Really rated him as a youngster. I remember being asked by a welsh colleague who was doing some online manager game to recommend a promising young player from Scotland and i said Brown. Even ahead of young Dandies breaking through like Considine, Foster or Stewart.
He never seemed to kick on at Celtic but was still very good. He always got the upper hand against our midfield until about 2020.
His impunity and arrogance was horrible as an opposition fan. Still can't understand how he could jump on Marley Watkins, nowhere near the ball, land on his thigh and not even concede a free kick.
I really didn't want him at Pittodrie. He has won me over from complete hatred to mild dislike.
I don't subscribe to the view that he was good for the first few months. I thought his first few games were good then good games started getting interspersed with poor ones. Then the poor ones became more frequent. I'd say he was at 1 decent game in 3 by December.
No sign of the leadership we were promised.
Won't be missed but i don't bear any real ill will.
