Dorigo recalls being asked to throw a game, training with Graeme Souness and defending for Gianluigi Lentini

A good wee read particularly about playing with Graeme Souness.

Wasn't aware GS tried to sign him for us.

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

He was on a podcast called Quickly Kevin talking about his time at Leeds and he had very good things to say about us, mainly from playing at Ibrox in the Battle of Britain in the early 90s.

Seems to be one of life's good guys!

I mind listening to that one, spoke of a song all the fans sung that went "hello, hello"

Was it Dorigo that tried to tell the ref not to book Gazza? Or have I completely had a Mandela effect moment there?

That was Joe Tortolano mate against Hibs - if its the same game/booking I am thinking about.

He sung the billy boys on the podcast


Said atmosphere was incredible

Good player, i’m sure we were linked with him, would have been a good player for us. Think we bought David Robertson instead. Edit just read it, Souness tried to sign him.

 

[Grimsdale]

We were linked with him on many occasions.

Joe Tortolano I think. Hibs.

You mean ‘good fellas’ ? LOL

 

[Barcelona72]

Don’t know why but opened this thread thinking it was about a snooker player

 

[cloodie]

I remember him being linked with us a couple of times back in the day.

 

[mossy]

Always liked him as a player - remember we were constantly linked with him for a couple of years.

 

[razzer]

He was linked a few times, when Mo Johnstone signed I thought it was gonna be Dorigo they were announcing

I mind listening to that one, spoke of a song all the fans sung that went "hello, hello"

"It was so good I almost joined in"

 

[prenzlauerbear]

my uncle met him in bennetts in the 90s, said he was a gent

 

[Oleg_McNoleg]

Bit overshadowed by the excellence of Stuart Pearce in his position for England (and being an Ozzie blow in!) but a very classy full back.
