Football's Greatest Top 5: Gordon Strachan | “My first night out at United I ended up in the boot of a car”

For the last of our Football’s Greatest interviews, Gordon Strachan joins Jeff once more to discuss his top 5 captains from his career. Along the way Gordon recalls the best footballer he ever played with, the moment he says was one of the best of his life and the player who lived his life in chaos. He also reveals how he ended up in the boot of a car on his first night out at Manchester United, why he only went to England once Graeme Souness had left, what made Scott Brown an inspirational figure and why Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t want his players talking to the Liverpool lads on international duty. NEXT WEEK: Look out for a brand new show - Football’s Greatest: Euros. Paul Merson and Jeff are back together every week throughout the Euros to discuss all the big stories. You can also ask them questions about the tournament, about players, managers, transfer rumours or about their own careers. Email Jeff and Merse at footballsgreatest@foldingpocket.co.uk.
