@mickcarty Today, while watching QI I learned that "Dundee United" is Nigerian slang for "idiot" due to united's disastrous tour there years ago. Apparrently, most modern Nigerians use it but don't know that Dundee actually exists!
@mickcarty Yes. They mentioned that. A genuine legend.

Ironically the nickname originated from a tour arranged by the man who went on to become our most successful manager ever, rivalling Sir Alex Ferguson in Scotland.
