Lee Wilkie would've been our captain and a scotland great had it not been for his horrendous injury.

John Kennedy was an average centre half and his almost mythical status he is held in by some is unwarranted.

I'd probably agree with the first statement, especially gaining experience under Weir

John Kennedy was playing for a very good celtic team under martin o'Neil and was being linked with ac Milan before his injury.

Sorry to contradict you, but he did not. His goal v Spain was KennyDal's last at international level.

The goal v Belgium was in 78-79.

Belgium goal was qualifiers for Euro 84 end of 1982 in Brussels

Fair play to you for pointing that out.

:ok:

Aye, apologies, the memory and all that. 82 as Mitre says. Had forgot his first goal that night, a beauty of a finish too but his second is outstanding. But coming back to aaid's original point, performances like that were very infrequent in a Scotland shirt unfortunately.

Here's some grainy vid of the Belgium game..

By the same journo that linked izzaguire with Man Utd by any chance? :)

Always mind Kennedy up against Chris Burke at Ibrox one game. Cracking tussle by two up and coming players. Never worked out for either of them unfortunately.

Eh? Burke's had a good club career, with international caps. I don't think he was ever tipped as a ginger Messi in waiting.

That's got to be the wrong way round surely!? Kennedy was an outstanding prospect and Wilkie, well, wisnae! :lol:

never said he has had a bad career mate, far from it. He was a real exciting prospect when he broke into the team though. I just felt he might have have gone on to bigger and better things that's all, for club and country.
