Jersey Jim Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Tony Fitzpatrick for his consistency and longevity and total love for the club, so he would be my favourite player. Frank McAvennie for sheer raw talent 1980-85 would be the best I’ve seen in a Saints shirt. Edited April 13, 2021 by Jersey Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put 5 past NZ in my first ever Scotland (and WC) game, then went up 1-0 with a belter v Brazil. I was soon to experience what 'glorious failure' was.

When Narey scored I fell backwards off my seat. But that goal just made them angry!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his peak you could have dropped him in to any team in the world, club or country, and he would have strolled it. This is where I already miss the emojis/likes. Like for this post. Just because one twat has misused the system admins have blocked them and I've wasted another minute or two of life when I could have liked it in 2 secs.

Shaundy Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Miller is the guy that clattered into Hansen and gifted the goal to the CCCP to get Scotland knocked out of the Spain ‘82 World Cup, right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Fergusons last signing at Aberdeen was davie dodds ; he also signed ralph milne at man utd .... i also wanted to mention dave narey ; ferguson thought he d be better on the deck than mcleish.... if you watch game v Germany at mexico 86 ; narey has some real howlers ; he was also handed his arse v cyprus away 89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 In reply to question tho ; has to the sweeper ; although as a kid king joey was hugely popular i went to lots of games in Eoin Jess prime , for every great game he had there were a lot that were bang average ; him and booth seemed to be intimidated by brown/mcpherson in my view loads of potential; next kenny daglish etc ( and same era as Dunc F...)
