Does anyone recognise this random bit of dialogue?

Someone in some advert says 'judging by that performance ... not a lot!' in a scottish accent. I would love to know what the advert is and what the man is taling about! Thankyou

It's Alan Hansen talking about the potential value of a amateur footballer. The advert is for Standard Life I think. It's one in the series where the babies/toddlers talk. The little boy is watching a park football match, in which his dad is playing, with his granddad. He says "Granddad, could Daddy play for United". GD says something like "I don't think so, their players are worth millions". The dad then makes a blunder and the opposition score. The kid says "how much is daddy worth then" and that is when Alan walkes suavely by with his dog and comes out with his classic line, and walks away with a hefty fee. So there you go.

That ad gets my goat. The look of unadulterated wonder on the kid's face because he's Actually Been Spoken To By A Famous Person - not just any Famous Person, mind but Someone Who Has Been On TV. The beatification of Alan Handsome continues. IMHO. End of rant.
