I'm not sure but Wikipedia says that during the 1988/89 season they had a Scottish coach called John Higgins. Was he pals with Bobby Clark perhaps and managed to arrange a match during a Scottish tour?
I vaguely remember us trying to sign two Americans including John Harkes (?) or that latter bit might be nonsense. Certainly 'a big' centre-half if I recall correctly...
Grant maybe playing more advanced with Paul Wright
