Dundee United

I had a 3 day trial in 1981 before they lost to Rangers 2-1 in the league cup final on the Saturday and scored a hattrick against Scotlands main defence in a training match. They won the league in 1983. Gutted that they are in such decline.Relegated and lost to Spartans who I played against several times and then Partick in the cup. I was never going to make it at that level but it was my decision. Jim Mclean and Walter Smith were twats but wanted to give me a chance. Eamon Bannon whipped in serious crosses at corners that almost took my head off ! Hamish McAlpine saved pretty much everything at training but my 3 goals wearing Paul Sturrocks boots as you had to have moulded studs rather than proper studs made my day. Richard Gough was just breaking through in to the team and training was only about 20 players, all first team. In my first game back in the Borders the central defender said I was ****. I walked off after about 70 minutes as I thougbt 5 goals against them was enough !
