    I was 50/50 between Guppy and McKinlay!

    Wish I could say I saw McGrain, my old yins favourite player ever.

    Big Reiper is a great shout as well as wee Jackie. Wee Jackie was phenomenal with the ball in Europe. A very calming influence.

    That team there would be capable of making the last stages of the Champions League in my opinion. Has a bit of everything.

    McNamara is one of the best full backs i can remember seeing, Very under-rated! Can't remember who he got in the team for but it was one of the best things to happen to that sqaud :icon_mrgreen:

    Off the top of the head..
    Boruc

    Agathe Mjalby Mulgrew/Caldwell? Mcnamara
    Lennon
    Lambert Ledley
    Naka Lubo
    Larsson

    Dunno how to get them in position lol 4 1 2 2 1

    Could replace a the midfield about 3 times but I'll go with this.

    Without thinking too much, I'd have to agree! Can't remember him ever putting a foot wrong, great delivery and a crackin' team player.

    I cried at his testimonial :56:

    Love Wee Jackie. We didn't do right by him in the end up.

    What a bargain Jackie was. £650,000 if I remember correctly.

    Tried to take advantage of his loyalty in the end, he was halfway to England before we made him a decent offer befitting of his talent.

    Solid, dependable player and would have been my RB if I hadn't seen McGrain when I was a lad. An able deputy none the less to the great man.

    Martin O'Neill should have offered him a contract before he left. Gordon only had a very small time to agree anything with him.

    Such a shame. He should have retired with us.
