manc_don Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Shearer Wonderland, out soon. Being serialised in The Sun starting tomorrow, first installment is about Pele giving a teamtalk whilst drunk... I'm sure the sun had to restrain themsevles from releasing that chapter Quote
Guest ally s Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Interesting stuff. I wonder if he mentions claiming the match ball after scoring a hat-trick in a preseason match at Brechin. Normally it wouldn't bother me but I won the fucking thing in the half-time draw! Had to make do with a shitey Brechin City FC football instead. Quote

Guest ally s Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Good to see you've got over it though Ally... As much as I loved the guy as a player I'll never forgive him for that!! Quote

Rebus30 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Apparently he's signing copies of his autobiography this coming Saturday at Waterstones in Aberdeen. Quote
scotfree Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Apparently he's signing copies of his autobiography this coming Saturday at Waterstones in Aberdeen. Good. Ally can go and ask for his ball back then. Quote
mizer Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 On a different note, I see that several papers have linked Dunc with the No.2 job at hibs. Quote
BigAl Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 On a different note, I see that several papers have linked Dunc with the No.2 job at hibs. Probably a tenuous link on account of being ex team mate of Calderwood Quote
Jute Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 Probably a tenuous link on account of being ex team mate of Calderwood Your are correct. That is reason being given in local papers down here. Quote
RDU_64 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 Going to be buying his autobiography. One of my favourite players whilst I was growing up. Unfortunately won't be able to go to the book signing as I will be toddling off to the Broadhill at the time. Quote
dickofthedons Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 It was a bit more than a tedious link, I think it was the EE that said they are good friends and that Calderwood is one of the few people from Duncs football career that he keeps in touch with. Quote

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I agree, it was tenuous Surprisingly both right. Quote
BigAl Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 Surprisingly both right. Et tu T.F. Quote
Rebus30 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Forgot to phone Waterstones and check. Does anyone know if they got a few copies signed to sell to "randoms" in the shop after the event? Quote
Kowalski Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Quite an interesting read so far, he certainly doesn't like John Inglis! What I found strange was that Big Dunc says he's never been one for getting boozed up but his book is full of incidents where he's got hammered / missed training / been late etc... When he recalled the goals scored for himself, Mixu, Booth and Jess in his first season with us, I nearly wept. We can't even get one striker to get near the figures that four of them managed in one season! Quote
tsr Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I can't mind any bits where he missed training due to being hammered? Was a good read, mental personal life he's had. Quote
dave_min Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 I can't mind any bits where he missed training due to being hammered? Was a good read, mental personal life he's had. When he went to see his brother when he was playing at Chelsea. I thought it was an alright, if unspectacular book. His daughter is hot. Quote

Reekie_Red Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 My old flatmate in Edinburgh is a hun. She always brings up the story of how she was in Franklyn's Piano Bar in Aberdeen in the late 90s, and snogged Duncan Shearer. She woke up the next morning with a huge cold-sore on her lip. Nice one Shearer. Spreading herpes amongst the huns since 1992 Quote
Kowalski Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Almost finished this book. Interesting that when he talks about clearing out the deadwood when he and Pele arrive at the Dons, it is Bisconti and Guntveit that are getting the criticism. Bisconti in particular looked very uninterested by the sounds of things. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Guntveit moved to Brann four months before Pele and Shearer were appointed. As for Bisconti, the problems with him and his French-speaking kids had already been rumbling on long before the new management team arrived. As with most of the squad that Pele inherited, Bisco was at his best in the 01-02 season where he commanded the midfield in such a way that he even made Darren Young look like a footballer Quote
tsr Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah, don't think he mentioned Cato to be honest, it was Eric Delemoux that he slated. Quote
