Goalkeeper and Manager nominations revealed on 8th April

So far my picks:

McGrain Greig Miller McNeill
Johnstone Baxter Cooper Gemmill
Dalglish Law

 

[FFC Mariner]

Rough in goal perhaps?

 

[Teddy Bear]

Thinking either Rough or Leighton and Jock Stein for manager.

 

[Arabmariner]

I'd go David Harvey in goals.

We've hardly been blessed with top keepers....even when we were good our keepers were usually pish.

Remember Stewart Kennedy TB ?

Harvey

Jardine Miller McLeish McGrain

Johnstone Baxter Souness Robertson

Dalglish Law

Manager Stein

 

[Teddy Bear]

Kennedy - Overshadowed by Peter McCloy.

Kennedy - Overshadowed by Peter McCloy.

I dunno........McCloy never gifted England 5 goals at Wembley !

The one lasting memory I have of Peter McCloy was his torpedo dive (arms by his side as he flew through the air) in an away tie against PSV Eindhoven.

 

[Jaza_SFC]

Hansen?

"there's only two andy gorams, two andy gorams"

 

[Arabmariner]

Hansen?

I did think about him but went for the club pairing of Miller and McLeish which is exactly what happened to much debate on numerous occasions at the time.

I remember the English media (Jimmy Hill possibly) saying that comparing Willie Miller and Alan Hansen was like comparing a cart horse with a thoroughbred.

Hansen was a class player in a top Liverpool side but his style never really went down that well with the Scottish fans.He used to cop a lot of flak at Hampden.

"there's only two andy gorams, two andy gorams"

And none of them were any good !

11 Archie Gemmill's. He scored against the Dutch y'know. 

 

[FFC Mariner]

Kennedy is a bit of a hero round our way lololol

One of the great myths MF...........

It's funny but Aussies with Scottish backgrounds seem to love all that stuff......."my great grandfather came from Auchentoogle.....he was a McTavish (or whatever)".....

Truth is very few of my friends at school or work mates were Mc's.

Another great myth is all that kilts and bagpipes nonsense.......most of us cringe at all that stuff except where it's appropriate like Scotland v England at Wembley...  ;D

Pity Frank Haffey (keeper in Scotland's 9-3 loss to England in 1961) was playing for St George and Hakoah from 1967 onwards - surely he would be first choice as keeper 

ps Frank is living quietly in retirement on the Gold Coast. Despite the above dig - he was one of the best keepers to come to Australia.
