The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues - Our Best Signing From Killie?

The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues - Our Best Signing From Killie?

By David Herd Apologies for the strange title for this article, for those who don’t know where it came from it’s the name of a Proclaimers song from the 1980s. Don’t worry, there is nothing else in…

Boyd disgraced himself by returning a lazy, unfit slob.

Wee Tommy wins it for sterling service from start to finish.

Tommy McLean, European Cup Winners Cup Final winner, for me. And not a difficult choice either. 3 League titles won, 4 Scottish Cups and 3 League Cups. Plus another League title with Killie, of course. Fantastic wee player. Inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame, Rangers Hall of Fame, Kilmarnock Hall of Fame and Motherwell Hall of Fame. Bizarrely gained just 9 Scotland caps and even more strangely, none of them during his time at Rangers.

I do have some happy memories of that Derek Johnstone/Gordon Smith season when the pair of them ran riot in 1977/78 though. DJ netting 38 goals and Smith 27. Incredible.

Tommy, Tommy McLean, everyone knows his name.
Great player.

 

[bucks72]

Wee Tommy - would love if they counted up assists back in his day, he was a great crosser of the ball.

 

[top_cat]

Tommy.

 

[Jaws]

Out of those only Tommy McLean has a genuine claim to be considered a Rangers legend so no brainer!

Due to my age I only remember Boyd but from a footballing point of view I would have voted for Naismith if he was an option. I thought he was brilliant when he played with us but obviously things have gone sour since he left.

The first 2 on the list are 100% legends!
I can only think you don't know who they were if thinking that.

 

[RTID55]

Boyd for me due to age

 

[AuldYin58]

Tommy McLean.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

In my lifetime it has to be Tommy McLean.

Overall, it has to Andy Cunningham.

And I'll bow to the author's superior knowledge on the warblings of those two speccy geeks from Leith.

 

[big_hec]

Voted for Calimero
It’s an age thing

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Out of those only Tommy McLean has a genuine claim to be considered a Rangers legend so no brainer!

I think you should look up Andy Cunningham's contribution to Rangers.

 

[Willie Legenderson]

Boyd for me due to age

Rock on

 

[aye me]

Wee Tommy could cross a ball like no other .

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Wee Tommy could cross a ball like no other .

He certainly dovetailed with DJ wonderfully.

 

[Jaws]

The first 2 on the list are 100% legends!
I can only think you don't know who they were if thinking that.

I stand corrected. Thanks for that mate.

 

[Jaws]

Have done. Thanks mate, won’t change my vote but only on the basis of having seen wee Tommy playing for Rangers but fully acknowledge that the first two have strong legendary status claims!

 

[Davie Weir]

Due to age I’ll have to vote Boyd (first time round obviously).

Argument for Naismith over him though.

 

[Spart7]

Naismith should be on that list too if we are purely talking about playing ability and contribution.

 

[Bigeye]

Jordan Jones started well then got a bad injury trying to half a tim.

 

[paphosranger]

Boyd disgraced himself by returning a lazy, unfit slob.

Wee Tommy wins it for sterling service from start to finish.

He didn't choose to sign himself though. He left Killie after having a wonderful top flight season to drop the divisions to play for us.

 

[spotlight]

Wee Calimero.

 

[derek145]

McLean got a lot of grief because he wasn't an aggressive player but I thought he was superb. Renowned for his crossing but he was a fantastic passer of the ball.

 

[Vallance]

Tommy McLean for me.

 

[Johansen]

Mitchell and Cunningham are true legends of the club but so is Tommy McLean, 3 League titles, 4 Scottish Cups, 3 League Cups makes him our best signing from Kilmarnock imo.
