Team I Love to Hate |

If you're a Celtic fan, that one's a bit obvious (and
they hate me!!). |

|
Best Goal Scored |
|
|
For Scotland against Sweden at Ibrox (of all places)
in a World Cup qualifyer. A ball was put through by Tom Boyd, Darren Jackson
dummied it and I gave Bjorkland an elbow before running through on Ravelli
and rolling it past him. |
|

|
Best Match and Why? |
|
|
I can't split the best two, so I'll say both. One was
on my debut for Scotland away to Austria in the World Cup. The other was
Bolton's 2-0 victory at Liverpool in the League Cup. Dalglish had been my
hero and to score and win against his team at Anfield was incredible. I
also think it was the game that provided the spark to set Bolton on the
up. |

|
What was your ambition in football when you signed
your first professional contract? |
|
|
Just to get a game!!! It all happened so late for me.
|
|
|
|
15.
|
Do you have any match day superstitutions? |
|
|
So many, but the main ones are to wear long-sleeved
shirts (playing and managing), I was always last out of the changing room
and used to keep 'winning' tie-ups. |

|
Favourite group? |
|
|
Rod Stewart and Elvis are my favourites. We took the
family around Gracelands and I gave all five kids those disposable cameras.
I told them to take photo's of me where ever I went - got about 200 of them!
|
|
|
|
17.
|
Best transfer at any of your clubs? |
|
|
An unsung hero who deserved more attention than he
got - Keith Branagan for Bolton (and he cost the club nothing as he signed
on a free transfer). |
|
|
|
18.
|
'Dreamteam' or 'Footballer's wives'? |
|
|
The kids love Dreamteam, but I've never really watched
either of them. |

Best advice given? |
|
|
It's nothing really a football thing, but either Gerry
Gow or Ian McNeil told me to 'treat people how you'd like them to treat
you'. |
