Ryan McGowan, one of Ange Postecoglou's former players, has spoken about "the worst 16 hours of my life" after having to sit next to the new Tottenham Hotspur head coach on a long-haul flight.
The 33-year-old St Johnstone defender found himself on the wrong end of his fellow Australian's sense of humour during a flight from Sydney to Dubai. It ended up being a difficult journey for McGowan when he realised that it had been set up for him to sit next to the national team boss.
"I'd been up to a bit of mischief with some of the senior boys beforehand, which I now seriously regret," he said on the Sacked in the Morning podcast with ex-Scotland managers Gordon Strachan and Craig Levein back in December. "I was at Hearts on my £100 a week and I used to put all my coffees on the senior boys' rooms because they could obviously afford it, but I didn't know they could pick the seats when we were flying from Sydney to Dubai.
