The legendary former Rangers boss, who broke Celtic’s hegemony in Scotland in the seventies, moved to England and after that Spain later in the career. Having won two Scottish trebles at Ibrox between 1972 and 1978, he headed south for taking over at Leicester City inside the English second division.
He led ‘the Foxes’ to promotion by winning the title and took these people to an FA Cup semi-final in a four-year spell at Filbert Street. Throughout his time there, the famously tough task-master coached a young Gary Lineker: "He was uncompromising, but his bark was actually worse than his bite,” the former England international told ESPN. “But it took a while to understand that. We had massive respect for him. He was very demanding, but as well he ended up being being hugely encouraging, too.”
