The Earl of Hathaway Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Reading about Charlie Adams' dad, I was put in mind of players that people personally like but never turn up in favourite XIs on here. I think most people one here would agree that Andy Lyons fits into that category - I'm wondering (hoping!) if Chris Elliot might be another find from the North East lower divisions in the same mould. Anyone got any nominations or even an XI of players that you really liked but get pushed out of your fave XI by, let's be honest, better players or better servants to Thistle. For myself, I'd have to nominate Gareth Evans, Paul Deas and Lindsay Hamilton - the goalkeeper we had when we got beat by Ayr and relegated Any others?

danish jag Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Jamie Mitchell - shame his career ended so early Good old "Boab" is another personal favourite that I probably would give him a miss in the XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagscast Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Believe it or not, this is remarkably similar to one of the topics that will be discussed at today's recording of the Jagscast! Should be available at some point tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LE BGM Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Alan Morgan - again shame his career ended so early. Roberto Law - Rave on! enough said! Mark McNally - his signing was the turning point in the second division promotion season. Derek McWilliams - strong midfielder who would walk into todays squad Grant Tierney - had hateley in his pocket every time just some i can think of off the top of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjptfc Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Alex Taylor. His late equalising goal against the hu.ns at Ibrox at the end of 94/95 season (The Great escape) is something I'll never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Jag Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Who was that spanish guy we had in the season with Gerry and Derek in the 1st?. I remember he scored a fantastic header against Airdrie at Firhill. I don't think he lasted the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Earl of Hathaway Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Just thought of another one - David McCallum. From Queens Park about the same time as Denis Conaghan (I think) got a really bad knee injury and had to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
