I looked him up on the fooball sites and read more. A very talented footballer. "Dutch international Ruud Gullit played against Davie Cooper in a friendly match for Feyenoord against Rangers, after which he called Cooper one of the greatest players he had ever seen. Gullit later named Cooper in his greatest XI in football magazine 4-2-4." The two that I'm inclinded to put up into my team are Richard Gough and Colin Hendry.

mommysboy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Scotland appear to have a repertoire of failure that is seemingly inexhaustible when it comes to negotiating final hurdles. Yet, it should be noted that this time the seeds were sown in the early games. Indeed, a draw against Slovenia is a decent result, as they are pretty useful on their own mud heap. Also, they drew with England and beat Slovakia- a work in progress perhaps! It would be a mistake to lose Strachan! As an Englishman, it's interesting to consider why the EPL based players have been eclipsed by their SPL peers: because of course England as a team draw from the EPL, and they too are woefully underperforming.

Bredbury Blue Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Probably up until the end of 70s, maybe in to the 80s, Scotland used to produce great individuals and a lot of very decent quality internationals. 1. What's the theory behind why that stopped and in recent times there's no great or decent players? 2. Who was the last great player produced?

Bredbury Blue Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 ^In an effort to answer my own questions (above) i had a read around and found this great long article from 2004, in which the reasons for the decline listed are many, the decline commenced around 1985 (seems to fit with my memories of Scottish players over the decades) and "...Lambert and Collins being the last world class players produced in Scotland, it is, of course, debatable as to whether they are that but, what is not up for dispute is that..." (Lambert i didn't see alot of but i was an admirer of Collins in that great Fulham footballing side).
