Clubs that the current and former ICT managers have played for in Scotland?

 

Wasn't sure about Alloa, Berwick and Clydebank however so I think this might be wrong!

[Yngwie]

You've got it.

 

Hughes played for Alloa and Berwick early in his career, whilst for some reason Butcher turned out 3 times for Clydebank right at the end of his.

[Scotty]

Indeed, although I actually left them out deliberately because none of their former players have gone on to manage ICT (as he went their after his 2nd spell with us).

[Yngwie]

I suppose the answer to another question, which clubs have ICT managers goen on to play for, would be Dundee Utd, Aberdeen and County.

 

What about this one : which former ICT players have gone on to be managers?

[The Mantis]

Yogi also played with Nitten (Newtongrange Star), possibly as a striker, before following the well-trodden route of Lothians non-League players to Berwick.

Probably missing out an obvious one, but I can think of,

 

Iain Stewart

Barry Wilson

Charlie Christie

Craig Brewster

Duncan Shearer

Les Fridge

David Bingham

Paul Sheerin

[Yngwie]

Was it our Paul Ritchie who was Lochee Utd manager for 3 years until this season?

[Tob]

Jeez that would take forever to figure that one out! Time better spent on the guitar eh Yngwie?

To start this off I'll say -

Sergei Baltacha

Charlie Christie

Iain Stewart

Barry Wilson

Les Fridge

Duncan Shearer

Paul Sheerin

David Bingham

Craig Brewster

I'm sure there's loads of others. What's Mike Sanderson up to these days?

[Yngwie]

Most obscure one : Ben Jackson (who?) : manager of the University of Sunderland 2nd XI. (who?)

I hadn't realised Paul Ritchie had been at Lochee United. It is our one! there's a small picture here:

I think I saw PR score his first competitive goals for ICT in a 2-0 win at Albion Rovers on ............. 9/11.

Naelifts was wondering if we should be playing football at all as we stood in the pub watching the reruns of the planes flying into the twin towers.

The rovers fans were chanting 'get into these pensioners'. So obviously when we went a goal up in the second half we were singing 'one nil, to the pensioners'

Nah, you're right Yngwie - the way you phrased the question means you can leave as many as you like out.

Brewster shouldn't count. He came as Player/Manager so didn't play then go on to being a manager

[Tob]

Player/manager for us and then went on to be Dundee Utd manager. Reckon that counts.
