Former Celtic man Lou Macari tells fantastic anecdote about Stein and Manchester United

Lou Macari has talked about his tumultuous transfer from Celtic to Manchester United. The Quality Street gang member, alongside Kenny Dalglish and Danny McGrain, was a massive Celtic supporter. However, after the death of his father, and with a family on the way, Macari needed a bump in his pay packet. Earning £55 a week at the time, Macari asked manager Jock Stein for an extra tenner to make ends meet.

Undeterred, the ex-Scotland international has responded to the situation by installing new glamping style pods.

Lou Macari has detailed how he was forced to adapt to the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic to keep his homeless shelter in Stoke-on-Trent open. The former footballer, who played more than 400 matches for Manchester United, had 40 people using his shelter when the pandemic struck in March last year and the dormitory-style accommodation was no longer deemed safe and suitable.
