Summer Quiz #1
At the end of the 91/92 season, Jim McLean took his Utd team to Canada for a friendly tournament.
Utd didn't fare too well in their three games, only drawing one and losing the other two.
Can you name the three opponents Utd played?

Having looked further into this, the 2 Vancouver teams were Vancouver 86ers and Vancouver Isle

Correct.
It was a poor showing from Utd, as we only drew one, and lost two.

Re: Summer Quiz #1
Edison Machin played in these two friendlies. I remember being gutted when we couldn't sign him because he was apparently a great player.

The name Martin Neill is a strange one.
A trialist, I assume.

The name Martin Neill is a strange one.
A trialist, I assume.
Signed from Shielfield Rangers in 1988, Martin became a regular with Berwick Rangers, playing with them in a Scottish Cup tie at Tannadice in January 1992.
A few weeks later he joined United for trials and signed for £25,000 at the end of March. He travelled with the squad to the invitation Guinness Gold Cup tournament in Canada, playing against Vancouver Island All Stars. He played in one more friendly for United, spending the rest of his time at Tannadice in the reserves before returning to Berwick Rangers in March 1993 without having made a first team appearance with United.
He remained at Berwick for the rest of his career, helping them win promotion to the Second Division in 2000, and retired in 2005.
