The funniest recent example of this was when he gave the Sunday Times this anecdote that they published in their profile of him last weekend: Nah, you're not giving me too much credit. I'm capable of observing when someone is trying to bluff to save themselves having to acknowledge that their captain is a little bitch. I now have images of Jesse Pinkman running around my head after reading this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans love loyalty but I think it comes back to the point I made earlier: Brown was comfortable at Celtic and, forgive me for using a tired cliché, he's been a big fish in a small pond. He never managed to take that next step out of his comfort zone to challenge himself or take his game to the next level. Maybe however I don’t think you can discount that the chance of him being the captain of a 10iar winning side being a significant motivation for him staying. That opportunity to write himself into the clubs history was surely a factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player, McStay was levels above Brown or Davis. I don’t mean that as a dig at either but Paul McStay was a Rolls Royce of a midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was captain of a side making history in Scotland and had the opportunity to be the first captain to win 10 titles in a row. Maybe that motivated him more than money, maybe his family didn’t want to relocate down south. Not a question I can answer Paul McStay was head and shoulders above Brown ability wise yet never pursued a career anywhere else despite being no where near as successful. I believe Paul McStay regretted not taking that Italian offer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, wonderful footballer who deserved more success than he had and a career ended too soon. If only he could have played that 1 more season and been a part of that squad that stopped the 10, it would have been the perfect way for him to bow out, no one deserved it more Edited May 11, 2021 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If on.yo he could have played that 1 more season and been a part of that squad that stopped the 10, would, have been the perfect way for him to bow out Tbh, he won 3 league winners medals and 4 Scottish Cup medals which is a lot of success and he also played when Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Dundee United were all winning trophies. It’s just guys like Brown, McGregor and Forrest have inflated trophy hauls as they played at a time when Celtic had zero competition. He was just a very, very good footballer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
