Paddy BarclayHOST
Unless I'm very much mistaken, the absence of Gerry Daly is significant.
Paddy BarclayHOST
And I think Lou Macari had by then moved back into midfield.
Paddy BarclayHOST
to allow green off and, uh, and, uh, and Stuart Pearson to be the front too.
Paddy BarclayHOST
Um, so, you know, that was a, that was another development.
Jenni FalconerHOST
Pete, when you were doing football, what was your fitness regime like?
Chris KamaraGUEST
When I was, uh, Swindon with Lou Macari, he made us run, uh, run and run on a Thursday before a Saturday game.
Chris KamaraGUEST
We'd...
Chris KamaraGUEST
He'd drop us off on the coach about three mile away from the ground, and we had to run back.
Brian O'NeillGUEST
yeah well it's always going to be if you're a Celtic fan and you score in front of the you scored
Simon HoustonHOST
two you scored two winners at Ibrox late winners against Aberdeen though but that so what's your recollections of that I know Frank's got his thoughts on Lou Macari but first of all with Liam I
Brian O'NeillGUEST
think it was a massive job for him to get wasn't it to just stop playing football and come to Celtic again now it's a hindsight
Frank McAvennieHOST
again but he brought in Stuart Slater who was a really good player but he just never hit the heights no at Sheldon he's a really good
Paul John DykesHOST
Doesn't want to be front and center.
Paul John DykesHOST
But in 1985, he's still playing junior football, and there was always that, whatever happened to George? You know, because in 1985, compare and contrast his career with what Lou Macari, Danny McGrain, and Kenny Dalglish were doing at that time.
Ged FitzsimmonsGUEST
Yeah.
Paul John DykesHOST
And, and George should have been in amongst that, even then.
Ged FitzsimmonsGUEST
And, and I've said, I think I said in, uh, uh, say, the Celtic Exchange Podcast, arguably Jock Stein's biggest mistake was dropping George for the final.
Ged FitzsimmonsGUEST
Probably was his biggest mistake.
Ged FitzsimmonsGUEST
Um, but, um, what you're wa- what you watch after that in 1971 when the, kind of, on the, the dawn of the quality street gang, so to speak, if you're talking about a team whose spine is Kenny Da- well, Danny McGrain, Davie Hay, George Connolly, Kenny Dalglish, and Lou Macari.
Paul John DykesHOST
Mm.
Mick BouldingGUEST
I ended up going...
Mick BouldingGUEST
so I nearly signed for Huddersfield so Lou Macari was manager of Huddersfield with Joe Jordan as assistant so Huddersfield they were in league one at the time so Mansfield were league two my contract was up at Mansfield they wanted to like Billy wanted to extend it but obviously I had this opportunity with Huddersfield so I'd gone to Huddersfield was training with them.
Mick BouldingGUEST
And then Huddersfield offered me a contract.
Mick BouldingGUEST
And John, I can't remember exactly how it came about, but John Cottrell, so John Cottrell was, for me, was the reason that I ended up at Grimsby and obviously got that amazing opportunity.
David TannerHOST
But I was in, I was a kid at Radio Clyde, and I used to produce the football program, uh, Super Scoreboard there.
David TannerHOST
And I was standing next to Hugh Kevins, whose phone rang, and it was a landline in those days, and it was Lou Macari, who was the Celtic manager.
Chick CharnleyGUEST
Mm.
David TannerHOST
And he said, "We've got this testimonial." I think it was the next day, actually.
38 MINS LATER
Chick CharnleyGUEST
Aye.
Raymond MearnsHOST
And that was true what I said, by the way.
Raymond MearnsHOST
I, I was there when Lou Macari phoned up Hugh Kevins at Radio Clyde and said, "Can you tap this boy for me?" The way the world worked before agents.
Raymond MearnsHOST
Well, actually, there were agents in those days, just Chico didn't have one.
