- #BurnsNight seemed like the perfect night to start our look back at an epic weekend in the Scottish Capital. When legends and fans from around the world gathered to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Edinburgh Branch of the Manchester United Supporters Club there were many highlights. In this episode we shine a spotlight on Brian McClair who stole the show with his distinctive brand of dry humour and insight. WARNING: This video includes strong language.
The video also includes a special 'tribute' to Eric Cantona's kung fu kick at Crystal Palace - which shocked the world on this very night 27 years ago. Choccy puts a hilarious slant on the story telling his own unique version of how 'The King' clocked the hooligan and what Sir Alex Ferguson said to Eric in the dressing room afterwards.
For those who witnessed this wonderful weekend at the beginning of October 2021 the memories will never fade. Lou Macari, Martin Buchan, Archie Know, Norman Whiteside, Jim McCalliog and David Beckham's father Ted are all featured.
Also featuring Edinburgh piper Lousie Marshall, Edinburgh MUSC chairman Peter Wood, his right hand man Gordon Horn and the Voice of Old Trafford Alan Keegan, this is a tailor made film by John Gubba.

Thank you Brian McClair for being such a legend on and off the pitch. Stylish, entertaining, hilarious and a quality guy 🙏🤩🥂⚽️❤️🏴
Totally agree ....when Chocky came to Utd, the goals .Certainly started flying in , my personal favourite. £850,000 BARGAIN
@@wg3063 pound for pound one of our best ever signings
@@JohnGubbaTV totally agree
One of the most underrated players in uts's history...ever! ....superb player.
intelligent footballer ❤️
I met Brian and Viv Anderson the day they signed for us then he came to my School ( Burnage High ) with City Player Paul Stewart and he actually remembered me from our meeting at Old Trafford , I couldn't believe it a lovely man and the first Player since the Great George Best to score 20 League Goals in a Season . Godbless Choccy 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
Wow. What a great story. Thanks for sharing Carl.
@@ManUtdTheReligion Your so Welcome from Carl Best Turner 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
good celtic man is choccy it never leaves you
That was brilliant by Choccy. I remember watching him in his first season when he was the first United player since George Best to score 20 league goals in a season. The media made a big thing about this stat. And when Brian got asked about this personal achievement a few years later in his own inimitable way he just shrugged his shoulders and said “so what”.😀
Brilliant 👏👏 A very funny man and absolute gentleman. Good times, good memories. Always a fav ❤️🇾🇪
Talented on and off the pitch. And a quality guy 🤩
John this is a great video you’ve put together……brought back so many memories for me. The whole weekend was made all the more special by the people who came along as our guests. Brilliant mate, just brilliant !! Thank you for everything you do🇾🇪🙏❤️
Peter I should be thanking you my friend. You put on one of the best weekends ever. Absolutely fabulous. And your mate Choccy was pure genius. Tell Brian the average view is only just over 10 mins so most people have not seen all his material. But I’m sure what fans have seen has left everyone wanting more even if it’s more of the same. You can’t beat Choccy live. JG ❤️
Brilliant. I was there at Highbury. Ffs MClair. The train back to Manchester was miserable. Great video that.
Quailty that you there at Highbury. We had some good wins there on other occasions. Remember when we battered arsenal’s league champions there 6-2 in league cup in 91.
I was there too. Took ages to get away on the coach cos of the traffic
Miserable ride home. Brilliant player tho
I was at highbury that day too, was outside when when we heard we had got a pen, lively as fuck with the cockneys and got a lot livelier when we saw the ball cross the Thames, good days, thank you Brian a true Utd legend
That was excellent John really enjoyed it 👍 😀
Thanks so much Pat. Means a lot to have regulars who return to watch my videos. JG
@@ManUtdTheReligion I shared this to all in MMMF. Keep up the good work pal. Integrity is everything 🙌 👏
That’s just what i needed , nice one
Thanks for watching Mike. 🙏
Absolutely Brilliant. Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching. Cheers
Brian was a excellent talent, a really hardy scrappy striker. Im glad he is looking very well and is still as cold but very funny as always :) a true Scotsman. Big respect Mr Brian McClair......From a Lfc fan
Thanks for commenting my friend. I miss the days of respectful banter. Brian is one of the great characters from yesteryear with an absolutely fabulous sense of humour and dry wit. All the best. JG
My first fav United player. Total legend
Humble, funny, intelligent, original. Paul Ince gave him a big kiss after a goal, I'd like to do the same.
