Former AC Milan, Leeds United and Scotland forward Joe Jordan is featured in the latest series. Joe came into the game at a late stage, compared to lads that came into the game at 15 or so, and he did unbelievably well in what he did, what he won. Eventually he got into the first team but he was a very, very modest individual and I liked him for that. Everyone knew very early on that Joe was a very determined lad, who was going to do what he needed to do. He came into a Leeds side that were a top team full of internationals and it wasn't easy for anybody to get in the team at that particular time.

Joe moving to AC Milan represented a vouchsafe from Italians to say "we like your guys, we like your quality". It was a badge of honour that AC Milan wanted Joe Jordan. The legacy he's left at Milan is partly to do with the fact he did play well and partly to do with him scoring in a derby. There's huge affection for him. There was a lot of debate in training [at Milan] about what you do and don't do to make a team successful and Joe brought an aggression, pressing and a closing down of players and a running after the ball that none of the Italians had seen or really believed in. One day a young Franco Baresi - through an interpreter - was saying "what are you doing? Don't chase, save your energy, wait". And that attitude was about to change immediately under Arrigo Sacchi. The things he brought to that training ground and that club, including discipline, including hard work in terms of what it costs to be a winner, he helped install that.
