Synopsis

Alan Rough is the best-loved Scottish goalkeeper of all time -- not just for his shot-stopping skills, but also for his ability to laugh at himself when some of those shots did manage to sneak past his trademark perm into the net. In a career that spanned three decades he kept goal for Partick Thistle, Celtic and Hibs as well as earning 53 caps for Scotland. He played with some of the biggest names in the game -- including Alan Hansen, Graeme Souness, Kenny Dalglish and George Best -- and was between the posts for some of the classic moments in Scottish football in the 70s and 80s, such as Thistle's 4-1 League Cup victory over Celtic, the 1977 Wembley classic and the '78 and '82 World Cup campaigns. Never one to hold back, Alan Rough will tell outrageous stories of the extra-curricular activities of his fellow players, all told with the wit and intelligence that have made him so popular. With his 6-days-a-week football phone-in, Alan Rough's profile has never been higher. Now is the time for him to tell his story.
