Favourite Scottish Players

[+jagster]

So many to choose from here's one of the best

The late great Billy Bremner

1942 - 1997

[Harry Chibber]

Of my era it would have to be Andy Goram... basically because he was the only player that could compete with any other, in their favoured position, across the world.

to be fair, I haven't had a lot to choose from... John Collins because he scored against Brazil maybe

Nowadays McFadden or Fletcher

[+jagster]

Andy Goram probably the best goalie we ever had. I remember Stuart Kennedy  letting in 5

against England!!

David Harvey of Leeds Utd was a reliable Scottish Keeper

Of course there was always Alan Rough with the dodgy perm :015:

[The Mantis]

Probably Dalglish. Wonder how Durrant would've turned out without the injury. What a talent.

[Heilandee]

6 foot two, eye's of blue,big Joe Jordans after you.....ahhhh them were the days

[Scotty]

I used to go to Scotland games quite frequently and think some of the best I have seen have been the likes of the following .... Davie Cooper & Kenny Dalglish for their consumate skills, Roy Aitken for his determination and leadership rather than skill, Andy Goram and Jim Leighton who were both great keepers, and the defensive trio of McLeish, Miller and Leighton which was something else.

From TV coverage I would have to say it was always good to watch the clips of the likes of Jinky, Bremner, Baxter, Law etc and even some of the more modern era players like Jordan, Souness, Hendry, McAllister

If I can pick only one player as my favourite then it would have to go to Kenny Dalglish - entertainer, highly skilled, 100+ caps, 31 goals and by now, probably a zero handicap on the golf course  :015:

[Heilandee]

Sorry heilandee I think it was 6 foot 2 eyes of blue big jim holtons after you

The Man utd centre half

[Johnboy]

Davie Cooper for me, had it all.... pace, dribbling skills, the ability to put in a telling cross.... but above all that was the shot he possessed......

Can anyone else mind a couple of goals he scored against Aberdeen in the late eighties from free kicks....Legend has it that Jim  Leighton couldn't even get close to the ball when it was on its way back out of the net...!!  :003: :003:

[tm4tj]

deffo Jim Holten............in fact he should be considered.............solid.

[+Gringo]

Dennis Law and Joe Jordan would get my vote.

[The Mantis]

Back when these Predator boots came out, somebody was asking Davie Cooper if he was getting a pair, as they helped you bend the ball.

Cooper said 'What? If I wear these things the ball will be hitting me on the back of the heid!'

[+jagster]

Peter Lorimer could fair hit a ball

[DJS]

6 foot two, eye's of blue,big Joe Jordans after you.....ahhhh them were the days

and I thought it was Jim Holton.  Could have been either I suppose.

Dennis Law

Dave MacKay

Jimmy Johnstone

Jim Baxter

[Johnboy]

I was going to point that out too, DJS... my father used to tell me about all these legends....!!  :023: :023:

[Scotty]

Peter Lorimer could fair hit a ball

Its rumoured that Lorimer's shots (or 'Thunderboots' as he was known to many Leeds fans) travelled (with deadly accuracy) at around 90 m.p.h. :010: :010: ...... By comparison, one of today's greats who is reputed to have fierce shooting power - Roberto Carlos - can manage only 72 m.p.h.  :012: :012:

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Surprised there has only been one mention so far of the great "Slim Jim" Baxter.

[The Mantis]

Trouble is, he was nearly finished when I saw him- likewise the Lawman.

[Kingsmills]

Law, Johnstone, Mckay.

[Johnboy]

Willie Johnstone, Derek Johnstone or Jimmy Johnstone?

[DJS]

Maurice Johnston or perhaps even Saint Johnstone.  :015:

[Guest Get_off_the_park_Wyness!]

Back when Ruud Ghullit was one of the best players in the world he was interviewed and asked who his favourite players had been. He said Kruyf, Beckenbaur and Davie Cooper. Amazing that he'd even heard of a Scottish player, let alone rated him as one of the all time greats. :010:

[tm4tj]

Johnstone Bellshaw :003:

[gerx13]

The Lawman

:allhail:

[alternative maryhill]

Of those I've seen play, Willie Miller.
