Brian John McClair (born 8 December 1963, Bellshill) is a Scottish former professional footballer and director of youth academy at Premier League side Manchester United.

As a player he was a forward from 1980 to 1998, notable for his near 11-year spell at Manchester United, as well as important tenures at Scottish clubs Celtic and Motherwell. He was nicknamed "Choccy", as his last name rhymed with the delicacy "Chocolate Eclair".

McClair began his career with Aston Villa on leaving school in 1980, but left after one season (in which Villa were Football League champions) having never played a competitive game.

He then returned to Scotland and signed for Motherwell scoring 15 league goals in two seasons.

A £100,000 fee took McClair to Celtic. In four seasons with the club, he made 145 league appearances and scored 99 goals.

During his time at Celtic, they were Scottish Cup winners in 1985 and Premier Division champions in 1986. In the 1986–87 season, he scored 35 goals in 44 league appearances and won both the Scottish Football Writers' Association Player of the Year and the Scottish Players' Player of the Year awards.

Daniel Fergus "Danny" McGrain (born 1 May 1950 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played for Celtic F.C. in defence. He made 657 appearances scoring 8 goals. He was also a Scotland international.

McGrain, a talented fullback described as a "footballing legend", was selected for Celtic's all-time greatest XI. He was part of Jock Stein's 9-in-a-row glory days, winning 7 League Championships, 5 Scottish Cups and two League Cups. He spent his final season of his career with Hamilton Academical, where he won them promotion to the premier league.

McGrain is a member of the Scotland Football Hall of Fame, having won 62 caps. He played best as a right back.

He played for Scotland in the 1974 World Cup, missed the 1978 World Cup because of injury, and was captain of Scotland at the 1982 World Cup.

McGrain is currently assistant coach of the Celtic Development Squad.

In 1974, McGrain was diagnosed as suffering from diabetes but was able to continue playing top-level football. McGrain supported Rangers (Celtic's Glasgow rivals) as a boy. He wrote two autobiographies, one when his career was at its peak and another shortly after he retired. In both, McGrain (a Protestant) told how he had been spotted by someone doing some scouting for Rangers when he was still a boy but the scout did not recommend him to Rangers, wrongly assuming from his name that he was a Catholic and that Rangers would not sign him because of this. In the first, he made some comments on Scotland's erratic performance in the 1978 World Cup, but said it could not all be blamed on the controversial manager Ally MacLeod.^{[citation needed]}

Bryan Robson OBE (born 11 January 1957) is an English football manager and a former player. He played in midfield for West Bromwich Albion in the late 70s before moving to Manchester United in 1981 where he became the longest serving captain in the club's history. He was the manager of Sheffield United, being relieved of his first team duties at the club in February 2008. The following month, Robson returned to Manchester United as an ambassador for the club.

Born in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, Robson began his playing career at West Bromwich Albion, before moving on to Manchester United, whom he captained to three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup. He also won two FA Premiership winners medals. Towards the end of his playing career he moved into management as player-manager with Middlesbrough. Robson had a good goal-scoring record; terrific anticipation, movement, timing on and off the ball; was fiercely competitive and brave; possessed high levels of stamina; tackled, passed well and was also a good header of the ball.^{[citation needed]} He represented England on 90 occasions, making him the sixth most capped England player of all-time, and has the eleventh highest goalscoring tally with 26. Robson captained his country 65 times, with only Bobby Moore and Billy Wright having captained England on more occasions. Robson is also known by the nicknames "Robbo" and "Captain Marvel". Bobby Robson stated that after Kevin Beattie, Robson was, along with Alan Shearer, the best British player he ever worked with. In August 2011, Robson was voted as the greatest ever Manchester United player from a poll of ex Manchester United Players as part of a new book, 19, released to celebrate their 19th league title win.
