I met Tattie when he was on the sick list with that Brummie Club. Had a mate who lived in Sutton Coldfield, and we went out on a Sunday afternoon to some trendy wine bar. He was , as always , approachable and sociable. But not happy being stuck down there and not able to play . Understandable.
I could never understand back then, how he ended up signing for the filth. Now, looking back, I can see it was a temporary insanity. Brought on from being a way long long way from home, and miserable. I imagine nobody at Aberdeen was calling him back ? So , when you get a fancyboy like Sounness waltzing in, havintg signed half the England football team , it must have seemed like a fine idea,....with ALL that money too.
I`m sure , once he was back in Scotland, he woke up one day and the horror of what he`s actually done hit him ?
( Probably right after his first visit back home too. Then going back to all that " ayebyrawaybigmanweeurrapeepulnosurrendur" sheeite back in the Empires second city .
Must have been awful for the poor Loon. !!
Anyway, Snelders . Just don`t know . Anyone ever asked him about it ? Somebody must have, surely ??
