southcoastbear 1,639 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Sergio Porrini, although he started at CB soon moved to right back where I thought he was quality for us. Casualty of the Dutch influx at that time IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bud 141 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Billy Ritchie excellent goalkeeper who was a vital part of the wonderful team of the early sixties,had to play understudy to George Niven for about four years before he became the first team goalkeeper,played every game in the treble winning 1963/64 season and was outstanding in both games of the 1966 cup final when King Kai scored the winner in the replay.

British_Empire 9,648 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 10 hours ago, GWR1979 said: Hemdani Was underated but one of the main reasons why we made the Uefa Cup final. Always thought he was really, really over-rated tbh. He had some good games away in Europe for us, but that was it. Domestically he was found wanting more often than not IMO. It's telling that one of the first things Smith did (for the league) when he returned, was drop Hemdani from most games and sign Kevin Thomson. That literally says everything about what we need as a club, to be successful in Scotland and I draw the same comparisons with Ryan Jack now as I did with Hemdani as both were/are highly rated by some of the support, only really shine in Europe, but domestically both look/looked very slow and style of play to keep it far too simple.

Me too, happy to graft away & let the others grab the headlines. Had a perfect mix of ability, aggression & most importantly gamesmanship. Always looked to be communicating with teammates, officials & opposition for the good of the team. Great pro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafeking St. 408 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Billy Ritchie, great keeper. The reason we won the cup in '66 was due to Ritchie putting up the shutters in the first game against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Miller IMO is one of the best examples of " What if " or " What could've been " regarding players coming through the youth system . One of the best I watched at Youth level , and didn't look out of place when he broke into the first team but sadly never reached the level that his undoubted talent should have warranted . Neil Murray is someone who's contribution as a utility player during the 92/95 period goes under the radar . Walter seemed to prefer his steady , unspectacular style in a variety of positions . Never outstanding , but always reliable would sum him up , for me . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
