9/10. Some guessing but the one that I got wrong was Wembley. Guessed Villa Park since there was an Aston Villa sign at the back :ffs:

Did all three, got 5/10, 9/10, 8/10. Not bad for some one not from there and only came into the game in the 1990s.

Anyone see this list of 'Scotland's Premier League best 40 players'? I'm not old enough to have seen or remember a lot of these guys play, and I kind of hate comparing players of such different eras...but it seems way, way off on some guys. Davie Cooper and strachan seem extremely overrated.

I guess in fairness it's only going back 40 years.

A third of that should have the players from the MON era alone.

I think it's an awful list tbh - but I'm curious about a lot of guys I never got to see play...

It seems like they moved Dalglish back because he 'only played for 2 years' so fair enough I guess but Boyd being on the list at all is laughable.

Surprised Mjallby isn't in there.

Quite a good wee quiz. Fluked a decent 8/10 - didn't know where Coventry played or who beat Denmark in '86 (wasn't born).

As for the top 40 players, making lists like that, ranking players from different positions and eras against each other, is an absolutely impossible and thankless task and only serves to annoy the people who read it, which I guess it kind of the point.
