I'm fine, thank you, Ian.
Nice to speak to you, Paddy.
I would have liked to have played that role, to be honest with you, Paddy.
Yeah, Martin was a character.
I remember Martin coming down when he signed for Aberdeen, a very confident player, fast, one of the best defenders, I think, over the years that Manchester United have ever had.
Very articulate man.
He was definitely born later, no doubt about that.
But Martin, from day one,
always had this, why should I be giving my passport away?
I'm old enough, I'm experienced enough, I can look after it.
But that was a club rule at the time, Wayne.
The secretary at the time, from Les Olive, right through to the secretaries, kept a hold of the players' passports because players actually could lose them, they could set them someplace and not find them.
And that's the reason why the club did what they did.
But Martin had no intention of...
the club having his passport.
He was the only one that got away with it, by the way.
He definitely would not let the club look after his passport.
Oh, yeah, there was a big man there called Sam.
He was a friend of Tommy Duck's or Tommy Cabana's.
And when we were flying as a team, playing really well and beating teams every week and we were doing really well, the duck very rarely had his training hard.
