Reasons For Picking Team | 1. CRUIKY for the agility and longevity in the 1st
team,
McKENZIE because my father-in-law said he was such a decent and "thorough" tackler, WEE GARY for his skill in defending and attacking. SANDY JARDINE - maybe the most professional and laidback player I ever saw. DAVE McKAY - never saw him, but from tv and from what my father says of his Derby County days, my all-time hero! The ultimate in captains (which is another reason why I could have McKenzie instead of Bobby Parker). LEVEIN - The original silky skills merchant! FlOGEL - technically so good, excellent tackler and always a threat. THE BUZZ BOMB - what can I say - one of THE heroes of the 1970s. CONN, WARDHAUGH and BAULD - you cannot separate them! Subs: NEIMI - can't really choose between him and Cruiky. ALAN ANDERSON - another inspiring leader who spoke to me at the Centenary Open Day (reason enough!). JOHN CUMMING - only on the bench because of Jardine and Levein. In a word- brilliant! Jackson - the workrate, the passing, the trickery and the delight in taking the p*** out of the opposition! ROBBO - only on the bench becaise you can't split CBW! The 'I wish it was a 20 a side game' candidates: Willie Gibson, Willie Johnstone, Henry Smith, Walter Kidd, Gary McKay, Colin Cameron, Kenny Aird, Rab Prentice, John Colqohoun, Jim Jefferies, Bobby Parker. |
