Scored a load for us. Could be lazy at times by his own admission.
This was my favourite because it wasn't a monster hit

The last one on that video is unbelievable. Even the intelligence of McCoist's run to allow Abertz out on to his left foot was class.Scored a load for us. Could be lazy at times by his own admission.

Cooper could fair hit a ball. We also had a guy called Kenny Watson in the 70's who could trouble a net or 2.
Big Jorg can't be matched though
Due to my age I don't recall much of Ibrox before 98' really but I'm sitting here thinking I've yet to see someone who can strike a ball like this man. Is there anyone that any bears/ettes could come up with to be close?
Ronald Koeman could whack a ball but wasn't a match for Der Hammer.
Didn't he keep injuring our Goalkeepers during training? I'm sure either Klos or Niemi ended up with metal screws in their hand after saving an Albertz shot.
Remember that at the time, around the time he joined. Shearer wore umbro speciali though, strange him being there. Although he could hit a ball too.Adidas recorded an Albertz shot at 89mph , Alan Shearer was close at 84.. was a random thing at a Predator boot launch
That free kick against the rattlers, New Year 1997. Enough said!
He’d hit a few into the wall previously. I remember my auld man was moaning “don’t let him hit it..... oooft what a goal!!!”That free kick against the rattlers, New Year 1997. Enough said!
It always frustrated me that most of his penalties he hit low - and so missed some. Striking them the way he did free-kicks, he’d never have missed.
Albertz was almost one of a kind. Whilst players with his dig are rare, I feel we lack a midfield player who can pick the ball up 30/35 yards out and have good go. That would help us against teams who park the bus because it stops the box being packed. It also increases the chances of the keeper being unsighted or deflections. Stevie G knows a thing or two about that.
Naw =)Is one of the OPs heroes Charlie Nicholas?
