But he reckons a refusal to let his body retire him comes with a responsibility to ensure the next generation know just lucky they are to have the “best career in the world”.

An FA Cup and Scottish Cup winner, who burst through at Aberdeen at 16 and skippered Dundee United, Fyvie could have bowed out long ago with a CV not many would compete with.

But, having signed an initial deal at Cove Rangers for a matter of mere months, almost six years on he is fighting for club and personal honours.
