Talking of students at Tannadice....

I was in 7th Heaven when I got a game at Tannadice whilst at Heriot Watt Univ. I was 'trialing' for Brechin City (I knew the Brechin manager) against a United reserve/young team under the midweek lights. A young Graeme Payne was playing for Utd. I could barely kick the ball for being in awe of where I was, instead of making headed clearances I was too busy pinching myself.

Anyway one of my mates had nipped along to watch (it was closed doors) and found himself standing near two of the Brechin officials.

'Who's the tall lad at the back', asked one to the other. 'Not sure, think he's a student or something' was the response. 'Well he should sharpen his pencil' was the retort.

That's as far as I got I'm afraid but I'll never forget my 90 mins on Tannadice.

90 minutes? They must have kept you on to see if you'd improve at some point. 🤪

Me and my friend once went along to make up the numbers in a pub team, my friend was playing in goals and got dropped in the warm up.