Thank you thank you thank you. Loved that, new subscriber here…
Much appreciated Ryan. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. JG
Brilliant stuff this. Loved Choccy as a kid.
Watched McClair,Robson and Cole last night at Cheltenham town hall they were brilliant especially McClair what a funny man.
As a Liverpool supporter McClair and Hughes use to really get on my nerves lol,Saying that,Brian and Mark were great players,good to see Brian looking well just glad he not playing football anymore lol.....Bless
Brian’s timing is still impeccable. Thanks for watching.
great player,my hero growing up
Good guy to have as your hero
My best memory of you was manchester united v spurs at home 86/87 1.0 utd I was stood in the then scoreboard paddock thinking I was hard man at 16 yes old great goal chox
I'm a Liverpool fan but belong to a tradition of football. A fabulous speaker and clearly a great night!
Thanks for commenting Steve. And well played your fans for their incredible applause for Ronaldo at Anfield on Tuesday. This is the spirit that unites football fans
Wow, he looks so different
Brilliant player on and off the park he was a legend at Celtic Mc Clair and Mo Johnston what a partnership they had. And then Mclair at man utd he was excellent player and srill worked at man utd wen he retired from playin he's just a legend and its true what he says with old generations and new generations players nowadays just goes to show ya how football is nowadays and what it was like wen brain mc Clair played and then u go away back to the days of Charlton law n best legends never die they go on forever
Great comments my friend. True legends are with us forever
Choccy the legend.
But everywhere where you should fucking be !
Superb .
Quality.
One of my childhood heroes great memories of choccy scoring at anfield.
Great memories to have Andrew. Thanks for watching. JG
Need one with both choccy & sparky....p.s choccy you shudda twatted winterburn!💪😂
Excellent
We need players to be more like today! We have Greenwood now!!
Many of players have been ruined by too much money too early. The older generations were much better role models with their feet on the ground. JG.
And sang for iron maiden too, not a lotta people know that...
He’s got the looks 🤣🎶
😂😂😂 excellent and a great striker for United a really funny bloke Brian
Brilliant 👏
👍
much respect choccy
Thank you Chocky.
love this
Cheers Richard
CHALKY,what a guy 👍💚C.F.C
Brian is an excllent raconteur, check out his Life with Brian Podcast if you haven't already
Excellent guys,thanks.👍🔴⚫️⚪️
Cheers Chris. Thanks for watching
Looks like a good night. It’s a pity the people who set the club up and ran it for the first 8 years didn’t warrant an invitation 🤔
That’s a real shame. I’m not speaking on behalf of the organisers but I did publish a video on this channel a few weeks before the event advising tickets were available. Pretty sure it was open to anyone who wanted to buy a ticket. JG
Jeez! He gets about a bit.... here's here he's there......
Sitting here in Las Vegas listening to Choccy talk about his memories along with Wes brown, alex Stepney and david May. They are all great at entertaining us. JG
I'f I could choose an era to play in it would be the 80s...f the money, these fellas played in an era where the magnifying glass wasn't over their every move and there was more loyalty to the clubs.
Most of the lowlands of Scotland and down the East coast, will be following Newcastle United as they enter a new era
Now that’s the definition of glory hunters
@@ManUtdTheReligion You said it......That is what Manchester United have lived on since the 1950's mate.
The pure Glory Hunters the likes of in Edinburgh as in the video.
The Jocks are more socially and geographically alligned with the Geordies, and the Newcastle fanbase goes from Scotland to as far South as Humberside and across to Carlisle, and down to Barrow in Furness.
Your religion will soon be wiped out.
The Saudi's are stopping your sponsorship to give Newcastle more lovely lucre.
But them Glazers are great lads 😆
True fans will always support the team whatever league we play in. For many of us our season in the old second division was one of our favourites. Billionaire and state sponsored owners have no loyalty to fans or club history and the fans will be there long after self serving owners have bled them dry. Whether that’s manchester Newcastle or anywhere else.
