Another side to Quinn?

My hack tells me that Balfour Beatty chief Leo Quinn is a fan of the Al Pacino film Any Given Sunday, which came out in 1999. Directed by Oliver Stone, it tells the story of an American football team struggling to make the end-of-season playoffs and includes a speech by Pacino’s character, Tony D’Amato – a rabble-rousing oration designed to get the struggling football team over the line. My writer says Quinn momentarily forgot the film’s name but knew it starred Pacino. All my man could think of, he later told me, was gangster movie Scarface and the memorable “Say hello to my little friend!” Pacino’s character Tony Montana utters before blowing his rivals away. Thinking about it, perhaps that’s what Quinn would like to do to the Aberdeen road the firm is helping to build, which it recently said had cost it £44m following JV partner Carillion’s collapse in January.
