He said: ”I was in Glasgow and (Ipswich manager) George Burley had been phoning.
”It was a difficult time for me because I had just lost my wife to breast cancer and I was trying to resurrect my football career. I was trying to get back on the grass and play for Celtic.
”George kept phoning and there were some days I wouldn’t take his call and would think ‘it’s George Burley from Ipswich, again’.
”I wasn’t ready to move away and was visiting a grave every day for six months of my life with flowers. It was such a difficult decision for me to move on with my life.
”I didn’t make that decision because it was George or because it was Ipswich, it was more because it was a place such a long, long way away and I’d decided a clean break would be best for me.
”So going from the north west of Scotland to the south east of England seemed like a good idea. I went to Ipswich with great sadness and I was lost, really.
”I was on my own and Ipswich helped me get my love of football back. Once I made my mind up I was coming I gave it everything I had. I anticipated being there only a few years because you don’t know how long you will play for.
”I had a manager who trusted me and team-mates who were a pleasure to play with. We achieved some great things.
”I met the next love of my life in Ipswich, married her and now we have three great kids. So Ipswich will always be in my heart.”
