Craig Brown: Former Scotland, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Clyde and Preston boss dies aged 82

Описание: Former Scotland manager Craig Brown has died aged 82.

Born in Glasgow in 1940, Brown started his senior playing career at Rangers but had his time in Govan cut short after he picked up a serious knee injury.

He moved to Dundee - managed by Bob Shankly at the time - and despite having had surgery on his knee, returned to win the Scottish league title in 1962 before a move to Falkirk where he made his last appearance as a player five years later.

The dugout was Brown's next destination, and after a spell as assistant to Willie McLean at Motherwell, he became a manager in his own right in 1977 as he took charge of Clyde, where he went on to win two Second Division titles.

Brown also enjoyed spells at Motherwell, Aberdeen and Preston North End, but it is his time with the Scottish national sides that he is best remembered for.

He led the U16s to the World Cup final in 1989, while no one has taken charge of the senior men's side more often than Brown.

He guided the country to Euro 1996 and the World Cup two years later - with that appearance in 1998 the last time the team qualified for the World Cup.
