Darren Jackson becomes most animated when he talks about coaching. He spent a little under three years working with the first-team squad at Dundee United and those times seemed alive with promise.
They ended abruptly when the manager, Jackie McNamara, and the rest of backroom staff were effectively sacked in September, but Jackson remains emotionally tied to the club and the squad,. Jackson was a talented, feisty, committed player. He missed the intensity of the game, its grip on his nerve and moods, when he worked as an agent following retirement.
How could it after a career littered with such highs and lows? Even the beginning was dramatic, since Jackson went from playing for Meadowbank Thistle at Cowdenbeath to sitting on the bench at St James's Park for the visit of Arsenal. He was 19 when he moved to Newcastle United and was immediately thrust into the first-team. Following two years at Newcastle, there were four years at Tannadice that started with Jackson injuring his ankle four minutes into his debut.
He played a further three reserve games before acting on observations that he was walking oddly.
