Did they really play for SAFC?

.....and he only played 21 games for us!!!! Which just shows the impact that he made! He just bloody knew what he was doing! An absolute rock!

 

Gordon Harris, he actually made the initial squad but not the final squad

 

beat me to it

 

Frank Worthington...I would have loved us to have had him in his prime..

 

I do I was there when Joe made his debut for the lads and remember Dave Watson being signed as his replacement as a centre forward.

 

In terms of the op Jim Baxter

 

Watched Baxter play Some superb games - trouble was the players around him couldn't keep up!

 

Jimmy Nicholl, I remember him being a class above what we had at the time

 

Done nowt for me

 

Was still a class above what we had at the time

 

Home grown Jimmy Montgomery. Great goalkeeper.

I'm sure he was in the England squad but was behind the greatest goalie of all time, Banksy, and Bonetti and never broke through to the first team.

 

Dave Watson was a strange one, he was one of those rare players who seem to rise to the big occasion, internationals, cup games etc., he was phenominal, but in the bread and butter league games he was inconsistent. Almost the dead opposite of some current England players. And I must have missed those Jim Baxter moments as I only remember him playing one good game for us in his time here, and that was when he was playing for a move. On a different tack, I remember a similar player who gave a real "Jim Baxter" performance at Roker Park his name was Alex Sabella what a game he played, probably one of the best individual demonstration's the old ground had ever witnessed. Just for that night alone I wish Argentina well in the up-coming final against Germany.

 

Didn't we beat his team 6-2 that night?

 

How about John Hughes?

I was at that game, he got injured in his first game and never played for us again If my memory serves me well.
