Bored so watching old City vids on youtube. Watched the game where we had to beat Everton last game in 1985 ( brilliant day ) but 20 mins ago if you told me the manager was was Don Mackay i would of said who !! Have absolutely no memories of him at all.......Was he any good ? !!!
He did. You could also argue we were definitely going down the season before until he took over from Gould, too. Didn't he also bring Sillett back to the club as a coach?I think the one positive contribution was signing Brian Borrows
I think to be fair to him he also resigned I believe after a predictable beating at Anfield

Was it him who signed that midfield maestro Sandy Robertson ?
At some stage that season we ended up with Davie Bowman and Jim McInally. Both ended up having pretty decent careers for Dundee Utd - when going to Scotland wasn't the end of the world! Dundee Utd beat Barcelona and reached the UEFA Cup final after all.
I do wonder if they could have been the midfield we were always looking for, given another time and place. Both pretty awful for us, mind.
Mixed him up with Bowman another maestroEr no he was signed about 10 years later
Fact of the day: Dundee United are the only club to have a 100% record against Barcelona. P4 W4 D0 L0.At some stage that season we ended up with Davie Bowman and Jim McInally.

I wonder how many sides have a 100% home win record in EuropeFact of the day: Dundee United are the only club to have a 100% record against Barcelona. P4 W4 D0 L0.
Or which club has a 75% win ratio in Europe overall!I wonder how many sides have a 100% home win record in Europe

Phil Neal. He fucked about whether to sign Chris Marsden so plumped for Robertson instead.Wasn’t that Gould?

Cyrille Regis was so disillusioned playing for Mackay that he wanted to leave until Sillett came along and the rest is history
He had just come back from injury and was very good for us while on loan & we wanted to loan him for another month but Wolves bought him instead. I think he had another injury at Wolves but really impressed when he subsequently joined Southampton. Robertson on the other hand was highly rated at Rangers, the new Gazza apparently, but was shit and disappeared without trace after a couple of gamesI was only around 10 then but still remember being shocked that we didn’t sign Marsden.
