Chris Gavin?s recently-published ?Pittodrie? sees its anniversary being celebrated by the Heritage Trust and I trailed its availability a couple of weeks ago.

I've asked Santa for a copy.

Aye, a couple of weeks ago, not today. He is good, but he is not a miracle worker.

Whaaaat? Delivering presents to every continent on our battered planet over a 24 hour period whilst deitered on the drams left to him in thoosans of delivery points, keeping reindeer fed for that duration, surviving the humid heat of earth’s jungles despite being inured to the sub-zero environment of Lapland? All the while, dealing with the variety of consistencies of reindeer poop being sprayed all over skyscrapers, sporting arena floodlights, mountain summits, Peter Crouch and Greg Davies? All the while ensuring that gifts distributed are commensurate with the instructions fed up lums worldwide by wide-eyed infants, knowledgable of the properties of, and differences between Lego, stickle-bricks, Meccano, plasticene, and playdoh, and the specifications of X-boxes, Nintendos, Play Stations, and snakes and ladders?

He’s the toppest of Top Reds.

Big Red came up trumps on Christmas Day (aye, Santa Claus, nae Alex McLeish). I haven't had a proper read of it yet, just flicked through it. It seems very well researched and written, and I look forward to having a proper read of it as soon as I've finished this year's Oor Wullie book.

With that level of dedication and endurance, not to mention his phenomenal distribution skills, any chance we could sign him and slot him into midfield?

He's carrying a few extra pounds right now, thanks to all those mince pies and cans of lager that kids left out for him.

How could I forget that next/this year (depending on when you read this) is also the 70th birthday of Willie Miller?
