The_Kincardine Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I haven't seen this piece about The Slim One before but it is worth an hour of anyone's time. Some great clips which includes the likes of Ralph Brand and Davie Wilson. Oh and Scotland's best-ever winger - Willie Henderson. Raith fans should also feel free to comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYOkNLyOzns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Nice one, Kincardine - my mate is Ralph Brand's laddie, so I'll send him that link, if you dinnae, mind? Oh please do. Scottish football was just glorious in the early 60s and Ralph Brand is too-seldom mentioned. We auld c***s remember him and his prowess. Send him my best regards.

bennett Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Before my time but didn't Jock Stein prefer Willie Henderson to Jimmy Johnstone when picking the Scotland team? ...and he knew a thing or two about good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Before my time but didn't Jock Stein prefer Willie Henderson to Jimmy Johnstone when picking the Scotland team? ...and he knew a thing or two about good players. The only tme Stein could have chosen between Johnstone and Henderson woudl have been in 1965 when he took over the Scotland team for 7 matches. At that time Johnstone wasn't getting a game for Celtic, Stein even left him out of the 1965 Cup Final, and Henderson was at the peak of his powers. FWIW I thinkJonstone became a better player than Henderson was, and so does Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I thinkJonstone became a better player than Henderson was, and so does Willie. I remember them both, and would have had Johnstone in my team before Wee Willie. But it would have been fairly close, and Johnstone edges it probably because he was part of the virtually unstoppable Celtic nine in a row side, whereas Henderson was perhaps past his peak by the late 60s, while Jinky had been revitalised by Jock Stein.

The_Kincardine Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Cheers for posting, same to JGs. Good posts from both JG and Lippy, as usual. In Chez Kinky, though, the 'best winger' debate was never 'Henderson vs Johnstone', of course but much more nuanced and based on your generation. So: My grandad: Alan Morton was the prince of wingers. My dad: Away tae f**k. He couldn't lace The Deedle's boots. Me: Henderson laid on some goal today. I am happy to come from an inclusive family who can agree that any one of three Rangers wingers was Scotland's best. Next up? Scotland's best ever centre half?

Nice one, Kincardine - my mate is Ralph Brand's laddie, so I'll send him that link, if you dinnae, mind? PA, I stole this one shamelessly from FollowFollow but it's a nice gobbit: When Neymar tucked away Barcelona's first goal tonight (v Bayern Munich), it meant that the wonderful Threesome of Messi, Saurez and Neymar, had between them, taken their goal tally for the season to 113 goals,thereby finally surpassing our very own trio of Jimmy Millar, Ralph Brand and Davy Wilson who scored an incredible 112 Goals, between them, in a single season back in 1962-63.Jimmy Millar scored 43 Goals in 50 Games. This included hat tricks in all four competitions. Ralph Brand scored 37 Goals in 52 Games. which included scoring in all 7 Scottish Cup ties Davy Wilson scored 32 Goals in 50 Games. Messi has 53 Goals Neymar has 37 Goals Saurez has 24 Goals Obviously different times and different folk but these things are always enjoyable. Plus Suarez has to score 6 goals to keep pace with the other 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
