Super Ali?
Different game now, players altogether different beasts to say the 9IAR era. Hard to succeed at the top level, whilst having a carry on. There may well be jokers out there but top level clubs demand professionalism like never before.

Totally. I’m sure the players have a laugh together and send jokey photos, etc. but the antics that went on in years gone by would not be tolerated now. Too much at stake.Agree with that. Trained to play like robots and act like robots
Sad but seemingly true. In this world of wall to wall media, both official and fan media, were there real characters, we would know about it.Over the last few weeks I’ve been watching the Spurs series on Prime and there is a lot of behind the scenes with the players.
From what I seen I think I had subbeto teams as a kid with more personalities.
I think any boys with strong or different personalities are weeded out early on. A lot of coaches take the easy way out and go with boys who are usually predictable, easier to coach and fit into a system.
Characters are no longer wanted in the modern game.
Just like Super Ali after he scored at parkhead and jumped the advertisement boards ?Agree with that. Trained to play like robots and act like robots

Yeah, nah my money would still be on Monsieur C. I “met” Watterus (sp?) at a M6 filling station and he must have heard the missus and me cooing, cos he looked round and gave us the wink, “Aye, it is me”Can mind one of the goalies were supposed to like to paint bollock naked. Was either him or Watterus
Gordan Petric.Ex Dundee tiims defender. Embarrassed I can’t remember his name. Eastern European. Sure it was Ally that said he settled any dressing room arguments with a Vulcan Death Grip. Just can’t get the name, looks a bit genocidey? Lovely chap I’m sure.

Scotland has some great ones, Jim Leishman and Dick Campbell for starters.
Jim Leishman’s story about growing up in Lochgelly in a Rangers family and coming home to tell his dad he would be starting against Rangers for his professional debut. His dad said nothing and on the morning of the game he left the house to head off for the stadium, his dad opened the window and shouted on him. As he turned rounded he expected his dad to say good luck, instead he shouted “I hope you get fucked!”
Thats right. I think it might have been John Greig.He also tells a story, which is probably bollocks, that he was told to flatten Rangers main player first chance he got. He said to his manager that he'd be sent off if he did that, only to be told *they'll miss him more than we'll miss you"
Can't remember which Rangers player he was meant to take out.
