Andy Walker here and alongside me is Chris Boyd. I think together we've played under a number of managers in our time, some better than others. And I wonder, Boydie, what for you, what qualities does a good manager have to have?

I think for me, Andy, the most important thing is the man management. I've worked under a number of coaches that are very good

in the field, maybe not so good at other things, but if you've got that man management style

and you can work with the players and speak with the players, I always think it will take you that

a little bit further. Players will relate to you, they'll work for you.

I think that, as I said the other,

there's very, very good coaches, but, you know,

when you challenge them on stuff or you ask things

that you're not quite sure of,

and if you've not got that, man, manage itself,

how to deal with players and put your points across and it's very

difficult and for me that's why i'm going to you know walter smith i'm going straight into him

from the very first moment you come across him um that you know the stature's there um everything about

them i worked with him with Scotland.

You knew right away it was a more relaxed trip the first time we had worked with each

another.

The Kerrinkup, 2006, maybe something like that.

You know, with Scotland, but as I said, there was a more relaxed atmosphere to that.

But that was a good thing for us as players that, you know, if he was relaxed,

we were relaxed and we went and enjoyed that gentleman.

We won that.

But we came back, you know, and then the real stuff started with the qualifying for the Euros.
