MacK1950 2,431 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Seen him many a time in the days I supported Scotland a joy to watch,he seemed to "hover" in the air whilst heading, Now with the sad news I can only say RIP it was an honour to have warched you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,440 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 One of the best footballers I ever saw and that includes many of the greatest names home and abroad. And he did appear to hang in the air for headers. I wonder if that’s because he jumped higher than the descending trajectory of the ball so that he was on the way down rather than up when he hit it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 1,094 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Only Scot to have won the Ballon d'or In the past quite a few have said he was the best Scottish striker of all time surpassing Dalglish. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,440 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 6 hours ago, Gribz said: the best Scottish striker of all time That was Reilly. Law, like Dalglish, was more than a striker. Classic attacking inside forward. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
