Name one player you always hoped we would sign

Jean Pierre Papin. My Dad worked in Glasgow at the time and would tell me he was rumoured to be signing.

Michael Laudrup. I always assumed he’d want to join up with his wee brerr :)
 
David Platt - rumored the season we signed Laudrup & Boli.

Never heard that one before.

We could have had a midfield of Steven Platt Gazza and Laudrup the season after, sensational.

Always felt Gary McAllister would have fitted in brilliantly with our 9 in a row team, recall we were linked with Gary Speed around the same time he’d have been a great signing too.
 
Bobby Hope from WBA. Every year we tried to get him but they said no. Not like nowadays when a player could let his contract run down. As long as the club offered a new deal on similar wages, the player had to stay.
I can remember that ...there was often stories in the papers
 

I met him on a driving range in London - and He intimated that the deal Rangers had offered was better than what he got at Chelsea - only chose them due to more competitive league, was big mates with Souness due to their time at Sampdoria.
