BigFooty Death List 2023 - ClarkeM goes Back-To-Back, finishing 1st/60 with 251 points

[Elmer_Hauser]

Sad news, Elmer.

The last manager to take Scotland to the World Cup. Here's hoping that Steve Clarke is the next.

I will probably re-watch CB's World Cup Diaries this week to reflect on the '98 World Cup appearance.

Some big names in Scottish football have passed on over the last two years. Off the top of my head, Walter Smith, Andy Goram, Gordon McQueen and now Brown.

Scottish Football is generally underrated and imo disrespected over the years by so called football intellectuals who should know better

My club Leeds greatest ever player King Billy (Bremner) was a scot, as was my first/childhood football hero, Gary McAllister.

Have a lot of time for Gordon Strachan too.

Walter Smith was very decorated manger too.

Sir Alex Ferguson is legendary too and almost universally regarded as the GOAT manager (although I feel like Pep Guardiola will over pass him at some point, if not already)

Definitely would love Scotland back in the world cup.

A small, proud nation that punches above its weight and deserves more recognition for what they have contributed to the beautiful game

I really should do an update… but whisky

Despise ManU/Ferguson, but no comparison between him and Pep.

Ferguson built United from the ground up, they were mediocre when he came in and he turned them into world beaters.

Pep goes from job to job with massive transfer budgets and established sides. He's never had to do the really hard yards.

I even rate Mourinho above Pep because Jose won the champs league with Porto.

Hard to gauge Pep until he's faced real adversity as a coach.

Ferguson at Aberdeen was amazing, for a Scottish club not called Rangers or Celtic to win multiple leagues and cups was something for them to then win in Europe was unheard of. My Aunt lectured at Aberdeen Uni at the time said it was awash with North Sea oil money and Fergie mania.

Mutulu Shakur aka Jeral Wayne Williams aka 2Pacs stepfather and name giver 72 Cancer

Mutulu was involved in many Black Activist roles and one that involved robbing a Brinks truck in 1981

1 Brinks operator shot dead 1 survived and 2 officers shot dead.

Shakur was released in December 2022 with the understanding he was no threat anymore

Now the surviving Brinks driver had a eventful life

Trombino recovered from the wounds he sustained in this incident, dying on September 11, 2001 in the September 11 attacks while guarding his Brink's truck in a parking garage beneath one of the towers as fellow Brink's employees who arrived in his truck, all of whom survived, attempted to complete their assignments in various World Trade Center offices.[7]
