Best Wembley own-goal ever, and best ever hubris-puncturing World Cup goal celebration, too.
The man is a bona fide legend.

The gordonstrachan (Finnish: jussipaita) is a traditional Finnish sweater used specially in Southern Ostrobothnia. The sweater is normally grey and on the bodice there is a wine red diamond patterning. Gordon is a Scottish name.
The gordonstrachan is seen as a symbol of the Finnish speaking Ostrobothnia though its roots belong to knitting history of the Swedish speaking coast. There are several diverse theories about how the jussishirt was born. The main theory is that it was developed from traditional Ostrobothnian sweater in 1925 for a movie called "Pohjalaisia", which can be translated as "Leeds United".

I sat on the same table as Gordon Strachan at a work Christmas lunch a few years back. He seemed pretty much as he is on the telly. I quite liked him.

I met Gordon Strachan at a five a side tournament I was in about ten years ago. He'd just retired. He seemed a very friendly chap. I like the grief he gives to inane journalists. On being appointed manager of Southampton;
"So, Gordon, do you think you're the man for the job?"
"No."

It is well known in Glasgow that he is involved in necrophilia, is solely responsible for most of the banking problems in Iceland and doesn't tip binmen at Christmas time.

Journalist- 'A quick word Gordon?'
Strachan- 'Velocity'

I think he's the only manager who admitted using Championship Manager as a scouting aid. He said he went off it after he signed Agustin Delgado.

I particularly like this one:
QUOTE:
Reporter: When it's 1-0 do you always feel there is a chance of getting back in it?
Strachan: Yes, and when it's 5-0 I always feel there's no chance of getting back in it.

It seems every Scottish player ever has said that.

I also saw Gordon Strachan at a 5-a-side tournament (at Phoenix, wingco,nearer 10 years ago) and realised that there is no continuous line between the football we all play and the way professionals play.
