Whatever happened to Jerry Kerr?
Went to my first Rangers game in a while on Saturday, and it turned out to be a cracker, even if the result wasn't the best.
My ticket was in the Jerry Kerr stand; what is it with Dundonians and naming stands after people nobody's heard of? Last time I was at Dens Park I was in the Bob Shankly stand. Looking at my ticket in the queue to get in I saw the word 'Shankly' and assumed that the legendary Liverpool manager must have played for Dundee at some point, but then I realised a) no he didn't and b) that was Bill, not Bob.
So I asked a steward who Bob Shankly was; he gave me a look of incredulity combined with disgust.
Him: "You mean to tell me don't know who Bob Shankly was?"
Me: "No idea."
Him: "Err... well... he, eh, used to play for Dundee."
On Saturday, I didn't bother asking.
