(The fundraiser calls it early onset but he is 81 and was still able to visit Chelsea’s training a couple of of weeks so I’m not sure that is what I say is early onset dementia. ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,352 Posted June 3, 2023 Celtic won the Scottish Cup today, beating plucky but limited lower league side Inverness. Famously, Inverness beat Celtic in the Scottish Cup at Parkhead back in February 2000, and the BBC showed an entertaining documentary about that match last night, ahead of this years Cup final. A repeat from 2020. Lots of talking heads in it, from Jonathan Gould to several of the Inverness team. Not appearing at all is the Inverness manager of the time, Steve Paterson. At one time the big new thing in Scottish football, his career fell apart at Aberdeen in 2003 when his alcohol issues got in the way of his job. Some minor jobs afterwards, before tailing off into drink, gambling debts and domestic issues. He's 65 now, was in court last year over a domestic assault charge, and did an interview this week to the Press and Journal talking up his future in football (!) but now in his mid 60s and with four decades of extensive addiction on the go, one we should keep a closer eye on, imo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
