Rooney, Owen, Lampard, Mbappe. After that who? I put 'wanting' not 'expecting', anyone who 'expects' to be picked to play at that age likely has a questionable attitude.

Can't remember many good players (or successes) over the past 40 years. Steve Maclean, Andy Blair, are the standout against the Gary Teales, Donnelly, O'Donnell, Stevie May, Maurice Ross, David Graham, Mark Reynolds, Paul Heffernan, etc. too true, but hopefully these days the club is 'shopping' in a better quality store.

Jon Newsome Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Wtf is with the moaning, he's going to be for the under 23s like Conor Grant who we signed from Shamrock the other year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them unknown. And Bobby Craig, for a season, was as good an inside forward as I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
