Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E hia rau ngā kaitautoko i haere ki ngā huarahi o Edinburgh hei tohu i te matenga o Dave Mackay, ā, ko Sir Alex Ferguson te kaiārahi o ngā mihi. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o mua o Manchester United i tapaina te kaitohutohu o mua o Hearts me Tottenham hei 'whakaiti', me te kii 'ko ia te tangata maia rawa atu i te ao'. Ko Mackay, i whakatakotoria ki te okiokinga i Edinburgh i te Turei, i mate i te timatanga o tenei marama i te 80 o ona tau, a - e ai ki a Ferguson - me nui ake nga kapu mo Scotland i a ia. I whakawhiwhia e Sir Alex Ferguson he mihi whakahirahira ki a Dave Mackay, te kaitiaki o mua o Tottenham i tana tangihanga i te Rātū. Ka tae atu a Ferguson ki Hearts'Tynecastle i te ahiahi nei i mua i te arahi i nga mihi. I noho a Ferguson i roto i te kamupene rongonui, me te tangata o mua o Manchester United a Denis Law (kua hoki mai ano). I rārangi ngā kaiwhaiwhai ki ngā huarahi o Edinburgh ki te tuku i te kaitakawaenga o mua ki te tuku i a ia e tika ana.

I tae atu hoki a Denis Law, Frank McLintock, Ian St John, Alan Mullery me Bertie Auld ki tana tangihanga i te taone nui o Scotland, me te roopu i wehe atu i tana Tynecastle aroha mo te ratonga whakamaharatanga i te taone nui. I wikitoria a Mackay i nga honore e toru o Scotland me nga ngakau i nga tau 1950 a he waahanga nui ia o te kapa rongonui o Spurs i te tau 1961. I whakaingoatia ia hei Whutupaoro o te Tau i Scotland me Ingarangi, a ka wheturangitia hoki mo Derby County, i wikitoria ai ia i te taitara Tuatahi o te Rōpū Tuatahi hei kaiwhakahaere. 'He kaitākaro whakamiharo ia,' ka mea a Ferguson. 'Kei te kōrero rātau mō tēnei maia nui i a ia, ā, ki taku whakaaro, he hē tērā. E mohio ana ahau ko ia te tangata maia rawa i te ao engari he kaitakaro whutupaoro whakamiharo ia, he tohunga ia. 'Ko tōna āhua, ko tōna kaha, ko tōna hiahia ki te wikitōria, ka taea e ia te eke ki tētahi kapa. A i whakamatau ia i taua mea mā te haere ki Derby...
Ko te tangihanga o Dave Mackay i tū ki Edinburgh i te Rātū. Ko te kaitakawaenga o mua o Tottenham me Hearts i mate i te timatanga o tenei marama i te 80 o ona tau. I kī a Ferguson he 'inoi' a Mackay, he 'tino whakaiti' I patai ano te rangatira o mua o Manchester United he aha i taea ai e Mackay te whiwhi 22 noa iho mo Scotland.
