johanhentze 14,019 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 "Don Ballon" it is called.. I think its "101 great goals" view on things, but none the less - our very own Lewis MacLeod on 48. place.Here is the full list...http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/the-top-101-youngsters-in-world-football-don-balon-list-2013/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don81 2,832 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Good to see him getting recognition even though he's playing in league one, a legend in the making if his head isn't turned by the big bucks at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCR1 1,490 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd live for him to hang around but the way things go these days it's highly unlikely he will if he keeps up playing the way he has been Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,201 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well in Lewis. He is an outstanding young player and deserves all the praise he is getting. Goes to show you Rangers can and do develop their own young talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,019 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Slightly overrating him.Is it? I don't think it is "overrating" him as a top 101 player when he plays regularly for Rangers even if its league 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yet)He is far better than any other young player in Scotland regardless of the division he is playing in. Black and Peralta are seasoned pros who have been capped on numerous occasions for their countries so hardly comparable. Does it hurt you to praise Lewis?

johanhentze 14,019 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 It is aye.Well, we have to disagree on that one.I must say that this attitude is very similar to what I experience back home, which is a very small country. This whole attitude of "we are shite" and whenever someone is praised and compared to some of the best around then people are quick to say "is he fuck" etc.. We, along with countries like Scotland, who suffer from this, should be more like Iceland. They believe in themselves and are proud of themselves as well - they are doing alright for a country with 300.000 inhabitants! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally uses different formations and players to suit them. He is also on the record as saying he is wary of burning out young talents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
