Watch new Icons of Football - on iPlayer from Saturday
Scottish football boasts a long list of players whose stories have transcended the sport and endeared them to the nation for generations.
From stories passed down from grandparents and folklore of famous goals, they have often crossed the tribal club divides to earn respect from all. Well, almost all.
A second series of BBC Scotland’s ‘Icons of Football’ profiles six more of the country’s most influential figures in the history of the sport in the country.
All episodes are available on the iPlayer from Saturday, 25 May and here’s a flavour of what to expect from each episode.
Frank McAvennie
You may think you know 'Macca', as he’s affectionately known, but the show reveals a side to the former Celtic, West Ham United and Scotland striker that has been rarely seen, until now.
One former colleague, Tony Cottee, describes his impact in England. Another, Mick McCarthy, details his importance in Celtic’s centenary year. And broadcaster Bianca Westwood thanks him for some of her fondest childhood memories.
John Robertson
A back-to-back European Cup winner, setting up the winning goal in one and scoring himself in the other.
He was a winger whose style is seen less frequently these days, whose main task was to beat his full-back and end games with white paint on his boots - as per his manager Brian Clough’s instructions.
Now fighting Parkinson’s, the man who scored the winning goal in Madrid to win the 1980 European Cup is celebrated by the likes of former Forest team-mate and friend Martin O’Neill and filmmaker Jonny Owen.
Joe Jordan
Jordan, or Jaws as fans came to know him, lives in rarefied footballing air. He’s scored at three successive World Cups and helped to lay the foundations at AC Milan for one of football's greatest club sides.
From close family friend Hayley McQueen, to fellow football icons Fabio Capello and Mauro Tassotti, those who know him speak with a fondness and warmth that is in stark contrast to how fierce and determined a competitor he was.
Willie Miller
Sporting some of the most iconic facial hair in football history, Miller captained an Aberdeen side that could claim to be one of the best in the world under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson.
His former defensive partner Alex McLeish talks up his on-the-park leadership skills while ‘The Gaffer’ waxes lyrical about his ability in the box and Graeme Park explains just how important Miller is to Aberdonians.
Jen Beattie
Beattie explains her glittering career with Arsenal started with a phone call when she was in her sixth year common room. A fearless centre-back, she fought her toughest battle off of the pitch while continuing to play at the highest level.
Arsenal team-mates Leah Williamson and Kim Little talk about the strength of their friendship, while club legend Ian Wright emphasises her football ability and legacy.
John Greig
Part of the fabric of Ibrox, 'Mr Rangers' is one of the sport’s great one-club players. He stuck by the club through trophy-barren seasons and led them through their darkest days.
From advice given to current captain James Tavernier to friendships formed with people such as comedian Andy Cameron, Greig’s story is one of Scottish football’s most fabled tales.
