I carried on my education and obtained a Degree. This stood me in good stead with all my activities off the field - particularly my involvement in the Professional Footballers' Association in Scotland of which I was Chairman, and in England where I have been a member of the Management Committee for the last four years. I would encourage all youngsters to educate themselves as far as possible, and know that this will give them a fuller meaning and enjoyment of life. It is through education and learning that we can ultimately achieve all our goals and desires. Education gives reason for the past, ideas for the present, excitement for the future and is the final 'hurdle' in ensuring a brighter existence.
Every child has a talent and every child has a dream.
Your children must have the chance to achieve the very best they can in life. The greatest gift we can give them is a good education. The world is changing faster than most of us can imagine. Computing power is changing everything we do. Education itself must have the ability to adapt and change as fast as the world demands it.
