LBC-91 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 With Larsson going on to play for United and Barca puts him in front of Diego maradonas strike partner and footballing God Claudio Caniggia. Beto Carranza was very very special. Shame with so many injuries. Was he ever capped for Argentina. Sure he got a few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If you go back to the late 60's and early 70's (yes I'm not a silly wee laddie/lassie like so many of you) there were a few Scandinavians in Scotland, pretty sure Morton had some good ones, I know Aberdeen had Ravn and Boel and others. It's not all Laudrup and Larsson you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Bhoy Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm sure it was you. If you look back you'll find it. Yes, I mentioned Paul McStay as an example to an argument someone put up....not as a suggestion to the question. Anyone who reads the post should quite easily be able to come to that conclusion!

paddymcp Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 With Larsson going on to play for United and Barca puts him in front of Diego maradonas strike partner and footballing God Claudio Caniggia. Beto Carranza was very very special. Shame with so many injuries. Was he ever capped for Argentina. Sure he got a few? I think it's always been a bit of a myth that Larsson was some sort of resounding success at those clubs just because he had a hand in the goal in the CL final after coming on as a sub. No mean feat granted but his times at they clubs were pretty minimal and basically restricted to a a handful of substitute appearances. Still a great player mind you.

paddymcp Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 GVB was absolutely class and did get plenty plaudits, but was perhaps kind of overshadowed. Barry Ferguson was the main man at the time, finding good form and being the great young Scottish hope in the eyes of many, though personally I'd suggest playing alongside GVB was actually the making of Barry Ferguson. Jorg Albertz also used to garner much of the attention and plaudits at the time too given his love for unleashing 100mphv thunderb*****ds from 30 yards out, with a decent rate of success. Different positions and players of course but I'd suggest GVB was a better player than Henrik Larsson and could thrive at a higher level more consistently than Larsson. Which I think basically his career shows. Very underrated player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Has to be Brian Laudrup. The story about him knocking back interest from Barcelona and answering in the affirmative when asked whether he preferred Brockville on a Tuesday night to the Nou Camp sums up that something very unusual happened in his case.

The DA Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Depends whether you mean playing in Scotland at their peak. Assuming not, George (might have been a wee bit past his) Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Edit: I've changed my mind, Laudrup is the best foreigner to have played in Scotland. Clearly a class above anyone else and hopefully my fellow p and b'rs agree. Laudrup then Gio Van Bronckhorst then Larsson IMO I had totally forgotten about GVB- pure class.
