Gary McAllister may have an MBE, 55 caps for Scotland, and winners medals for the League, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the UEFA Cup but if there is one thing he certainly does not have it's fashion sense.
Never was this more evident than when the Motherwellian (Motherwellatian?) midfield maestro met mercurial management monster Mrian Mlough (Brain Clough... Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Alliteration Anonymous, that's what I need. Or maybe a holiday. Somewhere sunny.)
At the time McAllister was a Leicester City player who been presented with the possibility of a move across the East Midlands to Clough's Nottingham Forest. Sadly the Scotsman made the mistake of turning up for meeting the in cowboy boots prompting Clough to famously remark:
"Who do you think you are young man? Bloody John Wayne?"
McAllister fired back "Actually yes I do and what's more I am very sensitive about it so I'd ask that you kindly avoid the subject as mental health issues are not something to be joked about and should be dealt with in a respectful and dignified manner and not treated as subjects fit for shameful ridicule. GOOD DAY SIR!" Nah, he didn't really. But it would have been great if he had.
