I’d ask if that was you, Chris, but your birthday doesn’t match.

Haha, no. I just happened to be young and ginger at the time. Plus his dribbling was very much something to get you off your feet.

Not in the greatest 11 by any means, but he is in my favourite personally. He's the one I'd have killed to be at that time. A talented youth who was given a chance and took it. Became a key creative part of our first 11, broke into the Scotland team, impressing domestically and in Europe.

After him and Boyd ripping up the opposition on their debuts in the Kirin cup, it felt like the national team was turning a corner and had stumbled on something great with 2 young bears leading the way. That Burke only played 5 more times for his country after that tournament win is still an outrage imho, but I'm glad he continues to have a long and respectable career (even if it is far short of the heights where the promise of the start of his career indicated he'd go).

Here's one for a bit of nostalgia:

It says a lot that the past 20 years doesnt have many players.
Its 36 years since Souness arrived , and 90% are in first half of that.
Souness , Smith, Advocaat.

Mcleish , le guen, smith, ally, warburton, pedro, gerrard, and GVB have virtually none.

Is it the quality of player went downhill or was it the start of the money issues.
Dick blew a lot of dough.

Think it says a lot about the average age of people on this forum as much as anything.

I went to my first game in 1983...

------------------Goram-------------------

Stevens----Gough-----Butcher----Numan

----R. de Boer----Sounesss---Gascoigne--

-----Laudrup-----Hateley------Cooper----


Post Walter's time, Tav, Kent and Alfie are probably the only ones who get close to my thinking.
 
Some great teams listed already. Find this almost impossible to pick and 11, keep changing my mind.
 
Goram
Stevens Gough Amoruso Numan
Laudrup I.Ferguson Gascoigne Walters
McCoist Hateley

Left mid was a hard one, Albertz Huistra and Miko were huge favourites of mine as well.
 
My favourite by position may not be best but certainly includes favourites as thread title asks.

Definitely not the best team on this thread but here’s mine..

McGregor

Tavernier

Tav's the only one changed in years, used to have Porrini at right back.

Mcgregor

Goldson
Bougherra
Cuellar

Tav
Davis
Mendes

Ferguson would get in any Rangers X1 of the best I put together, but this is favourite players and his time as a pundit has pissed me off so he’s oot.
