Somewhat ironically, I found myself pushing thoughts of the 'other team' to the back of my mind. The other team who had taken me from the sunbaked streets of Hamilton and set me on the road in my professional career. Stepping onto the turf at The Dell, I quickly realised that reminiscing was not going to give these fans what they desperately needed and thoroughly deserved. The situation if not critical was certainly precarious. I needed to focus on the task in hand and pledge my heart to the cause of reclaiming integrity for the blue half of Manchester, nothing less would assuage the doubts of the cynical. I wondered what could I possibly do to make this club realise that I was committed to that end and prayed to God Almighty that somehow, at some time, I could win them over.
