Former professional footballer and manager Jim Duffy dropped into Zico’s in the Barras during a visit to Glasgow last year.
As a player, Duffy represented clubs including Morton, Dumbarton and Partick Thistle before enjoying a long and respected managerial career in Scottish football with clubs such as Clyde, Greenock Morton and Dumbarton. Known for his knowledge of the Scottish game and his longevity in management, he has remained a familiar face in football for decades.
It was a pleasure to welcome Jim to the shop and take time for a chat about football. Encounters like these reflect what makes the Barras unique—a place where supporters, former players and visitors regularly cross paths. Moments like this continue to add to the story of Zico’s as a meeting place for people who share a passion for football and Glasgow’s rich sporting heritage.
