The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Loved Neil McCann - We haven't had a winger in his class since imo.We have him doing a night in the pub in a couple of weeks with Derek Parlane - Really looking forward to itGM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB 599 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Great video Jules loved every second of it. My ever lasting memory of Neil was mid season winter break in Florida, team is training and the bears come up with, he's Blue he's white he's a tim but he's alright Neil McCann, He just about split his sides when he heard it and training had to be suspended for a wee break .

StewGer 606 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 One of the best I've seen at hitting a cross between the defence and the goalkeeper, the last of the old fashioned wide men. All this cutting inside these days really grinds my gears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,674 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Until recently we did really well with finding good wingers. Makes you miss it all the more watching that.As others have said, a brilliant, and often underestimated wee player. Continuing the Cooper-Walters-Laudrup tradition of being a mhank slaying winger.

markem 7,326 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Great vid, great winger.Beats manLifts headPin point accuracyLike him to this day, not sure he has the appetite for it however imagine he could do a good job amongst a coaching team.

Stoorie 1,088 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Does anyone remember him ripping us apart at tyncaste the season before he joined? Think it was a cup game. Watching him that night boiled my blood because we couldn't stop him and, when he signed for us the following year..........well. One of the best deliveries of a cross I've seen in the game, and he scored more than his fare share as well.We talk of "not looking back to the old-boys school", but this is one ex-player I'd love to see in a coaching role.Cheers Jules.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 enjoyed watching that. Neil was probably the last quality winger we had. nice song too cheers for posting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Fantastic video mate What a great wee player McCann was. Not only was he one of the last true great wingers for us but IMO he is one of the last true wingers worldwide. I'm not saying he was world class but in the past twenty years or so the old fashioned winger is becoming a dying breed. He didn't even need to go by a man each time. He simply dropped the shoulder, got a half yard and always put the ball in a dangerous area and always put his crosses in front of strikers so they could run on to them. His accuracy and consistency were incredible. A strikers dream. My particular favourites were the Lovenkrands final assist, the Albertz flick assist and the mauling of big Bobo!My first real memory of him bizarrely was when he was amazing for Hearts against us in the final at the mhanks ground. He was sensational. Thankfully we still won but when he signed for us I was delighted.His performance in the 0-3 game will always get the major plaudits however, his 2nd half performance in the 6-1 game against Dunfermline for me was something else. I genuinely don't think we'd have won the league if it weren't for him that day.Great player, and great guy. Always spoke well regarding us, even during our horrible past few years, and i'm sure that won't be forgotten by many of us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm not a massive fan of the Hall of Fame because of the number of people in it. However when you see some of the players in there it makes you wonder why wee McCann isn't in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the League cup final at the piggery on November 1996 and that was Neil's first season at Hearts after he joined from Dundee in July of that year.I thought Laudrup1984 was referring to the Scottish cup final at the piggery where we lost 2-1 to Hearts and McCann ran riot against our backline of Gough, Porrini, Amoruso and Stensaas. Shortly after that he signed for us when Advocaat bought him for just under 2 million quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,332 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah I was referring to the league cup final mate. Cheers.Yea mate! I remember that game well when wee Neil terrorised us that day and it wasn't the only time. If I remember right, the wee man got MotM that day and Sir Davie of Weir scored the 3rd goal for the Jambos right at the death to make it 4-3 for us.
