Peter Grant

I mean, I remember when he was training with Celtic, I think I was at West Ham at the time, and I phoned up Stevie Woods, and I went, listen, what about Craig Gordon?

And you weren't for West Ham?

Yeah, because he was at Sunderland at the time, and he'd been out injured.

I know.

And I said to Stevie Woods, and Stevie went like, you're not going to believe it, we've got him in the building.

I went, all right, okay.

He said, we're going to sign him.

Because he was training at Rangers.

I said, well, it depends, we may be getting forced into laughing.

Wow, so he could have been at West Ham.

Yeah, we would have taken him.

We would have taken him, but Woods said he was in at Celtic, and we just left it then.

If he was in at Celtic, fine, he was going to sign for Celtic.

You heard it here first.

Yeah, that's what happened.

James, he's a remarkable keeper, a remarkable athlete.

UK record for goalkeeper.

And the insurance payout was there for him, wasn't it?

As a young man, young footballer, and probably I think it was more money than he was going to get going straight back in.

It certainly would have been.
