Terry Butcher - Scotland hall of fame!

[PaderbornCaley]

Butcher was inducted into the Scottish Football Museum Hall of Fame tonight. Not sure if the 'museum' bit makes it different to the actual hall of fame? Good on him anyway.

It could be Scotland's version of Madame Tussauds - as a matter of interest are there any other Englishmen on the list ?

The only english born person in the Hall of Fame that I can see in the list is... Andy Goram

There is now!! Along with a Dane and 2 Swede's(including Richard Gough )

Presumably Terry is the first inductee to be associated with an Inverness team.

Who will be the next?

[old caley girl]

A big well done to Terry but not sure how I feel about this really!

To be fair, Dalglish, Law, Best etc are in England's Hall of Fame http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Football_Hall_of_Fame - it's for the league, not the 50 caps international team.

Even allowing he only played for 4 seasons for rangers , hardly hall of fame material !

Given that he was also Manager of Motherwell, Manager of ICT, and Assistant Manager for the National Team, he has spent more time in Scotland than some of the players who might eventually make it into the hall of fame on the number of caps received !!!

PS: Inductees are picked each year by fans and a committee selects the eight finalists who are inducted at an annual dinner.

This has probably got as much to do with his "likeability" factor - probably got a lot of Rangers fan votes after the 3-1 and undoubtedly a fair share of Highlander nominees.

The fact that his background is so staunchly English makes this a very, very unusual "award" but again that shows his undoubted personality and charisma - and something that we could utilise for years and years.

First step to Lord of the North !?

Captained a terrific and successful Rangers side, brought Motherwell back from the dead, helped produce talents like James McFadden, guided them to a scottish cup final. Then he came here, brought us back to the SPL at the first time of asking, an achievment matched by only one other manager in the last 15 years who at one point was the national manager...yeah Butch is well average.

"While he is clearly immensely proud, it irks him that he has been inducted in Scotland before being accorded the same honour in England."

AND...

Butcher had even considered appointing Gascoigne to his coaching staff at first Motherwell and then Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Mr England in the Scotland Hall of Fame?

What next ? A statue on the mountains to the man who organised The Clearances??

[MissICT]

well deserved. He's finally getting the recognition he deserves. A true legend.

Wasnt there a Butcher at Culloden ?
