Brilliant ball control and could go past a player with ease but was slower than a week in the tin pale .
Heard Bell once had a race with George Mcluskey and they have still no finished it :)SCOTTISH CUP WINNERS 2016

A strong Aberdeen presence in this team. He also picked him again as one of his overage players when Dougie was 24.

This extract from the Hibs section of the book struck a chord with me:
"Speaking to Hibs fans at various events at the time, their overall feeling was that Alec’s tactics were a bit too negative. The way I saw it is that he was only negative in the big games but not the ordinary league games. If we played Dunfermline for example and they were bottom half he wanted me to run at them and get the crowd excited. That is what I had been doing for years, and since I had been at the club, and I loved it. Against the bigger and better teams he was now was telling me that I had to sit in. That might have made good tactical sense but I really disliked having to do it.
In one game he asked me to man-mark a particular well-known Celtic player which I did. That player hardly touched the ball. The problem was that I only touched the ball myself around 10 times in the game and for an attacking midfielder who loves to get forward that was excruciating. The manager thought I had one of my best games for him and I couldn’t understand how."Last edited by Baker9; 17-07-2018 at 01:33 PM.
