This week, in honor of our friend, Craig Brown, we are re-releasing our podcast episode with him. Craig sadly passed away this week. He was a wonderful man with a terrific character, and we feel fortunate to have had him in our lives. Craig was the last man to take Scotland to a World Cup Finals and is still Scotland’s longest serving manager. The outpouring of messages for Craig shows what a quality person and manager he was. Recently, we re-released our book with a foreword from Craig, which is something we will forever cherish. Craig, we hope this episode showcased your ability to move people with your stories, your character, and your care, while showing your love for the game. Thank you, and rest in peace.
