Ex-Man Utd boss Moyes hails West Brom veteran Fletcher: Superb person. Great footballer

Real Sociedad boss David Moyes is happy seeing West Bromwich Albion captain Darren Fletcher back with Scotland.

The pair worked together at Manchester United last season.

"Darren is a superb person and a great footballer," Moyes told the Mail on Sunday. "I had the pleasure of working with him and he was an even better player than I thought. He was great in the dressing room, trustworthy and had the best interests of the club at heart.

"His health problems were well documented but he never once complained. I hold Darren in high regard. I'm delighted he is relishing the responsibility of captaining West Brom."
