pete 2,499 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I seem to remember something about Dave Smith renting a house out and then having a lot of difficulty getting the people out of it after the rental period was finished. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 He was a Scots player ahead of his time. A midfielder who played with his head rather than just clattering into opponents . Very skilled as well. One of my favourites but was in no way universally accepted amongst our support. Older family members who I went to games with were not impressed. They did the same with Andy Penman too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,018 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Saw his debut in a friendly against Arsenal along with Alec Smith from Dunfermline. You could see his class but he did take a while to settle and for fans to realise he wasn't Baxter. Once he came to grips with what was asked of him he was absolutely outstanding. I suspect that he himself devised the role he played rather than any manager or coach. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the Beckenbauer school of sweeper, he just seemed to have all the time in the world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
