Team Talk
The story is told that when Jock Wallace was manager of Rangers in the 70s
the Ibrox club's search for players who kicked with the right foot led them to
take on a Nigerian triallist, who was quickly and affectionately nicknamed Shug.
One match day, Wallace summoned the squad for a team talk and it went something
like this:
'Goalie throw oot baw tae full back. Backie pass tae midfielder. Midfielder gie
baw tae winger. Winger cross tae Shug. Shug heidie baw, score goal. Goat that?
Pass, cross, heidie, goal.'
Shug frowned and said, 'Really Mr Wallace, my command of English is not so sketchy
that you have to patronise me in such a manner.'
Wallace replied, 'Naw, naw, it's no for your benefit, son . . . it's they other
ten bawheids!'
