I rejected Man Utd for Celtic and broke a gentleman's agreement - Sir Alex Ferguson blew a gasket
The man who stopped Rangers from winning a Treble was also on Liverpool's wanted list
Joe Miller was one of the best young talents in Scotland after making his name at Aberdeen.
So it was no surprise when Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to prise him to Manchester United in 1987.
After all, Fergie struck a gentleman's agreement with his former club, ensuring he would have the first option to buy the rising star.
Or so he thought. Money talks and United were priced out of a deal. Miller - born and raised in Glasgow's east end - was offered a dream move to his beloved Celtic at the 11th hour and the rest is history.
A huge fans' favourite, Miller played a key role in the Hoops' Double-winning Centenary season and famously slotted the Scottish Cup Final winner to deny Rangers the Treble in 1989.
But his career could have turned out so differently had he reunited with ex-Dons boss Sir Alex at Old Trafford - or moved to arch-rivals Liverpool.
Miller's £650,000 switch to Parkhead unsurprisingly riled Sir Alex, who accused Pittodrie chiefs of breaking an unwritten agreement.
Asked if the managerial great was miffed, Miller told the Let Me Be Frank Podcast: "At that time, yeah. I think he had an agreement with Dick Donald, the old chairman of Aberdeen.
"I think he was promised first refusal on me if I ever became available. I was looking to move at the end of the season.
"I didn't see myself moving to Celtic. Celtic came in at the very last minute, on the day that I signed, I never seen another Scottish club coming in for me.
"There was interest from abroad, there was interest from Liverpool and Man United and they were making it known in the papers every week.
"I was just sitting there, playing my football every week, and then after I signed, Sir Alex was saying 'The shackles were off' and he was coming in for the Aberdeen players.
"He was coming in for Alex and Jim Leighton as a result of me moving. I think he had an agreement with Dick Donald that he would have first refusal on me and he never honoured that."
