aaid Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The word I'm seeing used over and over again to describe Craig is "gentleman". I had the pleasure to meet him and be in his company on several occasions over the years and he was never, ever anything other than that. A manager who was always very interested in the support and a bigger supporter of Scotland you would do well to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sad day, met him at many a Scotland events, and would always have the audience eating out the palm of his hands with his "coisty stories" or the build up so "so-and-so" game and getting the team ready. 94-98 probably has more treasured memories for me following Scotland than with any other Scotland manager.

scotlad Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sad news. An excellent Scotland manager and coach before that. Tactically brilliant, and aside from football always came across as a thoroughly decent person. RIP Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis_trap Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sad news! I always loved "Pa Broon". Small tear in my eye - memories of Euro 96 and France 98. What an era and team that was... Much of it due to the team spirit he installed in the group. At that time media gave him a tough time - not until recent years did he get the full credit for what he achieved. Scotlands longest serving manager. 1993-2001. Thanks for the good times Craig. Lets get to Germany for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sad to see him gone. I grew up during the 90s and his scotland teams were my first memories of international football. He deserves alot of credit for taking us to two tournaments and a play off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrie21 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 RIP Craig Brown. It was during his management era I started attending Scotland games in person. I loved his attention to detail back then. Some people didn't like the way he set up the team but the organisation was first class and we were very difficult to score against. Those teams that qualified for Euro 96 and France 98 were built on solid foundations. Sad news this afternoon, a great football man. A great Scotsman!

ceudmilefailte Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Great manager and will be sadly missed. Always remember him intervied after a draw for some tournament with Kevin keegan. Keegan was asked what he knew about Finland, he said very little. Craig continued to tell him about half the Finland team. It was the sort of details he knew about international football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were coming out the pub at 5 to 3 as usual and bumped into him. Derek Adams just signed for Motherwell from Ross County and jokingly said to him you're not here scouting Adams for Scotland already? To our surprise he stopped and chatted away about how he was aware of Adams from an early age and had recommended him to clubs before he got his break. He was really delighted for him as he knew how much effort he'd put in. Browns enthusiasm just talking about football was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
