Great shame , a great player Rip

He’d been in a bad way for a while so probably a blessed release. Bit before my time but was supposed to have been a hell of a player. RIP

Scotland's greatest ever player?   Ballon d'or winner. Goal average better than a goal every two games. Joint record scorer for Scotland. Loved to wind up the English. Very modest and humorous man. I saw him play a few times. He could ghost past players, score goals from nothing and was  brilliant with his head. It's said he put United down into the second division with his famous back heel. But United were losing anyway so it wasnt a decisive goal.  He did not celebrate the goal and asked to be subbed  immediately.

Despite the transfer to ManCity the Stretford End still loved him like their own and still chant his name.

For me and those of my generation, I’d say Dalglish is the best ever. Beats me how he never won a Ballon d’or. Funny I remember a conversation with my old fella over 30 years ago when King Kenny’s career was coming to an end and me saying he was the best Scottish player of all time, and my dad said “that’s cos you never seen the lawman”.
