Index
Lou Macari was born in 1949 and grew up in London and Ayrshire. After being
taken on as an apprentice by Celtic, he went on to win back-to-back Scottish
League and Cup doubles with the Bhoys before moving to Manchester United in
a shock transfer in 1973. Macari's goals helped United win promotion back into
the First Division in 1975, and two years later he played a part in the winning
goal as United beat Liverpool 2–1 to win the FA Cup.
Macari went on to score 97 goals in more than 400 appearances for the
Red Devils and won 24 caps for Scotland, scoring five times and
representing his country in the 1978 World Cup Finals in Argentina.
After leaving United in 1984, Macari moved into management with
Swindon Town, and also managed West Ham United, Birmingham City,
Stoke City, Celtic and Huddersfield Town, winning three promotions, two
championships with record points tallies and two Cups. He now works as an
expert analyst for Sky Sports and MUTV as well as being a familiar face at
Manchester United on matchdays.
