kanjo 26,328 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 How could someone even stoop as low as to take the piss out a player's leg break. Sickening.It's Aberdeen....Scotlands most hated team mutually among all for a reason tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAP1872 138 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not even an apology? Think he might have apologized in court for the way it turned out for Durrant but can't remember if that is true, some other bears, Colonel Mustard perhaps?!? might be able to tell you.

Crespie6 334 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Geniunely Was one of the best young players in Britain. Even the English press knew it Up until that day....That bastard will get his one day, and I hope it's fuckin nasty and painfuli was milling around youtube the other day, and didnt realise the game i was watching was that one. holy fuck. i remember at the time seeing it, but jesus christ that was one horrible horrible challenge. i remember Durrant used to get a kicking every game - he really was exceptional. Everytime Wilkins was on TV, he used to rave about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewGer 606 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Simply one of the best timers of a pass I have ever seen, god knows how many of McCoist's goals he made with those through balls of his. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 for those of us who are to young to have seen him before his famous injury can someone explain what his style of play was like if you had to compare him to a modern day midfielder who would it be in terms of style of play and ability i.e Iniesta, Lampard, Gerrard, Xavi, Rooney, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delparlane 5,659 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Still have an old Rangers News poster of him up in the room behind me. Up there near the top of my favourite players list, just as Simspon is right near the top of my most hated players list. Even after his long road back from rehab, ID was a helluva special player. F*cking dynamite indeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 for those of us who are to young to have seen him before his famous injury can someone explain what his style of play was like if you had to compare him to a modern day midfielder who would it be in terms of style of play and ability i.e Iniesta, Lampard, Gerrard, Xavi, Rooney,Not sure who I'd compare him to -- certainly not Looney.He was a great reader of the game, a great passer of the ball and the timing of his passes made him a rare visionary.Add to that he could score goals and had a huge heart.If not for the injury inflicted by that animal I personally feel he could have been one of the top five best Scottish players of all time. When you consider that list includes (some before your time), Baxter, Law, Henderson, Dalglish, Cooper, John White (who died so early)........ those are the calibre of player Scotland USED to produce.... Durrant would not have been out of place in that list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 for those of us who are to young to have seen him before his famous injury can someone explain what his style of play was like if you had to compare him to a modern day midfielder who would it be in terms of style of play and ability i.e Iniesta, Lampard, Gerrard, Xavi, Rooney,Not easy to compare to any of those players but probably a combination of Iniesta and a wee skinny Lampard. He was a superb passer of the ball, with a great awareness of where his teammates were, but his greatest strength was his ability to time a run in or around the area and just pop up in space at exactly the right time. He had both pace and a change of pace, and had no trouble going past opposition players. Although he rebuilt his career when nobody thought he could, the ability he showed pre-injury was something else.Durrant and Derek Ferguson coming through together was one of the few highlights of the utterly shitey 85/86 season. A good indication of how promising they were is that throughout the darkest of the Greig and Wallace Version 2.0 years, we had always had a good midfield, with players like Russell, Prytz, Cooper, Bett and Redford (we were just shite front and back) but these two looked like taking us up to another level. In the 1-1 draw at the piggery at the start of that season they were fucking amazing. They were inconsistent (I think they were 18 and 17 at the time) but had so much talent, it was great to watch.

Spacecowboy 92 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 always remember when he mugged the scum left back (canney memba who he was) after getting the ball for the keeper just outside the box, sidefooting it past the keeper and then sliding about 30 yards back towards the enclosure.about 20 years ago IIRC.one of the greatest...... ever!
