What was the BEST ground you played on and the WORST?
Best.....some stadium in Malaysia in a pre season game with United.
Worst....Aberdeen and Dens

The Malaysia stadium was the opening of their new National stadium in Kuala Lumpar.

Think i'm right in saying it was a 1-1 each draw v Bayern Munich with 100,000 people in attendance.

How surreal did that feel to play in lol?

First game of pre season u usually want to be playing in front of the least fans as possible...lol

Afternoon Mr W, thanks for the fantastic memories.
I recently started coaching kids (call it my mid-life crisis). It's under 11s girls. Any tips you can offer this rookie "soccer mom" ?

My middle boy Michael takes girls teams around that age. He just won state cup with his U12s......train them like boy's and have them playing with boys as much as you can

Can you tell us a bit about your (very) brief spell at Clydebank?

Was it Ian McCall who was their Gaffer at the the time?

I mind horror stories at the time saying they trained on a public park with dog shit and broken glass etc everywhere...was it as bad as all that lol?

Think it was Ferguslie Park in Paisley....and yes it was a shocker.
Needed games after injury and got them at Clydebank, don't think we even had a manager......some good players played there in that spell

You took over from Mixu as Cowdenbeath Manager 10 years ago.

Why do you think your spell as Gaffer never worked out as you'd have hoped?

Do you think it was too soon into your coaching career for that job?Were you maybe too young at the time?

Or were there other factors?
Probably a little early. Management is difficult especially with part time players. Loved working with the kids but didn't enjoy management

Was there a frustration that these guys were working during the week and as a consequence you couldn't train with them every day?

Do you think in hindsight it would have been easier to be a Manager/Coach at a full time club?

Definitely easier full time, you get a proper opportunity to coach the players

Would you pay 22 note to watch Dundee United v Ayr United welshie or do you agree the chairman is continuing to take us for mugs and ripping the absolute pish?

Is that what it costs to watch 2nd tier football? That's an expensive day out.

How did you signing for Utd come about?

Who were you playing for at the time and who contacted you initially?Wee Jim or was it someone else at the club?

Signed an 's form in 1984, Alex Sumerville was the scout that seen me play. Wee Jim and Wattie were always at 's form training at Riccarton which my dad was impressed with.

Would you ever consider coming back home to coach mate?

Or is the US now 'home'?

US is home now, there was a spell when I was in Scotland that I would have jumped at the opportunity to coach the kids at United

Hi Welshy

Cheers for the memories big man.

What goal gave you most personal satisfaction?

Motherwell away in the cup?
The equaliser in the semi (when we knew we were gonna win the cup)
Or the Partick play off game.

Aberdeen semi final, we had been the better team but just couldn't score.
Plus it was usually the point of the game we conceded at Hampden.

Does it piss you off Craig Brown never gave you a shout for Scotland?

After the final I was meant to play against Holland but for some reason they didn't take me due to a previous arranged tour of Trinidad with United
