Gaffer 1,665 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We really shouldn't be putting Laudrup or Gazza in the same sentence as any of our recent players. As far as im concerned, I don't care how good/poor/risky they were anywhere else ..... they were BRILLIANT for us and certainly the two best players I've ever seen in the jersey. Can't we just leave it at that? This has made me feel down now. When will we ever see players of this calibre in our team again? It may not be in my life time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I started the thread. It's just the way it works moving the posts -- it takes the earliest one first. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on your definition of world class, and people could argue about that all day. Goram was world class, and arguably Butcher and possibly Gough were. However I would say that Laudrup is the best player to play in Scotland over the last 50 years, and arguably ever. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is any doubt that Laudrup was indeed 'world class' I suggest they watch the Brazil v Denmark World Cup quarter final match from 1998. Laudrup was astonishing in that game, a game a country of 5 million people had no right to be in, against the eventual World Cup runners up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Brian Laudrup was a truly great player, a legend for us. But his brother, Michael........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKd690QevFA ...and there is plenty more on YouTube 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, their Dad could play as well. He scored the winner for Denmark in a game against Scotland back in 1971. More talent in one family than the whole of Scotland has had in 50 years. ------------------------ This thread reminded me of this video, especially at 40 seconds Edited June 6, 2019 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Always love THAT Walter interview, hilarious. IMO Laudrup was world class and a stand out player who did change and elevate the Scottish Game. He did perform at other levels, he was MOTM in WC 98 when Denmark played Brazil. His Italy stint just didnt work out and he chose wrong in moving to Chelsea who were signing foreigners for fun in 1998. Pete always says he was World Class in Scotland, yet he is the best performer Ive seen in Scotland so if the likes of Souness and Dalglish were world class then Laudrup has to be. I would say Laudrup, Gascoigne and Larsson are easily the best 3 players to play in the country and easily world class. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
