Edgar Davids was a bit meh
Going back many years to when I was a kid and we signed Ally Dick. We already had Archie, but another Scot was always worth looking out for and he was supposed to be the second coming. Injuries did for him I suppose.
Was our youngest league player for many years until the arrival of another for this list. John Bostock.
Aye, hardly prolific. We had a tough team to break into back then. Then Cruyff signed him for Ajax and he kept being injured. Showed signs of being amazing though.Ally Dick - Wikipedia

17 games in 5 years with us, 53 in a 16 year career.
Has the distinction of being a late sub on in the 84 Uefa cup final 2nd leg tho'.
Durie as a forward, absolutely.Gordon Durie and Chris Armstrong anyone?!!.......
At the time i thought Durie, Sheringham and Barmby looked promising......ahh those were the days!!!Durie as a forward, absolutely.
IIRC he shifted to CM and was miles better than what we had at the time.
Same with Paul Stewart, couldn't hit the side of a barn (from the inside with the doors shut), but was again great at CM ?
Anyone ?
I could be wrong on this though, as I'm an old cunt and the memory plays tricks don't you know.
Did you have high hopes for Durie?Gordon Durie and Chris Armstrong anyone?!!.......
Not overly i guess!! He was supposed to be a decent finisher at the time! Did any of us have high hopes in the 90s? Compared to now for instance? We've got a way to go it's true but we've certainly come a long way since those dark days.......Did you have high hopes for Durie?
Stewart definitely switched from CF to CM with a lot of success and was one of our best players in that cup win season.Durie as a forward, absolutely.
