    Well done GF, got there in the end. Was it by deduction?

    I am Archie Gemmill

    I was the first player to do something in the land of my birth. First tactical substitute ever used in Scottish football.

    I won English and European honours. 3 League Titles, 1 European Cup at Derby/Forest

    I played for a team you would associate with Tetley. Jacksonville Tea Men in the North American Soccer League

    I scored a goal that became a feature in popular culture. My goal against Holland in the 1978 World Cup was featured in Trainspotting when a VHS tape of 100 Greatest Goals got swapped with a home made p.orn film.

    Take a Miller from me and you'd be left with some v.ital energy and a precious stone. Archie Gemmill - A Miller = Chi + Gem

    I played for my country. Scotland

    I went on a march but it wasn't with Oliver's Army. It was with Ally's Army.



    I had a brief spell in management and played a part in a team first. Rotherham's Auto Windscreen triumph at Wembley.

    Unpublished clues

    I played with, followed then partnered with a fellow countryman. John McGovern

    I went to great lengths to make sure my son could follow in my footsteps. Drove my wife up to Scotland to make sure our son, Scot Gemmill was born there.

    I thought of Archie Gemmill earlier because of the famous goal part but thought it couldn't be that easy.

    Apparently he took the Millers team to watch Trainspotting at the cinema because him and his goal are in it!

    According to Wiki

    The goal is referenced in the film Trainspotting, in which characters Tommy and Lizzie decide to make love while watching a homemade ****o film, only to see it has been replaced with a football tape called "100 Great Goals" which features Gemmill's strike. At the same time, Renton (Ewan McGregor), who had switched the tapes in their cases and borrowed Tommy and Lizzie's tape, says after climaxing during ***, "I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!" Gemmill first saw Trainspotting on a club outing with Rotherham, and his reaction was:[5] "I got absolutely slaughtered by the lads... to be fair I was a bit embarrassed by it."

    So he's saying he didn't know he was in it and it was a coincidence he took the team to watch it?

    Not sure about that

    Didn't say he took them, it's almost as if they took him knowing it was in there. Bit more about it here
