    Ross Wallace - hand on heart seriously thought he was so much better than McGeady

    Craig Beattie - Tony Watt before Tony Watt existed.

    Luca something or another, some Italian kid i think we allegedly got over either inter or ac milan?

    Liam Miller - * off to Man U after having half a season of great shows and returning from years of injury issues. Also * R.I.P Still so * sad man.

    The twins - the * happened to those * man.

    Mostly guys from when I was teen and far more involved in reading everything celtic.

    On a side note, always hoped that big ugly * Josh Thompson would be a beast for us, * even scored a double in one game.

    Evandar Sno these guys werent exactly youth guys but thought there was something about them for sure were still 19ish when they came into yhe team

    I remember when MO'N signed John Harson, Steve Guppy and Momo Sylla, I was over the moon about BBJ, but I thought Sylla would be the next big thing. I was wrong

    Charlie Grant.

    Him and Si Ferry were unreal in the youths, both got back injuries that * their careers, Grants more so than Ferry’s.

    Just googled the big man there and he looks to have ended up alright! Hes got a good domestic record and still in and around the national team - i'm surprised.

    John Kennedy. Though injury ended his career. The younger ones on here need reminded how good this guy was.

    Someone has already mentioned, but Mark Fotheringham.

    I know him from through this way, he played a year or two above his age group as a youngster. Trained with a few clubs down south etc before signing with Celtic.

    Could have been class but for whatever reason ended up with a very bizarre career. Think he is back in Germany now coaching.

    David Marshall is a good shout, though he went on to have a good career.

    Jamie Smith seemed a prospect back in the O’Neill days. Was a sub in Seville, ended up playing a season in Holland, then Aberdeen and Colorado Rapids. A coach for Colorado now.

    Was young, but I do remember the hype around him and how good he was! He would have been an outstanding CB for years to come... Would have just been ending his career now!

    Cant remember it all but wasnt the injury in a pointless friendly for Scotland?

    That's the one. To be fair to @Big Mick I probably thought Pearson would be class too:giggle1:

    Mind that game against Barca in one of his first games. I though he was going to be a STAR
