A wee bit but what is quoted now is spending money for a weekend to some players,but nice to know we held the record at one time.

Reading this gives me the fear! I was 11 and used to sit in the Govan Rear “Premier Club” as it was called then. Just seems like yesterday ?

Those were the days, and what a team we had back then.  Souness wanted to build from the back so he got Woods, Butcher and Stevens.  I'm sure Woods still holds the record for the most consecutive minutes played without conceding a goal, but he owed a lot of that to the guys in front of him.  Getting a goal against us was a tough challenge for any team in those days.  I too feel like this was only yesterday.

How much would Pickford, Maguire and Walker cost today ?

Far too much. They’re not as good as our three.

I'm sure this has been beaten quite recently.

A great goalkeeper and started what was about 25 years with world-class keepers, with Goram, Charbonnier, Klos, McGregor all following on from Woods. 

 

As great as Woods was, he was a rubbish penalty taker!
