RS86 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thought this might make a good thread. What are some great moments you remember from some of our 'less spectacular' players over the years. One in particular I can remember was playing Rangers at Tynecastle, Neil McFarlane picked the ball up in midfield and was being closed down by two players. Did a quick step-over and then skipped between the two of them, silky bit of skill. Over to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Grappelli Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Great thread sir. Willie Jamieson's last minute rocket against Celtic. Talk about scenes. Adrian Boothroyd's slalom run in the Cup. It was only against Huntly but still a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Oshaniwa vs god knows who. Wins the ball, beats two men down the main stand side and plays a 1,2 with someone and runs onto the ball 35 yards out, see's his name in the papers already and then just about clears the Gorgie Stand with his effort.

I can remember being in the main stand enclosure and fully expected it to land in the Dunbar End when he ran through. Seemed like it rolled in slow motion but the scenes from behind the goal told me it was going in! A beautiful moment!! Funnily enough he scored another cracker at Tynecastle against Rangers the week after in a 2-1 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also scored a free kick winner against Motherwell at Fir Park! The most ridiculous free kick award for a pass back I’ve ever seen. Chris McCart sliced it into the air and the keeper caught it.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Big Dave's laudrop esk jaunt and 1-2 in the 4- 2 game. Not an average player but a surprising moment. He strolled out of defence as he normally did, bypassing two rangers midfielder's, but instead of stopping there he played a 1-2 , hit the byline and cut it back . Scenes. Willie v Celtic, he rifled it in from about 30 yards. Austin v Celtic. Fozzy on the fence, not for me I was always sure he'd score that.... Jack Hamilton v miller, bad touch, then skinned him!
