Gribz 854 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I admit I struggled with confidence big time. Buy I honestly admit I was better than Gascoigne. A few times I was told "why are you not playing for Scotland". I know Frankie ex a ex keeper. Anyone else? Compo - you are 76 we cant accpet these ...? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 854 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Best player I played with - McAvennie. Just a total dick. Amazing striker. He blew Cottee and Brooklyn out the window. Julian Dicks rocked up and he left. He was quite hard 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I played left back for Partick Thistle. I got my big break in 1976 when I moved to Sampdoria, initially as cover for Beppe Roderi but a combination of injuries and contract issues saw him moved on and I played 72 games over the next three years. I was voted young player of the year in 1978. A year later a broken leg and ligament damage against Torino ended top flight football for me. Nah, it's all bullshit. Much preferred rugby and tennis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,018 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I was pretty poor, never got beyond school level. I could use either foot so it was centre half or left back. Minimal skills, no pace and not much bulk. Wisnae fair. Enjoyed playing, though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Never really played football at school in my hometown (rugby territory). I was like Nigel De Jong at the local park though but without his footballing ability or brains (ie. a right dirty b@stard). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,131 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Played for BBs and school and then a couple of pub teams. Played right back or centre half and was the schools sub goalie. Was never any good. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,055 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Never played for any team worth talking about all amateurs but have played alongside Harry Hood, Alan McGraw,Joe Mason, and the old Hibs captain Joe Davis and also Eric Smith , I was just one of those players who deliberately injured others 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
