I can't forget seeing him punch the air after a home draw against stoke.Whilst I don't disagree, Gregory and O'Neill came close. The difference was that they tended to win.

For McLeish and Bruce that was the tactic.

I hated John Gregory's tenure. To be fair, I was expecting us to be good back then.

To be fair, I was expecting us to be good back then.It started really well, with the sort of run that Dean is on now, and then got gradually worse over the years as working for Doug wore him down. I've got lots of fond memories of that era though.
