And before her? (Any excuse to repost this crime of a photo op.)

It starts to get very tough to remember the order. Was Lamont (remember her?) before or after Murphy? Was there anyone between Iain Gray and Lamont/Murphy and if so, what was their name.

I'd love a poll of Scottish voters asking 'Tell us the last Scottish Labour leader you can name?"

Good but not perfect. You missed Henry McLeish between Dewar and McConnell. And Alexander came before Gray.

It's like a list of managers through a club's golden era and then subsequent descent into mediocrity. Names we all remember at the beginning and then a long list of spectacularly short-lived disasters before the club finally accepts it's new found position and let's an absolute haddy sit in the job for years whilst achieving nothing except an incompetently managed decline.

FFS. McCleish is from my hometown as well.

I once saw Henry McLeish in the toilets at Bayview, pishing with one hand and eating a pie with the other.

His ability to multi-task alone probably puts him ahead of Leonard.

didn't Gordon Brown smell the shitstorm that was coming Labour's way and fucked off a few months before the election after the indyref, basically flinging his replacement to the wolves?

edit: ahaha yep, had a look. Shat it, conveniently stood down as an MP in December 2014, SNP subsequently bitchslapped Labour in Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath in July 2015
