Scotland had
produced many great legends until 1990s. The famous Scottish legends was
available since the first half 1920s with the top stars of Glasgow Rangers
likes Alan Morton and David Meiklejohn. The second half 1920s saw a phenomenon
scorer James Mcgrory as one of the best strikers in Europe. Alex James was one
of the best creative midfielders in Europe when his practical creativity was
highly influential to Arsenal’s unprecedented success in the first half 1930s.
Dennis Law had become the only Scottish player to have won Ballon’Dor made in
the first half 1960s. The dominance of Celtic in Scottish football during the
second half 1960s was led by Jimmy Johnstone, the best right-winger in Europe
at that period. The Scottish Tri-O
was an icon of Liverpool’s achievement in Europe during the first half 1980s
consists of Kenny Dalglish, Grame Souness and Alan Hansen. Since then, there
were no world-class Scottish players has been produced.

Manager : Sir Alex Ferguson
Formation XI (4-2-3-1)
Explanation of Formation
The team
strategy is defensive zone-press. Ronnie Simpson won just five caps but his
ability is unquestionable to make first choice. Alan Hansen is assigned as a
director of the back-line. In front of him has Dave Mackay who is applied to
Center-Back position. John Greig is selected in left-full-back position with
great ability to open the game from the back-line. Mcgrain would be very tough
at the right-back. In the partnership of
central midfielders, Souness is a defensive holding midfielder and Bremner is a
box-to-box midfielder. Morton and Johnstone will play as a traditional winger
get a main duty to cross the ball to penalty area. Dalglish is a support
striker to a target man Denis Law.

You have choose Martin Buchan in the Squad. (in fact, he was born at the 6th of March, 1949)
ReplyDeleteBut he was inductee to the Scottish Football Hall of Fame only in 2013 year, so, Scotch fans & specialists don't consider him as Great-great legend of their football.
At the same time, Scotlands' history has got such center backs as Willie Miller, Alex McLeish, Gordon McQueen. They were inducted to the Hall of Fame earlier.
Just similar to the case of Alan Hansen who was not successful in national team career, I also give the point for club career performance. Anyway, Martin Buchan is selected in the squad primarily due to his versatility to switch his position to the side-back although his performance for only Scotland national teams is rated below the likes of Willie Miller.
ReplyDeleteIt is a must that you include Bobby Walker and also in the All-time British Isles rankings.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Thomson dubbed him "The Best Player in Europe" and his style of football, involving brilliant footwork and sublime passing was known as "Walkerism".
Also The Football Encyclopaedia from 1934, edited by Frank Johnston, referred to him simply as "Bobby Walker, the greatest natural footballer who ever played."
That is very interesting for me. I'll spend a more time to review it and will back to answer on tomorrow.
DeleteOK, As I read this article http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/football-hall-of-fame-bobby-walker-inducted-1-3183212, Bobby Walker was truly great players in the first era of professional football, was described as Ronaldo in his time. I have named him in the substitution as I see it is difficult to rate him in replacing Kenny Dalglish.
DeleteDavie Cooper should be on list. Ruud Gullit once said that Davie is one of the greatest player he had ever seen. He had later named Davie in his greatest 11 for FourFourTwo magazine, alongside Maradona, Cruyff or Van Basten.
ReplyDeleteI have never doubt on his peak as he was an absolute great dribbler but he became a regular starter of Scotland just prior to 1986 World Cup at his 30 years old and he finally won only 22 caps. If taking his Scottish candidates into account, they are not a very long span world-class performer. He played with Rangers in the era of decline, did not win any Scottish League 8 seasons in row and the club also did not successful in European competition. He totally has no outstanding profile in any part of competition level but still, he is surely a legend of Rangers’ club.
DeleteThis is just an example of sight. Comme (English Bigsoccer Moderator) also rate him very low in 93th best left-wingers ever http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-100-greatest-left-wingers-of-all-time.1524392/page-5
Where is famous captain of "Aston Villa" Archie Hunter? He was one of the first in football who introduced what was known as the "passing game". It was a great contribution to the development of football.
DeleteI'm not rate players in Victorian era that high. He also played too few games (73 matches for Aston Villa within 12 seasons (although it was also available in few games)
DeleteAlly McCoist should be a decent choice as a Honorable mention, I Think
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he is not qualified when look for his goal stats against standard of Scottish league.
DeleteWillie Woodburn could be an option. Classed 9th best scottish players here : http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13097244.The_50_Greatest_Scottish_Footballers__Top_5/
ReplyDeletegeorge young in place of Hansen
ReplyDeleteIn 1926, James Catton published a book about the 40 years of association football, and he also made a all time XI for Scotland at the time: James McAulay (GK); Walter Arnott (RB), Andrew Watson (LB); Andrew Aitken (RH), Alex Raisbeck (CH), Peter McWilliam (LH); Jack Bell (OR), Bobby Walker (IR), John Smith (CF), Peter Somers (IL), Bobby Templeton (OL).

ReplyDeleteBecause of his score productivity, Gallacher never won any top scorer of the season. In Scottish league during the three related seasons, you can see a huge difference of scoring ratio between them. In 33 - 36 matches, Gallacher won only 1.00 while Mcgrory obtains 1.4.

ReplyDeleteVery great information again. Thanks man.
Deleteamazing work naratorn
ReplyDeletewhat do you think about Queen Gold for dalglish and or law
Wow No Willie Miller? Are you crazy?
ReplyDeleteWhat about John Robertson, I see he doesn't appear
ReplyDeleteNaratorn, please look into John Robertson. He was the star left winger of Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest team. Clough himself highly praised the player. He was an incredibly consistent and skillful performer, as highlighted by his one assist and one goal in Forest's two finals of 1979 & 1980.
ReplyDeleteI think he has only great 3 seasons in row after Forest promoted to the first division. I require at least 5 seasons to make profile.
Deletenarathorn i highly respect your work and i admire your constant improvement of this site.
ReplyDeletei observe your work for a longtime
you seem to have a preference for very old players. most part of players you added in positional ranking of the different countries played from 1900 1930 i don't know if it makes much sense to add lots of players that many people don't know.
for example in scotland there is no john robertson but instead we have a bob mcphail who is even rated in 9 100 rankings who played in a time where football standard was much lower and who appears in this list instead of players like salas. that is really sad.
there are enough players from 1950 until now who could be included and of course the very best players from the era like andrade nasazzi friedenreich who have to be there absolutely.
i agree totally with you in this case.
just in my opinion i wouldn't include too many players from 1900 bis 1930
but its your blog and you can decide which players you add.
Well, recently I read a great article in bigsoccer regarding old players. I agree old players between 1910s and 1930s has lower skills as some techniques were not developed yet. I still want to save some greatness in thier own era. I'm not too sure about Bob Mcphail but I heard from two British persons that he is in similar level as James Mcgrory although much less scored but Mcphaim was greta in playmaking skill. If I correctly remember he was named in top 10 best Rangers player ever but I can't memorize specific place. I think I will have some Scottish experts discuss about Mcphail.
DeleteIt's strange that there are no Archie Gemmill and Tommy Gemmell
ReplyDeleteCould you please change the colour of text of player's names because it is coinciding with the background? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAcredito que Andrew Robertson já mereça fazer parte do elenco. Hoje ele seria o lateral reserva na minha opinião, mas tem tudo para ser o melhor lateral esquerdo da história da Escócia.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Nick Ross?
ReplyDeleteI think that be added Joe Jordan. Great centre forward of 1970 and 1980. He played three World Cup for the National Team. He scored in the three competition. Played in Leeds United, Manchester United, Milan and Verona.
