Jim Leighton rejoined Aberdeen for the third time in is career. Having had two spells at the club as a player and then joining the coaching staff after retiring Jim was shockingly sacked by Mark Mcghee not long after Mcghee joined the club. Mcghee wanted to bring in his own man Colin Meldrum.
I don't think it was any coincidence that Jamie Langfield made a few errors in the first couple of games after Leighton left.
Langfield has not really been the same under Meldrum but hopefully he will get back to his best now Jim is back.
I am delighted to see Jim Leighton back, he is a first class goalkeeper a great coach.
Jim himself must be delighted to be back, I remember hearing an interview with him on BBC Radio Scotland not long after he left Pittodrie and he sounded gutted.
It is no surprise that Brown had brought him back as he was Leighton's Manager at international level and Archie Knox also worked with Jim at both Aberdeen and Manchester United.
Welcome back Jim.

Hope it helps cut out the mistakes made by both our goaliea in matches this season, as they have gone on to be costly mistakes but the rest of the team need to cut out their mistakes as well.
ReplyDeleteFrom front to back we need a team fighting for each other.
Hope Jim Leighton along with Craig and Archie can turn this lot around or show a few of them the exit door.
Craig Brown can always get his brother Rev Bob in Aberden to get guidance from above if he needs some help.
