World Class Scots Footballers


Recommended Posts

For more get labelled as "great" than have any right to it. In footballing terms, I go back to the early 1960's and in the 50-odd years there have been maybe a handful or two who could hold there own with the very best.

 

Dave Mackay was certainly one of them, as was Billy Bremner, Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, Eric Caldow, Alan Hansen and Jim Baxter. Willie Henderson was by far the best winger I ever saw and streets ahead of Davie Cooper or Jimmy Johnstone.

Henderson was before my time? It's Dalglish and Davie Cooper for me.

There have been many world class Scots. Keep in mind this small nation was winning European trophies across three decades and reaching the latter stages consistently. Our cup winners cup team beat the core of a side that became world champions just a couple of years later. I rate that achievement as greater than the yahoo 67 win.

 

That same Bayern Munich also went on to dominate the European cup for several years.
