Can you name this Spiv look-a-like?

The pirouette was ridiculous but standing on the ball was brilliant. Tried it now the thing would burst in a flash.

I remember seeing it on Sportscene when I was about 10 and thinking it might be the greatest bit of skill of all time. When I watch it back now, I'm a bit more cynical

By the way I met him a couple of days before an OF game when I was a kid and was giving it “can’t wait for the game, please win”’etc etc and he was saying “yes I can’t wait, is a very big game”. The game in question was the 5-1 horror show at the piggery. Still mental to believe that result happened amidst a season where we were sensational.

Wikipedia says he’s Russian.

If it looks Russian, and it acts like a Russian, it’s a Russian.

Are you a Macaque? You look like a Macaque and act like a monkey.

He was rotten that night in Dunfermline as well

Yes, remember it well. I was sitting with @Sandy76 and we were saying he was shit. Wee guy in front was clearly a Kanchelskis fan and wasn't impressed with our chat. Then boom, the volley!

It could take someones eye out.

Rather be a Macaque than a Polar Bear tbh.

I had to google this to be true. That’s incredible. The lesson here kids is just to be fat all your life, then you look the same no matter what age.

Working on that.

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Christ that’s actually a thing. What does it cost? £1 for a 4 pack?

Looks like a bottle of washing up liquid.

Speak for yourself.
I was sitting quietly waiting for a moment of brilliance from him that night.

He would be red carded every game these days ....... during the pre-match warm up.

Lol Disco
Probably including Gattuso too if he was here.
Lawwell wouldn't stand for it.
Clancy and Collum for every game

I thought that was Sandy Clark in 1985!

Kanchelskis was a fabulous player at Man Utd but never hit anywhere near those heights for us.

At £5.5m and something like £40k per week, we should have gotten much more than a volley at Dunfermline and a couple of showboats against plodders.

don't forget this...

I mind the standing on the ball but not the piroutte who was that against?

Sure it was against Kilmarnock

 

[Clay Davis]

Love how him standing on the ball lead to him setting up a goal. The defenders must have been fuming

Still, he was born in Ukraine, which I believe makes him Ukrainian.

My girlfriend is Ukranian and so I asked her this because it was annoying me. She says this:

"XX: Andrei, Andrej = russian version of the name. Andriy = ukrainian version
XX: well, he was born in the USSR
XX: so he had a USSR passport
XX: and then you could choose in 1991
XX: so i guess he's Russian

So I take my earlier comments back, he is indeed a Ruskie.

Throw in an OF goal as well, but I completely agree - he should have delivered a lot more for that sort of outlay.
