I rate Klos right up there with Goram for us, but I don't think he was ever capped, so how could he even fit your description? Cos he was possibly in the top five goalkeepers in the world at the time, never had a chance to prove it. Jamie0202 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thinking of guys like Prodan, Kuztnetsov and possibly Jardel, it is amazing how fickle football can be. All were proven and potentially even greater players, but fate took it's toll. and unfortunately they never achieved true greatness or legend status, ON the other side we have guys like Nacho Novo and Marvin Andrews, who worked hard and became legends. And never forget, because of the hatred of us by football authorities and Scottish managers we had guys like Bobby Russell an Alex McDonald, even Derek Johnstone who were never given the chance at a higher level.

Shame he wasn't very good in any position. A legend however for that great one off strike........ Can remember a few days after we signed him he was playing for Holland and jumped up for a header from a keepers goal kick and he completely mis judged his attempt to header it and as he landed the ball hit his FEET! Straight away I thought ‘he’s utter dug shit’ and so it proved bar his windmill armed strike against the manky mob Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Rolle 514 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Cooper, Souness, Gray, Francis, Durrant, Ian Ferguson, Wilkins, Hateley, Laudrup, Klos, Gazza, Negri, Walters, Goram, Gough, Ricksen, Albertz, Van Bronckhorst, Gattuso, Mols. There are probably more that could hold their own in a World Cup winning side, especially those before my time (Baxter etc.) but these legends are the obvious ones off the top of my head.

dummiesoot 16,111 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I does not matter, ffs boyata could win the wc with Belgium.

Aye because he did ? 3 hours ago, tannerall said: No. I don't mean Guivarc'h. I mean, how many Gers players would have been consistently world class for a World Cup winning team ? I'll start with Baxter, Souness, Gascooigne and Laudrup. Honourable mentions for Jardine, Henderson, Gough, Cannigia and maybe Butcher. Maybe's for Wilkins and Goram, Klos ? Should have beens: Kuztnesov, Jardel.........Salenko ? For me any suggestion would have had to be good enough to displace the World Cup winners that played in his position during the years that they were playing. For example in 98’ clearly Gazza was clearly better than Karembeu and laudrup better than djorkaeff. But Terry Butcher wasn’t as good as Jose Brown or the other boy for Argentina in 86’... that’s how I see it at least ?♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was unlucky because his career straddled Kopke, Illgner, Kahn and Lehmann. 4 of the best GK in football of the past 30 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
