doesn't give a real insight into a pretty great man. In the back of my mind his words were being narrated by Jim bullseye Bowen not a lively man from Ayrshire. The only hint being calling jock stein John. portrays him as good to his family be a use he feels that is the expected and two faced and malleable with his players
