    Yeah a few cracking stories about Gravesen. The one about going halfers on a car was good but my favourite one was when he was sitting with two holes cut out in the newspaper sitting staring at McGeady after Strachan's team talk. :giggle1:

    The one about him not wanting people to shout when he is about to shoot as well :rofl:

    More so than I used to. He still did very well for us.

    Anyway, that's only McGeady's side of the story.

    Gravesen was never a DM.

    McGeady was great in the Hoops but he comes across as a bit up himself even now. He must've been insufferable when he was younger :56:

    To be fair to McGeady he's quite honest in that as well, admits to having poor performances/moments in various games.

    I think in football there can be a tendency to pick on younger players in a dressing room, they're easy targets and less likely to defend themselves which McGeady obviously did.

    Really enjoy these episodes. Simon Ferry is good at interviewing as well. Maybe a future Celtic tv host as someone else mentioned?

    Very good interview with McGeady where he tells some good inside stories about his time at Celtic involving Lenny, O'Neill, Strachan and the players he played alongside. Interesting to see him admit that at times he was a bit too big for his boots when he was younger, comes across well.

    How did McGeady actually get on at SM? I never really heard anything about him, did their fans rate him?

    Was regarded as the best player in Russia at one point, then I think a new coach wasn't keen on him.

    Aparently Sunderland only paid £250k for him , great signing for that kind of money
