Freddy am I correct in saying that you played for a Scottish Premier League Select side that played and defeated Scotland 1-0 at Hampden?

​Wee Jim was the Scottish League XI Gaffer if I recall correctly?

Good memories of that match?

 
Yes very good memories , wee Jim also winning at Hampden.
Utd was under him because of no luck on the day in finals .... but the teams where good but bad decisions not good on the day etc ,
But that day he and our select team won

Alex clelland , always a 6,5 will never let you down during a match
David narey , speaks for itself ideal centre half , reads the game well etc
Krivokapic , never in danger with him. Beside that two gentleman in the heart of defence
Malpass , exactly the same a Alex on the other side , but Maurice also always a 6- 6,5
Mc kinnon, good both feet  quick thinker , when I first saw him I thought what a ability
Mcinally , a winner , team player , you need these players in your team engines without the ball
Darren Jackson, could perfectly play between the lines as a attaking midfielder
Gallagher , pace,  brave , good functional technique and can score a goal
Duncan Ferguson , had it all , attitude strength Hight, bravery , and don’t forget good feet
Other winger John o Neill , Andy Mc Laren , hamish French , Cristian dailly Allan Preston , even John Clark because you could play John any position on the park with his strenght shooting power etc

Evening Freddy

How did Jim McLean’s style of management compare with anything you’d had on the continent?




Did you ever see the Freddy Van Der Krueger T-shirts they sold in the United shop?

Yes was another cup of tea even sometimes after a Victory he went mental what went wrong, I think it was the nerve who was coming out , I think to about etc is more for the crouwd than really get you going The team must perform and the work must be done for a coach before the match , the only thing you have in hand is to do a change substitute to get on, but not this or that and waving and shouting , it is nice to watch the coach form atletico Madrid but more Important is that griezmann is happy ;
 
And,no I guess sold out

Freddy,

What do Dutch people think about Britain leaving the EU?

 
That is obvious how ... can you be, for sure it will not be for the best for the uk , an unbelievable move , which is also my modest opinion

RRDH wrote:

that is incredible

 
No not at all , nice to be in contact with the club and country where I and my family have nice memories . I only hope that the team got promoted ASAP because to play in championship doesn’t deserve the club but for sure not the supporters

If you ever got a chance to say a few words to jim mclean what would you say to him?

 
Well that I learned things from him , how things has to be and don’t has to be, I had a good professional relationship with him , he was hard , sometimes crazy , but a winner also.
It will be harder the way he worked now a days , but still all starting with being fit sharp etc, so trust me we where fit sharp etc ,
I never after three weeks I came in his office , he said listen you are not fit enough you train tomorrow only running so we went to hamburger hill , I really thought I am gonna dye here , what am I doing , but it works well because I became fitter and fitter and the second year I did quite well there was interest , my agent calls Jim Mclean and I had to come in , who I thought I was etc etc etc , hahahah,
To be honest I was 15 year director and did all the tricks also all for the club ;

What do you miss most about playing football?

 
To be honest not to much , I stayed in football and the best is football yourself but after that many games , and age ,your body is not capable anymore, most you miss the dressing room with all the jokes etc,
After my playing days I became director for 15 years and since 1year with the help of huge companies I am working as an agent , Jordy Briels was one of our players , who now signed in the Dutch championship, for sure he was a good player for Dufc but they thought differently , which can happen

I don’t know the man, I think that ray Mckinnon was to quick been sacked , his football knowledge and work rate what I hear was superb and when he left there was every chance to get promoted but they lost is afterwards , maybe some people push the panic button.
As long as the supporters keep behind the team , they must get out this league , they invest a lot with new boys and staff members so this time next year Dufc is thinking about when they play the old firm again at Tannadice
