Neil Simpson was class at Aberdeen........... Before your time I'd have thought. Before my toon time? Simpson was still at Aberdeen in 1989, they have a song about him to this day, "who's that lying at Pittoddrie, who's that lying on the floor, it looks Iain Durrant to me cos Simmy's gone and fucked his knee, and he won't be playing for Rangers anymore." So 1989 before my time, if it was, which it wasn't, I'm sure Strachan at Aberdeen left 83/84 is before yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have an astonishing memory as a 6 or 7 year old to remember the impact Strachan had on that CWC, considering the only game that would've been on our TV was the final against Real Madrid.

Ok Stevie, I remember the final well. Strachan hit the bar with a (sort of) overhead effort iirc. I was aware of him from the likes of Shoot and Match mags at the time due to their success domestically and in Europe and of course Scottish football got coverage on Football Focus and World of Sport at the time. And I was 8, going on 9, as it happens. I can vividly remember quite a lot of games from the World Cup the summer before too. So I suppose I'll take that astonishing memory comment as a compliment. In fairness though, I wouldn't have thought it would have been difficult to watch many Aberdeen matches in their entirety as an 8 year old living on Tyneside. I suppose you saw Stimpson week-in, week-out at Aberdeen though, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Simpson a lot of times, seen him play for Scotland as well, coupled with the fact he had a cult status amongst Dons fans I don't think it's unreasonable to rate him as a good hatchet man - well certainly before us.

NJS 4041 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 McAllister, similar reasons to Scholes, he was immensely gifted, at his peak at Leeds, I honestly believe he would've WALKED IN any team on earth. Vision, touch, passing, free kicks, shots, leadership, he had everything and he won't be remembered as highly as he should've been, if he played for AC Milan or Man Utd, his name would go in the record books for the next 50 years, probably the most underrated non toon player I can think of. Definitely Scotland's best player since Dalglish imo. Â Threads like this always make me realise I'm "too much" of a Newcastle fan rather than a football fan - I agree with what you say about McAllister up to a point but I always bring to mind NUFC related grudges - in his case an obscene rake down Rob Lee's achilles at Leeds that he should have been hanged for never mind sent off (he got a yellow). Â This is probably why I generally prefer talking about football on here rather than on N-O - there are too many "football fans" on there - I was sickened when they had a thread on favourite ever moment in football how many of them chose non-NUFC related events- and that wasn't just the foreigners [/Gemmill] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something along the lines of "Excellent, do not miss" I think. **** was "Well worth watching". Going back to the days when the Chronicle was still a broadsheet. And half decent.
