INTEREST
Model Pro (Models His Game on You):
(1) Marco Negri: earn 25 grand a week and do absolutely nothing for two years - a real professional. (2) Mark Abbott: how does the old man of Logica keep going? [Marlboros - Ed.] - A pro's pro.

Pre-Match Superstition:
Talking to Hughie and Ralph on the big white telephone before a match; putting my shirt, shorts, socks and boots on at exactly the same time.
Interesting Trivia:
Watched the sad loss of over 30 great Scottish wingers in one day. A local pigeon fancier had asked our bus steward to take and release his racing pigeons somewhere north of perth on a trip to see Aberdeen v Rangers. The rather drunken steward forgot about the birds until we were homeward bound, so we released them anyway late into the night - they were never seen again
- a generation lost.
