Former Scotland winger Pat Nevin has revealed the novel solution a member of staff at Motherwell once came up with to deal with an injury crisis at Fir Park - freeze the pitch so the game was postponed.
"I have a million stories about Motherwell. Some of the ideas I was hearing from people were absolutely amazing," he recalls."We had about seven players out injured and would have to play kids. This member of staff says to me 'if we get the fire brigade in to hose the pitch it will freeze and the game will be called off'.
"I never tried to be a footballer. I loved playing, but the idea of being a footballer was not something that interested me," he adds. He was an instant success though, and in his first season Clyde were promoted as champions with Nevin voted the Scottish Second Division's Player of the Year.
