Charlie Walker’s latest query finds him barking up the wrong tree somewhat.
“Gordon Strachan was involved in the ‘Copenhagen affair’, as the newspaper headlines put it at the time,” stated Lochee’s Charlie.
“Which other players were involved?
“I’m sure one was a team-mate of Strachan’s at Aberdeen and another a Celtic player.”
Gordon Strachan was not one of the ‘Copenhagen Five’, as the event came to be known.
The facts are:
A few hours after a 1-0 European Championship qualifying win in Denmark, a group of Scotland players were involved in an incident in a Copenhagen nightclub.
Things turned nasty when a light was broken and an altercation followed.
There was also an incident later on with Jock McDonald, an SFA council member.
Joe Harper, who scored the winning goal, Arthur Graham, Billy Bremner, Pat McCluskey and Willie Young were all given lifetime international bans from the SFA, only for Harper and Graham to be brought back into the fold a year later after being cleared of any wrongdoing.
Harper said later: “We were in the same place at the same time.
“We got the same taxi home and we were just put down as being part of the trouble.
“Arthur and I had nothing to do with it and we were reinstated a year later.”
