Cooper230395 2 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 When a player we know little about comes into the team, most of us think we know enough about fitba to make a judgement on whether he's good enough after only 90 mins. Bert Konterman is probably one of the best examples and I reckon first impessions are right 90 % of the time.Since the Souness era, what players have proved you wrong and gone on to become memorable Gers players?Big Hateley is defo one but I can't think of many more - Any Offers ?

ronniemca 479 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 hope your not saying konterman was good enough.thought he was absolute pish.his comment about his mother learning him how to play just about summed him up.the man who made larsson into a celtic legend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper230395 2 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Aluko was the reason I started the thread - obviously far too early to say he'll be a 'memorable' success but after a handful of games we seem to be suggesting we'll have to fight-off EPL teams and get him tied-up on a longer contract ?

pcbear 10,924 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ally Dawson had a fantastic debut, that was his best game for us by a mile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ted McMinn, wondered what the fuck he was all about, but I came to love the big fella, entertainment value alone was worth the price of a ticket, I can't remember any player I loved as much and who made me laugh out loud since, and he scored some crackers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bufforbero 128 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ally Dawson had a fantastic debut, that was his best game for us by a mile.I remember Ally, he looked like being a great left back. But didn't he get a bad head injury in Canada? Then was never the same player.Ah the John Greig years. You kids know nothing of suffering.

Slippy 3 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm surprised Ricksen hasn't been mentioned yet.I would agree with Foster, he wasn't brilliant for us as he was inconsistent but it did take him a few games to bed in for us.As for Aluko, he did cost us a goal on his debut but his overall contribution that day wasn't too bad, although our team as a whole was poor that day he was our probably our best player.

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sasa Papac. I thought he'd be out the door pretty much as soon as Walter Smith arrived. Still slightly amazed at how great he's been over the last 5 years or so. Another one is MArvin Andrews, didn't he looked great at all when I saw him in a friendly against Newcastle but I thought he was a revelation during the helicopter season.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Willie Henderson....and I'm serious.

Senna 735 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Pedro Mendes could have stamped his authority over the SPL as the best DM, but he couldn't really be bothered.Kenny Miller, twice. Thought we had found a new McCoist first time and signed a journeyman the second. Totally wrong on both points. His goal against Monaco though.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sort of Souness era (ie not signed by him) - but Ally was poor when he first came here and Souness did not see him as first choice. But there have been loads slated that came on to a game - Hutton is already mentioned - I didnae think Davie Robertson was good enough when I first saw him and when we signed Klos I wondered why we had signed sucha small keeper (cause small keepers are shite !!! ) (shows why I aint the manager ) .. oh and Kerkar!
