Pat Nevin turned down opportunities to play at Clyde FC and then Chelsea because football was his love, not his career plan. ‘Chelsea couldn’t get their head around it. I wasn’t interested in the offer of fame and wealth.’ Of course, he relented on both counts and went on to win 28 caps and scored 10 goals for Scotland ‘I always saw myself as an outsider.’ Says Pat who is never afraid to retain his individuality and avoid peer pressure. That says Pat, is ‘gallusness - confidence without arrogance.’  When he and fellow university-educated Brian McClair, joined the Scotland squad, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hanson, tried to take the rip out of them but failed miserably. Pat and Brian had to be moved to another table. Outside football, Pat enjoyed a long-time friendship with legendary DJ John Peel. Listen to the podcast to hear Pat’s extraordinary story about his determined effort to make John’s birthday party. Pat Nevin is first and foremost an individual. His advice? ‘Be who you are. Don’t push yourself and don’t chase fame. You probably won’t get it and it’s rubbish anyway.’