@@ManUtdTheReligion Aye, I remember how you banged seven colours of shite out of the poor Notts County fans at Meadow Lane in 74/75.
It's all about opinions, and I don't think Man Utd will ever rekindle the glory days of the Fergie era.
Times move on my friend, and you can be on top of world one minute and fighting for scraps the next.
It's usually the fellas with the most wealthy owners who come out on top, and Newcastle United(the only proper United, where the East of the City amalganated with the West and two clubs came together) will be serious threats to the Septic Six in little time at all.
Man Utd and Spurs in particular have been crying like babies since the Toon takeover.
The Saudi's have been sponsoring Man Utd for millions a year since 2008.
Total jealousy and hypocrisy, and all because the richest people in the universe bought Newcastle instead of Glazer's and Levy's clubs who are up to a billion each in debt.
Our owners buy paintings that are'nt even originals for similar amounts
Brian likes a drink 🤣
Brian is a character
Remember Fergie said around 91 he was his best signing(up till then of course)
850k and it went to a tribunal to agree price-biscuit tin Celtic wanted £2million -Utd were a bit biscuit team too Martin Edwards
Great times
Too right. McClair was such a great signing by Fergie.
@@ManUtdTheReligion yes-remember as a kid in Shoot magazine with picture of Choccy and a thing about him being first to score over 20 in a season since Best!!
He looks more like billy Connolly
And he’s just as funny
choccy fucking legend
He’s brilliant to listen to live
hi united religion please do a long 80s video on frank stapleton and gary baily or mike duxbury any thing from the 80s would be so cool i have a question for you i winder if you could help me is there any way of trying to get a team photo for manchester united in the 3rd kit royal blue i been trying for years to see if any one had one im not sure if clif buttler had taken the full utd team in the blue kit so i was wondering if you could help me please scott kent
Scott it’s a long shot but I’ll ask around on the blue shirt photo. Thanks for suggesting an 80s piece. Would love to do a sit down with Frank Stapleton
What can I say about Brian McClair? Well fucking genius.
Love it. 👏
He's here he's there we're not allowed to swear Brian McClair .
God what an example to the young lazy millionaire’s. I remember watching him in the last year of the old first division at Nottingham forest. He ran himself into the ground hit the post twice from outside the box, hit the bar. A fighter never gave up. A true man United player
Absolutely spot on my friend. Current players could learn a lot from choccy.
Yes but the players know if they done an Arthur Albiston on the bus as a tiny example Talk Sport would make the next day about it all...then pressure on Manger to drop etc.
It’s all a real shame and I feel it for today’s lads too.
Just stumbled on this
Didn't like him as a player to be honest,I'm a rangers man 😂💙🇬🇧
But have to say that was brilliant from Brian McClair 👍👍
Chuffed that you stayed long enough to watch Choccy at his best. Cheers.
What's wrong with Hibs or Hearts?
Tell us. What’s wrong with Hibs and Heart?
So I'm a Rangers fan . Sir Alec decide's to take their (Celtic's) McCoist away and Celtic are like okay . They better invest the money well . I remember this ..if only we had a guy who could score 20 goals a season quote ..from a Mancunian ...fanbase Sir Alec ..knows a guy .. it went well for Man Utd. McClair Celtic - Man Utds legend disnae rhyme off the tongue like Dalglish Celtic - Liverpool legend ...why not . This guy ..got the ball fkn rollin .
Been listening to too much Billy Connelly….
There’s only one Brian McClair
Support hearts or hibs, gloryhunters ffs🙄
Sorry but you’re way off target. Non of these fans are glory hunters. Many travelled to Scotland from all over the world. United have not win a trophy for years now. These guys are some of the most dedicated fans on the planet. And many were supporting United since the 50s 60s & 70s
@@ManUtdTheReligion 🤣Aye okay. In the 50s, 60s and 70s when Scotland was very much working class and these lads didn’t support the team on their door step instead “travelled the world” to watch a team from Manchester? Alright👍
Embarrassing! Brian McClair looks older than Ferguson. Man U where shit til Fergie got there. Now he's gone they're shit again. No more league titles.....
