A complete gentleman in the couple of times I have had the pleasure to meet him, that said would not want to be in the changing room after a bad performance - as you say a real leaderOne of the greatest leaders on the planet.
What were you doing to deserve the look?I am a 6 foot 2 16 stone Govanite and one time in his company he gave me "that" look. All I can say is thank heavens I was wearing tight boxers and brown trousers.
No wonder the press didn't mess with him.

Asked him a stupid question about the team formation.What were you doing to deserve the look?
Absolutely. You just know they'll still refer to him as gaffer, no matter how long ago they played for himWill always be the boss, to me and I'm betting the players that played for him
My old man had the very same look when we were at a sportsman’s and ask Walter if he’d mind moving away from the window as the light would spoil the photo, the look he gave my old man will live with me forever, it took Greame Souness to say to him, the man’s right Walter your better over there and he eventually smiled.I am a 6 foot 2 16 stone Govanite and one time in his company he gave me "that" look.

Stephen Purdon said he was at the Laudrup night and Laudrup said when he got diagnosed with cancer the first person who called was Walter Smith and he told him any help you need anywhere in the world let me know and i will sort it out
This says it all really.Walter is the personification of Rangers- classy, dignified, tough and a serial winner.
All about respect KD and the man deserves itAbsolutely. You just know they'll still refer to him as gaffer, no matter how long ago they played for him
Heard him be credited more than once with sorting out Ronaldo's need for trick and flicks instead of passes. If true its a masterstroke that Ronaldo doesn't credit him for unfortunately.It’s telling that no player has a bad word to say about him, including the array of World Class egos he coached at Man Utd.

Stuart McCall still referred to him as gaffer when he himself was already a manager of another teamAbsolutely. You just know they'll still refer to him as gaffer, no matter how long ago they played for him
We did the Ibrox tour last week. The wee man looks at Walter's portrait outside the Blue room and loudly says "wait, why is there a picture of Joe Biden?"

Asked him a stupid question about the team formation.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. I think Walter’s a special type of boss in that regard and it’s part of why players give everything for him. The story of him having Gazza over for Christmas dinner still warms my heart.
Smith and Laudrup, I was really lucky growing up.
