    Saw him score two at Hampden 1966. Jimmy Johnstone scored two as well in a dazzling display that wrecked England’s defence. Sadly Scotland’s defence wasn’t great either that day. 3-4.

     

    Seems wrong to criticise Johnstone after a truly great performance but I’ll do it. While bewildering the defenders, he often bewildered himself and lost sight of the goal and his team-mates. Beat your man twice if you must but resist the temptation to do it a third time and get the ball away. That’s where Henderson was the better player. More productive. 
     

    Fantastic theatre, though. If the game had gone on another ten minutes he would have equalised, maybe won it. On the other hand, Hunt might have got a third.

    If I remember correctly it rained most of the morning and the pitch was in a terrible state witch back then was considered normal ,how much would both wingers be worth at today's crazy prices  .

    I agree with TB - if the club can generate enough income then do it.  In an ideal world, it wouldn't be considered but Scottish football definitely isn't an ideal world. It'll always be Ibrox.

     

    I'm not terribly keen on stands being named after club legends - Struth and Jardine certainly deserve recognition but who decides who gets a stand named after them?  Is there a legendary status points tally.

    It's a wonder in these woke times we don't hav the Duncan Stanners stand or the Stanners award for tit of the week there must be very few worse than him ever to pull on the blue shirt  .
