Who is davie weir

Home Odds. Bayern Munich Dortmund. Celtic Rangers. Toggle navigation Subscribe. By Jordan Campbell Dec 19, His eldest son followed in his footsteps by also moving to the States on a footballing scholarship but is now returning to the UK. An experience that leads to a year football career for one person does not necessarily work for another.

Based in Warrington, Cheshire, where he has raised his family for the best part of 20 years, Weir cuts a more relaxed figure than the one who patrolled the defence in the blue of Everton and then Rangers, and who later stood on the touchline at Ibrox as assistant manager. The same could be said about Premier League clubs lending their promising talents all across Europe. It is a role that the wider public are not overly familiar with.

He was carrying England at times. I played against him and he won games for Rangers on his own it felt like. Barry Ferguson: I played with him for Scotland then at Rangers, and played against him, and I never really knew how good he was until I went to Rangers.

In training, he upset a lot of people by how competitive he was. He could do anything; he could defend, he could run, he could score, he could create.

He was so talented. No disrespect to Birmingham or Blackburn, but I think he was worthy of a bigger stage. Mikel Arteta: He was a great technician, left and right foot.

Set-piece delivery was one of his biggest strengths. He caused problems for other teams due to his intelligence and he just had some really good attributes.

Nick Barmby: He's a player who went under the radar. His performances were eights, nines out of 10 every week. Could play in so many different positions, non-stop energy, made the team better. He had a real top career. He was a really underrated player. Wayne Rooney: I still watch Rooney now at Derby and he's still playing at an unbelievable level. You could play Wayne in any position and his technique and his quality are just consistency really good.

He has a real confidence in himself. He's definitely in the team. Duncan Ferguson: Although his career was interrupted by injures, he could win a game on his own. On the pitch, he terrified centre-backs - some genuinely good centre-halves, you could see it in their eyes. Even in the tunnel, you would look across and see they didn't fancy it. He had a real love for Everton, which gave him more. The German bought a one per cent share in Rangers in and, speaking three years later in , insisted he had no intention of selling his stakes.
