Definitely one of my favourite players of the modern era. There was something about his enthusiasm and love of the game that was contagious and it’s no surprise that he became a favourite amongst the Arab hoards. I recall one game against Rangers (remember them?) when he had Laudrup in his hipper for the whole 90+ minutes; it was a delight to watch. Tried to find YouTube footage of him playing but really only a cameo in this game where he contributed to a memorable meltdown by Dean Windass who picked up 3 red cards. (Nice wee bit about 3.30). Enjoy. didn't include the Windass challenge. And McLaren threading the ball through an eye of a needle for the third 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well Freeman certainly didn't have the best timing having an off day against Livi with Smith back in training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think Tam Courts can recall an even worse display by Liam Smith when he had that one game in charge last season. Freeman has to be kept in, maybe his reticence on Wednesday was a product of the pitch and weather, coupled with a fear of injury, given he's begun to establish himself as a first team starter, following two torn ACL injuries in the same leg plus a ripped meniscus. On another matter, it appears the Hearts away tickets sold out exceptionally fast this morning, but I note that on Hearts site many (home) tickets are still available, some priced £8 lower than away fans have to pay. £8 would perhaps pay for that extra pint in Edinburgh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is global cuisine the future for SPFL fan expansion*?

I’d take Riqui Puig ahead of him but maybe Koeman’s successor will have the sense to give him game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy. That Viking invasion was superb. Peds was immense, as was Lars. Kjell was unplayable at times. An absolute monster of a man with tree trunks for thighs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm too young to have seen the first. Hopefully, with Niskanen we're all about to witness another tremendous Scandinavian invasion, even if it's a one man army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprised by the picture too, I had no idea what he looked like. On the plus side, the article that photo is from is about him refusing to play for Finland on a trip to Qatar, so he's a decent human even if he was utter shite.

Had it in my head he was with us during the Fundesliga years but of course he was Mixu’s great white hope. As good as Pedersen, Oloffson and Zetterlund were the ones that followed were almost comically shite. Marklund, Anderson, Wirmola, Tengsted. I’ll give Skoldmark a pass for effort and a goal against Dundee. Siggi would have perhaps been the best of all of them had his knees not been reconstructed with weetabix.

Oh and @Granny Danger, surely you remember the first Scandinavian Invasion, during WW2 (Karlsen and Sveinsen)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I saw him (and his brother?) scoring for a Finnish team on the Europa League highlights show a couple of weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
