compo 6,212 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Alan Morton ,Davie Wilson ,Willie Waddell, Willie Henderson ,Tommy McLean to name a few at one time Scottish football was famous for its wingers usually wee made who could get down the wings run on to passes from half backs and inside forwards take their defenders on get to the goal line cut the ball back wonderful to watch but mostly they could all cross a ball to their team mates head or feet now I watch football and most of the crossing is dire to long to short to high some crosses are like rugby players looking for touch its dire dire dire 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,229 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Add Alex Scott and Willie Johnston to that list of notables. Best of them all was Gordon Smith of the Hibs. I’ll be banned now for heresy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Tommy McLean was the best crosser of a ball I ever saw. He was also BY FAR the most consistent winger. A wonderful player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,454 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Lost count of the number of assists laid on by calamero in one season let alone over his career....agree he was the best crosser of a ball in all my years following Rangers.

compo 6,212 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I seen wee Davie Wilson a few weeks ago and I dont think he's an ounce over his playing weight, wonder if he's still registered even in his eighties he might be a better option than some of the present lads ?????????? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,370 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Neil McCann was no slouch when it came to crossing. I remember the halcyon days when Tav used to be able to cross a ball. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
