Scotland Star: Ferguson's phone call to congratulate our team on the victory was unbelievable

Live bar on December 28, Scotland star Dick Campbell was interviewed about his exchanges with former Manchester United manager Ferguson.

Campbell's team defeated Morton and topped the table on Saturday, and the next day Campbell received a call from Sir Alex Ferguson congratulating the team on his victory. Campbell: "Can you believe that last Sunday morning, the phone rang, and it was Alex calling?" He said to me ' don't allow you to hang up on me again ' and to be honest I laughed, I thought it was Donald Parker (former Midlosian Heart Midfielder) calling. ”

He changed his phone number so it was a strange call, and the first time I got it I said, 'Who the are you...', and hung up. We talked for ten minutes afterwards and he said, Dick, you're talking to Alex Ferguson. I thought it was Donald Parker. I said, 'Oh... You only call me when I'm number one', but Alex says 'I'm proud of you and happy for you, go for it, kid.' Do you know how important this is to me? We achieved what we had achieved from a working-class miner from Biss Hill, and Alex Ferguson spoke to me specifically?"

Campbell is one of Scotland's biggest names in football and is also a very good coach, having coached the team 10 promotions in his 33-year coaching career. Arbroath's 3-0 win over Dunfermline yesterday gave the team even greater hope.

Campbell said: "Every team in our league wants to at least make the playoffs, I don't care, I just want to stay in the league." My biggest asset is the colleagues around me, I don't seem to be doing anything, I just fill the water bottle there with water. ”

The town of Arbroath has a population of about 23,000 and its football club now has 1,000 season pass holders, and the club's president is Mike CapitaLand. Campbell said: "As a coach, I respect the game more now, the saddest thing is that I have cancer, I sit with my three sons, and my brother, and the doctor tells you, it could be two months, it could be two years. They sat with their heads in their hands and I said, 'Finish the operation.' I woke up in the morning and I was happy to wake up in the morning. I'm 68 years old and I hope I can live to be 88 because I still think I'll be involved in football. ”

retire? Going shopping? I'm also a golfer and love all these things, but I'm not planning on retiring. Maybe my health will make me retire, but I've been a coach for 33 years. Do you know what you need as a coach? Do you know what you need as a father? Do you know what you need in life as a person? That's natural passion, and that's what you need in life. Instead of damn pessimism, this is the card you've got, take care of that. ”