PS Old Trafford has the worst scoreboard in the football league (All divisions)
Clearly you have issues.
Good deadpan style delivery but definitely needs better material, most of the punchlines were garbage.
That’s harsh. Personally I think Choccy is a quality act and 100% natural. People in that room were hanging on his every word and enjoyed all his stories enormously. Truth is he was giving us real memories. It was not supposed to be stand up comedy with contrived punch lines.
@@ManUtdTheReligion they were hanging onto every word because of who he is and he's got good delivery style but his stories were by and large pretty crap.
@@andyhx Yeah well, let's hear your comical recollections of your career as a Man U pro.
Fanny
Why all the gratuitous swearing? It started to become embarrassing. It also reduces the impact when it is needed for emphasis.
There was a warning at the front of the video not to watch if you’re sensitive to bad language.
cracking video well done brian mclair one of my all time favorite players of manchester united
We love Choccy
One of the most UNDERRATED players ever!
Absolutely. He was such an important part of our squad. And gave everything for the team. JG
Absolutely loved choccy, in many ways he was like the Bryan Robson of the forward line, regular goalscorer , ran his heart out, an excellent player.
There are very few players today with the heart and dedication of a Brian McClair 👏
The long flowing locks and brilliant turn of phrase. Like a modern day Robert Burns.
Or the story telling skills of the big yin
Always been funny as fuck ,could be why he went with the Billy Connolly look?
His delivery is on a par with Billy 🤣👍
Me and my mate went to see McClair, Hughes and Blackmore in Chester. Brian absolutely stole the show then. Such a brilliant story teller.
Brilliant 👏🏼
cheers Jon your support always very much appreciated.JG
Brilliant stuff, and for all his fucking around behind it all he was a true pro and a hell of a player for utd, scored some great goals
McClair was quality on the pitch. And now he’s quality off it.
Had the great pleasure of meeting these and other players at OT . Sorry but Martin was the most boring person off the field, however Lou and Brian always had time to speak to the fans, Great on and off the field. UTID
They’re all quality in their own way.
Watching Archie Knox in this is gold - brilliant
Well done to the Edinburgh Reds. Brian is a great speaker and a lot of what he says is very true. Great seeing Lou, Martin and Archie, names I will always remember unlike some of the players now. I will always remember the emotion in Lou's voice commentating on the radio after United got that 2nd goal in 99, he has a great love for the club. Enjoyed watching this you tube and will watch again
Wonderful comments Eugene and thanks so much for watching. Lou is a wi WedFilm human being. And Brian is a unbelievably funny guy.
@@ManUtdTheReligion your welcome, only wish I was there, I know a lot of the supporters from the 70s will love watching this and like I say will be watching again
Chocky ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Choccy pure class
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Where's your Keffiyeh Choccy? We know your a man of the Revolution...Free Palestine..
Choccy ... fucking LEGEND!!!👌....but joking aside his miss v barca in the cup winners cup final was far worse than his penalty miss v arsenal!.…. But his best goal was his overhead kick in the 3-1 win over the scousers 👌🔥
Choccy will love your memories 👍🏼
What a character Choccy is.
Now got a craving for lou macs fish n chips😂
Fish n 🍟
Martin Buchan...what a player
Legend
One of my all time favourites, what a player keep your Alan Hansen!
Terrific, always loved Choccy, class as a player and a man.
Still waiting to find out why My Mrs and I got bumped by the #EdinburghReds after the 2015/16 season 😕 Broke my heart so it did 😕
That’s a shame. You need to speak to Peter wood.
Ohhh chockie lad you are still to this day bringing us joy thanx chox brilliant story and I belive you chose the this the one song and why I would love to know ❤
Choccy is a class act
i was at the fa cup game massive united crew there
Our away support has always been awesome
My first hero.
When he left Celtic, I vowed I’d follow his career and they would be my 2nd team.
Been United ever since 👍🏼💚❤️
I was gutted when he left us, great player.

@@limericklad2000 totally understandable.And thanks for watching my content, I really appreciate it. Sadly the revenue we get from YT is so very small; that it covers less than 1% of my costs.
