What’s the fooking point starting a thread and naming 90% of the players in the first post?
Or am I missing something!

Sorry? Is there already a thread? I checked and couldn't see. Why are you talking like that anyway? I've just been outside and seen the whole street come out and clap. Made me feel so happy. Then I read that.

So sorry to have upset you.

You haven’t upset me lol but the idea is to name 1 or so and let everyone name the others. What’s the point in naming 90% of them when it leaves little scope for people to answer.

In the early prem years we fielded our first “All Scottish forward line for 86? Yrs. (Back when there were 5 in the front line)
I think it was
Carr
Hannigan
Stein
Gibson
Hutchison
Feel free to correct if I have wrong players

I think Neil Martin was one. (Tommy Hutch didn't arrive until 1972) Colin Stein was later also. Gerry Baker?

It was a big deal at the time. My memory is obviously slipping. I did a quick search but didn’t find it.

How bout the worst Scottish IX

I'll start us off with Davie Bowman. Shocker for us. As I remember Don Mackay signed him without ever seeing him play!!!

Also who was the young lad (midfielder) we signed from Rangers a few years later???

I don’t remember him, but my mate used to go on about how bad Dougie McGuire was.

Not Dougie, although he's a good shout for being rubbish.

I also found Stuart Urquhart was he the homesick one??? But he wasn't the one I was thinking of...

The guy I'm thinking of was a Centre Mid who went on to a fairly successful career after he left us.

Could I be thinking of Sandy Robertson?????

Sandy Robertson was dreadful. Touted in Scotland as the new Gascoigne, I think they meant Jill

It was Baker, Hannigan, Martin, Carr and Gibson ( which I remembered), against Chelsea at home (which I found in a CT article)
Hannigan scored the only goal.

I'm sure I read somewhere, sometime ago, that altho Gerry and his brother spoke with broad Scots accents, neither were born in Scotland! Childhood upbringing - and parentage. I think they could have played for either USA, (Gerry's birthplace) England or Scotland.

Bowman joined about the same time as Jim McInally who also turned out to be a disappointing signing. They both left for Dundee United where they had long & successful careers coinciding with the club's best period in their history, including success in Europe.

It was 2-1

Bobby Tambling for Chelsea in the first half. Then after 47 mins Gerry Baker headed an equalizer from an absolutely exquisite cross from the man himself- Gibbo. Hannigan got the winner with a shot from the edge of the box on the hour. Neil Martin was one of City's best ever centre forwards.

I was there, hanging onto a rail at the back of the terrace under the Sky Blue Stand, having to do a running commentary to a toothless Chelsea woman of a certain age who was too short to see the game herself. Also iirc John Tudor played centre back alongside Setters. It was a good team.

That day I knew we could stay up.
