Gordon Strachan reveals drunken Man Utd carnage and telling off 'rude' Gary McAllister at Leeds

Gordon Strachan has recalled ending up in the boot of a car the night he arrived at Manchester United, after a 'horrendous' night out with teammates Bryan Robson and Gordon McQueen.

"And I burned my backside that night I was that drunk. You know these iron bars in your bathroom? I fell on that and burned my backside - I had a whole scar right up my backside. So that was going out with McQueen and Bryan Robson."

Elsewhere in the podcast, Strachan also spoke about some of the best players he had shared the pitch with - when an incident with Gary
