No Law? Must be a mistake as him and Dalglish are No's 1 and 2 on my list.

As for carrots like Weir, Goram, Gough and Walter Smith, what have they done for Scotland to be considered greats? Walked out on their country when they were most needed?

here's a question - how would an all time Scotland XI fare against an all time England XI?

I think if we had BIg JOck as manager we would win.If you look at Scotland's best players they look as good or better than England's best,certainly in my lifetime.

Obviously I think they would win but it could be a hell of a game.

Actually I think they might win at a canter.


NB McFadden might not be in the starting line up :lol:

In the absence of token black players there are token players from the 90's and 00's

Got to be a misprint. No Denis Law? He still holds the all-time scoring record.
