On Friday, March 3 the former manager was spotted in Cockermouth, whilst spending some time in The Bush Inn.

Staff member Michael Graham, from Workington, said he was surprised to see the former Scotland international in the pub.

He said: "He was really nice. He had a crack with me about football and asked what team I support, and he was really nice with my bosses and the staff."
