THAT goal for Rangers; THAT tackle for Scotland: the stuff of legend.

Rest In Peace. 

Yes, that tackle on Channon still sticks in my memory; defending of that type does seem a lost art nowadays. Apparently he resented the name 'Jaws.' I think it was a compliment.

I think that he may have found it preferable to the description "carthorse" bestowed upon him, from arrogance bred of ignorance, by Mr Tommy Docherty, then manager of Man Utd, prior to that match.

On the night after that tackle I was at the Rangers Club where Andy Cameron was the act.Asking a stupid question "are there any Sctland fans in then highlighting Tom's tackle he continued to pass on the following":-

 

"Just heard that Tommy Docherty is going to be next Scotland coach,silence in the audience,yes they are taking his teeth out and putting seats in" brought a great cheer and much laughter.
