I think you're right about the year and to think that a few years later all three ended up at Ibrox. 52 minutes ago, erskblue said: Franco Baresi AC Milan. Now this man was some defender at his peak. Yes, a great defender and part of one of the best back fours ever to grace the game. If Harry Maguire is worth £80 million it begs how much Baresi would be worth if playing today.

Franco Baresi' His worth in todays 'market' ? Add a £100 million plus. at least, to the £80 million (!) paid for Harry Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Graeme Souness was quoted as saying that Ray Wilkins was 'pound for pound the best signing he ever made in his managerial career. I think it was £250,000 Souness paid PSG in Nov 87 for Ray Wilkins. It was, for me, an utter privilege to watch Ray Wilkins play football. He oozed class, even in the warm up. strider6004 and Sexyfootball 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame that they couldn't play together for the National side. "On 24 April 1996, 17-year-old Gudjohnsen and his 34-year-old father Arnór entered football history when playing in an international friendly for the senior Iceland team against Estonia in Tallinn. Arnór started the match, and Gudjohnsen came on in the second half as a substitute for his father.[37] Both father and son have later expressed bitterness at the fact that they were not allowed to play together in that match. The then president of the Football Association of Iceland, Eggert Magnússon, gave the coach Logi Ólafsson an express order to not play them together because he wanted it to occur on home turf, when Iceland played Macedonia two months later in the first qualification round for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[37] As it happened, however, the two never got another chance because a month after the match in Estonia Gudjohnsen broke his leg playing for the Icelandic U-18 team against the Republic of Ireland. He had difficulty coming back because of undiagnosed tendinitis in that leg. When he had recovered and was again available for selection for the national team, his father had retired".[37] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erskblue Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 That's Cathkin Park and Hampden Park. Just look how close the two grounds (are) were . An original local derby, when Queens Park played Third Lanark. They literally just walked up or down to the respective away ground !
