MacK1950 2,299 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Like DC a sad loss as he could have maybe been an ambassador on tours with his wit. Was my hero but sadly on his return was not the same player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The best Scottish player I've seen in my lifetime. A truly world class player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,691 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Slim Jim the betting man. His other lifelong addiction was gambling, at which he lost £500,000 by his own estimate and £250,000 by third-party estimates. Later in his life, when asked if earning the huge incomes of footballers in later decades would have made a difference, he replied, "Aye, I would have gambled £50,000 a week on the horses instead of £100."

Uilleam 5,772 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I haven't seen a Scottish player in the last, oh, 40 years, who could lace Baxter's boots. In fact, when I think about it, I haven't seen a Scottish player, at all, who could lace his boots. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
