Tidy, unfussy and played when we were really up against it. I thought of him myself. He played a good part in us winning the treble in 76. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big man used to be very good odds and whilst my memory might be damaged through alcohol I'm sure he got plenty of first goals for us. Strange shaped heid did the business plenty.

McDonald, Russell, Mathieson, Munro, Rod Wallace all suggested and spot on. From the big money era, the least celebrated was Claudio Reyna, a really intelligent footballer. Wished he’d been with us longer. And then there was Papac..... Great shout. I remember after we won the first of our niar. Nine that we actually won on the pitch as it happens. At the time Gary Stevens was my favourite player. He signed an autograph for me (what used to happen before the social media and selfies * age) outside Ibrox after the game that day (Hearts?) but never made eye contact as he was speaking to someone else at the time. Might not have been meant in a disrespectful way at the time but it didn't feel right. Minutes later Bomber came out and he must have spent 5 or 6 minutes talking to me. * I do realise I am posting on social media right now before anyone pipes up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit it so hard the ball boy behind the goal ducked That scissor kick v Aberdeen in the League Cup Final was a brilliant strike which never seems to have been reshown as often as it deserves.

Two very good footballers who never seemed to get the recognition they deserved when playing for us imo. Remember being on the bus home from work on the day McKean died. Spotted a local newspaper hoarding with the line ‘footballer found dead in car’ or similar. Despite being 200 miles from Glasgow, I had the weirdest feeling that it might be one of ours. Bought the paper when I got off the bus, to have my worst fears confirmed. What a waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley 1,401 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Stewart Kennedy. Had a brilliant season the year we stopped them getting ten in a row. His saves earned us points where we could easily have dropped some. Unfortunately will be remembered for his Wembley performance that finished him.
