2025/26 Harrison Armstrong




How good was Colin Harvey? Who would you compare him to today?

….great passer of a football but him and Kendall were not the type to make themselves a big goal threat in the top third. His shooting was actually quite poor, not surprising given his notoriously bandy legs, he only scored 18 in over 300 games but he did get a few important goals.

He was very classy but played in a time when many of the top midfielders were close to being thugs (Bremner, Giles, Stiles, McKay etc) so he was tough although you rarely hear fans talk of that dimension with him because he was so classy. I do think Harvey worked with Kendall a bit like Reid worked with Bracewell, and their career stats reflect that.

Top, top player and I’d say the best football coach the club has ever had, so a great understanding of the game.
