Alan Hutton

So it's all going to be Spurs players.

10th was Alan Hutton.

9th was Jake Livermore 7th you

could have

I can remember going up there when Bomber was under-18s manager, and I stood at the side of the pitch with him before the game.

I said, right, who do you think is going to make it here? And he looked around and says, right, that big skinny guy, skinny lad at right back, and it was Alan Hutton.

and he looked around and he said this guy here left left midfield and it was charlie adam uh and there was uh ross mccaskill up front um and tom brightman tom brighton yeah he went to went to millwall and uh and had a good career you know so out of that one team there were four guys who came through and and obviously i you know i remember you know the mccrory brothers at age eight i remember um Gilmore and Patterson playing in the same team from under eights right up under and they jumped from under eights to tens to twelves to sixteens you know because they were fast tracked so we always benefit when there's one or two key players coming through and Finlay again I've known Finlay for a long time through the ranks and Finlay always had this I remember going to see a game up closed doors and he he came off and I said to one of the coaches afterwards I said oh Finlay had a quiet game today and he said he scored a hat trick I said, did he? And Finlay's been that kind of player through, he just appears and scores and you think he's had a quiet game, but he's been really effective, you know.

So, you know, we're delighted with Finlay just now.

So for Nathan to develop...

he had to go away you know and of course you know the club benefited financially from that so you know and i think one thing a lot of fans maybe don't realize perhaps is whenever we sell it whenever a young player leaves us quite often we get a fee for him you know you know we you know some players go away and it's all maybe not realizing that players left etc we get development fees etc so You know, it's become a bit of a business for us.

You know, you look at the Chelsea and Arsenal, you know, a lot of clubs is a profitable part of the business, you know, and you only really need one or two every few years, like Nathan Paterson, you know, Alan Hutton, for example, you know.

you can you can you can profit that you know and that's where clubs like Chelsea maybe sign players who I don't think they've got any great intention of playing them in the first team but they know they'll make money on that player because it's a business and it's a recognised part of the part of the club you know and I think that's where we are as well we've got we've got a lot of players over the years we've we've made money on good money you know and as you quite rightly say there that Scotland squad well There's four or five Rangers players who came through our academy in that team playing for Scotland.

Aye, aye, that was him.

but still making me go to mass on a Sunday so work that out and Sport for Colin Sport he said the legend that is Alan Hutton I was working behind the bar in the local golf club and I turned round and he was there I should have known he was going to be there because it was a psychic reading event the idea that Alan Hutton at a psychic night I'm not buying it I'm not buying it I once saw

you remember Alan got very badly injured was he at Aston Villa at the time yes he was aye and he had a real real bad leg injury yeah and I saw him I was walking through Dubai the airport at Dubai past one of these big things where they've got big slabs of kind of figs and dates and all of that, this huge kind of display of dates.

And I thought, I know that guy, the guy that's limping there.

And I thought, it's Alan Hutton.

And I just nodded to him and he nodded back.

I don't know if he knew me or I just nodded.

And I was like, you know what? He might just be a left back.

It reminded me of when Alan Hutton went to left back for us.

And he looked a lot more composed than he was at right back.

If you know, you know.

And it's going to be a good show, this, because we've got the Hearts manager joining us in just a moment.

But good to have Alan Hutton back after a little weekend away, Al, on holiday.

How was it?

Oh, it was brilliant.

It's a horrible tackle, isn't it? He kicked Matty Cash in the nuts, yeah.

Alan Hutton and Tim.

They've got Callum Wilson now.

I didn't realise that he's washed up on their shores.

Ah.

It was Alan Hutton.

[laughs] I thought you were gonna say N- Nii Lamptey-

I like a-

So here we go then with the Scottish Football Social Club.

And we go, as you probably noticed, a man like, because I don't know, Michael, you can confirm whether or not this is true, but apparently Alan Hutton had to get out of the country to avoid the Sixes.

Yeah, it would appear so.

He's even been, I think, doing a bit of manual labour as well.

Walter Smith, he used Davie Weir for Everton and Rangers.

Alex McLeish used Alan Hutton for Rangers and Aston Villa, and Gordon Strachan used Paul Lam- Paul Telfer, sorry, for Southampton and Celtic.

Let's see how many more we get.

Thanks to The Crazy Pony, and as always, keep your questions coming in.

So your question tonight, you two, it's a cracker.

11 managers have used the same player in both the English and the Scottish top flight.

Can you name the most recent example for each manager? So Alex McLeish used Alan Hutton for Rangers and Villa.

Gordon Strachan used Paul Telfer at Celtic and Southampton.
