    I had several ; Jinky , Pele , King Kenny and was told by my Dad that the player that I should emulate was West German midfielder Gunter Netzer . But the one that sticks in my mind was big George Connelly , a great pity he drifted away from the game the way he did .

    Good shout. Loved Marc Reiper about this time. Pity his career ended too soon!

    Kenny Dalglish, his girlfriend (mrs now) stayed round the corner from me and used to walk up with him to get his bus home. Must have got his autograph every night until he took another route to the bus stop to avoid the strange looking wee * with the pen and bit of paper.

    Davie Provan. I always liked right wingers, and he was excellent. His crossing was second to none, and his perm was first class too. :icon_mrgreen:

    Dalglish for about 6 months, then he joined Liverpool but then along came Charlie Nic.
