    I've just been reading all the press cuttings in The Final Countdown book about our run the the UEFA Cup Final in 87 and it's quite revealing to look back on some of his interviews. A guy who lived football 24/7 and left no stone unturned in his efforts to get the best for Dundee United.
    As an aside, in the book there's an interview with George Fox which reveals that Fox talked McLean OUT of accepting an offer of £600,000 for one of our players. (Could be one of three possibilities).

    I never met Jim McLean but I heard him once. I was at Tannadice to meet Ann Diamond and as we were talking we could hear him in a nearby room ripping one of the youth players a new one. Never found out who it was, but Ann just raised her eyebrows as if to say Aye, that's Jim!

    A penny dainty to anyone who can identify where this was taken and the year.

    Looks like the end where the United fans were housed opposite the Stetford end. There was a few in the front rows of the seated area too.

    It threw me at first but I'm guessing it might be the 18 yard box. This might be all boll**x of course 😅
