He was a full back, could play on the left or right side. I think you’ll find he was providing a lot of assists for Kenny Dalglish who along with a few other players were known as the “Quality Street Gang”

And yet they never qualified for the 62, 66 or 70 world cup.
You’ll maybe find that “politics” were involved in picking international teams back then
Billy Dean
Player Valuation: £70m
I'm one of his biggest defenders on here but he really shouldn't be picking Maguire and Henderson for this one. I'd actually quite like him to try some untested players, especially at CB. Guehi and Colwill would be good to see
I agree, I think Kane is another one who could be doing with a rest.
I think at that point of his career he could barely stand up
Wasn't that just after the England game in 67 as well.
Deary me, he has the odd great game and does a bit of keepy up and that's world class in your book.
Lads remember that time when Billy Kenny got man of the match against Liverpool.
World Class he is now.
World Class he is now.
Baxter was “arguably” World Class, because of his story we will never really know. He broke his leg when he was 24/25 and started drinking heavily shortly afterwards. The player than ran Alan Ball ragged was a shadow of himself by that point.
So to sum this thread up, Scotland have had tonnes of world class players throughout their history and England have had 1.
It seems having a good game against Alan Ball makes you World Class.
But Rooney wasn’t world class despite having multiple good games against top defenders.
Bobby Moore, widely accepted as World Class.
Bobby Chatlton, widely accepted as World Class
Duncan Edwards widely accepted as a “special” player. Died very young, so it’s hard to say what might have been.
Dixie Dean, maybe, I’ve no idea.
Tom Finney, regarded as. World Class, but we are starting to go way back now.
Stanley Matthews again a legend, World Class? And starting to go quite far back.
Gordon Banks regarded as World Class.
Scotland have probably produced a similar number of World Class players as England in the “ Modern” times. If you go further back it’s difficult to saybecause we didn’t play at World Cups. But there are some quality Scottish players in the 50’s before WW2 etc, same as with England.
