for a pacy winger to do much against a team who will sit very deep and have 6 players defending in the box every time he goes to put a cross in.
He gave us same great moments in the big games - the 2 goals which sealed the title are probably the most memorable, but as someone who enjoyed playing out wide in my youth, his cross for Lovenkrands winner in 2002 might be my favourite. That cross was a real thing of beauty.
Missed an absolute sitter v Galatasaray that ultimately cost us a place in the next round of the champions league. Was good apart from that.
This, I have never even thought that any gers fan would think otherwise.None of the above. Held in high regard by most bears for his contributions.

A great player.How do you rate the wee fella?
Is the correct answer for me.None of the above. Held in high regard by most bears for his contributions.
