Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Albertz, in my lifetime, also, my favourite left footed player was lovenkrands, I just found his pace exciting. Some great finishes as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboscot 1,176 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Coop for me as Baxter was before my time.On the subject of power, watching some of Davie's free-kicks, I don't think there would be much between him and Albertz. The big man certainly had a dig on him but the speed that the ball hits the net when Cooper scored that one past Leighton in the League Cup final is every bit as fast as Jorg's screamer against the beggars at Ibrox in the ne'erday match that Erik Bo scored the winner in.

TAFKA 545 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Baxter then Cooper.Honourable mentions to Albertz, Dave Smith, Numan, Neil McCann, Kenny Watson, Butcher, Charlie Adam (occasionally) and Ian McCall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartansmokie 36 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Without doubt, has to be Slim Jim, closely followed by Coop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 100% correct! Baxter and Cooper - just superb and clearly number one and two Dave Smith however is far too often forgotten - man of the match in Barcelona in my opinion and just massively underrated for some reason. His timing in the tackle was superb as well. A much better player than he was given credit for at the time 2 caps only - crazy!Great post and many forget he came back after not one but two leg breaks -- superb footballer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuistraHairDo 12,507 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 can't argue Baxter, Cooper are the best we have had, we've had a good few lefties, Neil McCann deserves a mention, A Numan aswell, Laudrup was two footed as was Mark Walters, Tommy McClean was just before my time, can't mind if he was a lefty? older bears will keep me right.I wonder if there is anyone with stats on how many goals and assists these players have had with their left peg. would be interesting I would say McCann would be up there for his assists.

flany-kpl 7 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was born in '88 so I'll stick to players that I've seen in the flesh. For Rangers I'd have to say Albertz but Frank De'Boer throughout his career could pick out some passes with his left peg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDak 806 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have to say, reading the list of all the great players we've had over the years it kinda makes me sad to think about the state we're in the now.I was too young for Cooper or Baxter but watching that Youtube vid, from page 1, makes me appreciate what a player DC was.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 was too young to see either Cooper or baxter but do feel Albertz over all game was underated. A lot faster than giving credit for.Albertz is no way underated, he gets the exact amount of credit he deserves, anyone who watched Albertz and talks of him will tell you he was a fantastic player for us one of the greatestOf course there is no shame in saying he wasnt as good as Cooper or Baxter as those 2 are among the greatest players to have ever come out of BritainTo say even Albertz is third superb recognition for him, god I loved the big german Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Albertz for me. His free kick against Them in the "Bo Andersen" game still ranks as one of my favourite ever Rangers goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
