Club career
He started his career at Dundee where he was their youngest ever captain, but it wasn't until he was signed by Aberdeen in November 1977 that he came to prominence. Dundee Football Club, founded in 1893 are a football team based in the city of Dundee, Scotland. With the famous Aberdeen team of the 1980s, one of the few sides to break the traditional dominance of the Old Firm in Scottish football, he won two Scottish League titles, three Scottish Cups, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson. The term Old Firm refers to the rivalry between the Scottish football teams Celtic and Rangers, both based in Glasgow The Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, usually known as the Scottish Cup, is the national football cup competition of Scotland The European Super Cup ( UEFA Super Cup) is at stake in an annual football game between the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup and the Champions Sir is an Honorific used as a title (see Knight) and in several other modern contexts Sir Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson, CBE, (born 31 December 1941 in Govan, Glasgow) is a Scottish football manager
In August 1984, Manchester United spent £500,000 to take him to Old Trafford in August. He was initially successful, contributing massively to their FA Cup victory over Everton in 1985, but gradually began to suffer a loss in form and eventually lost his place as a regular first team player.
Leeds United manager Howard Wilkinson came to the rescue in March 1989, when he paid £200,000 for Strachan's services. Howard Wilkinson (born 13 November 1943 in Sheffield) is a former English football player and manager. The transfer fee soon paid dividends as Strachan's strong form resulted in Leeds winning the Second Division title in 1990 and gaining promotion to the First Division after an eight-year exile. The following season he helped Leeds finish fourth in the First Division and Strachan was voted Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year. The Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year (often called the FWA Footballer of the Year, or simply the Footballer of the Year) is an annual award given A year later, he was instrumental in Leeds overtaking Manchester United to win the 1991-92 League Championship title in the last ever season of the old Football League before the creation of the FA Premier League. The Premier League, colloquially referred to as the Premiership, is an English professional league for football clubs Strachan continued to be a competent and regular first-team player as Leeds enjoyed mixed fortunes during their first three seasons of the Premiership, although he was sometimes kept out of the side by back problems.
Gordon Strachan remained at Leeds United until March 1995, when he moved to Coventry City to work as player-coach under new manager Ron Atkinson. Strachan was not a regular first-team player at Highfield Road, but he helped coach the club's players to a high enough standard to escape relegation from the Premiership in 1995-96.
International career
Strachan had a fruitful International career which included 5 goals. He appeared in two FIFA World Cups - in 1982 and 1986 - and it was in the latter that he scored his most famous International goal, a cross shot against West Germany in Scotland's second match of the tournament in Queretaro, Mexico. The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international Association football The German national football team (Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft From 1950 to 1990 the team was also informally called West Germany in English as since Querétaro (former formal name Querétaro Arteaga) is a state in central Mexico. His celebration was unique and comical too, as he attempted to vault the advertising hoarding, his relatively small height made it difficult if not impossible, so he merely rested his right leg on it as his team-mates joined him in celebrating. It was Scotland's only goal in another dismal tournament for them.
Early career as a manager
Coventry City
When Ron Atkinson became Coventry City's Director of Football in November 1996, Gordon Strachan was promoted to the manager's seat. "Director of Football" is a term describing a senior management figure at a football club most commonly used in Europe. He finally retired as a player at the end of the season after making his last appearance at the age of 40, at the time a record in the English Premiership. Strachan also helped the Sky Blues pull off perhaps the most unlikely relegation survival in Premiership history. After losing their penultimate Premiership game, it looked as though their 30-year top flight tenancy had come to an end. But thanks to a victory on the final day, a draw for Middlesbrough (who had been deducted 3 points by the F. Middlesbrough Football Club, also known as The Boro are an English football club based in Middlesbrough, who play in the Premier League. A) and a defeat forSunderland, they pulled off a miracle survival. Sunderland Association Football Club is a professional Association football team based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, which plays in Strachan kept Coventry safe from relegation until 2001, when they finally went down after 34 years of top division football. He was sacked shortly after the start of the 2001-02 Division One campaign.
Southampton
Gordon Strachan returned to management within weeks, taking the manager's job at Premiership strugglers Southampton - who had sacked manager Stuart Gray after a terrible start to their first season at the new St Mary's Stadium. Southampton Football Club is a professional English football team, nicknamed The Saints and based in the city of Southampton. Stuart Gray (born 19 April 1960 in Withernsea, England) is an English former footballer and manager, who is currently St Mary's Stadium is the home of Southampton FC in the city of Southampton. Most pundits had already written them off come Strachan's appointment in October 2001, but he turned round their Premiership fortunes and they finished 11th in the Premiership. The Saints progressed further in 2002-03 when they finished eighth and reached the FA Cup final, where they lost 1-0 to Arsenal. But since Arsenal had qualified for the UEFA Champions League, Southampton qualified for the 2003-04 UEFA Cup
A break from management
In March 2004, Gordon Strachan announced his resignation as Southampton manager. See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club The UEFA Cup is a football competition for European club teams organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA. He had earlier announced his intention not to renew his contract when it expired at the end of the 2003-04 season, but resigned even earlier than intended because he wanted to spend time with his family.
Later that year, when Berti Vogts stepped down as Scottish national coach, Strachan was widely tipped to take over.

Adrian Chiles (born 21 March 1967 in Hagley, Worcestershire England) is an English television and radio presenter Match of the Day 2 (otherwise known as MotD2) is a football highlights programme shown on BBC Two in the United Kingdom Renowned for his deadpan humour as much as his shrewd tactical awareness, quotes attributed to Strachan have become legendary among football supporters.

After this disastrous start, Celtic started to improve under Strachan, leading the SPL by as much as 20 points despite playing with a defence that came under regular criticism from the media and fans. A low-point was the shock defeat in the third round of the Scottish Cup to First Division Clyde on 8 January 2006.

Typically playing a traditional 4-4-2 formation, and very occasionally 4-5-1, Strachan is widely known for his rigorous management style, [4]and admits to watching video replays of his club's games two, sometimes three times. [5] He also places great emphasis on player health and fitness, forbidding his players to drink alcohol excessively or regularly, and often giving dietary advice to his players - attributing his own longevity as a player to a strict and somewhat unusual diet involving seaweed. Players such as Scotland international Gary Caldwell have attributed their success at Celtic to lifestyle changes enforced by Strachan.
