Scotland’s Greatest Night

[Moomin]

But Rooney wasn’t world class despite having multiple good games against top defenders.

But some drunk deadbeat who abandoned his wife and young family who flopped at Sunderland in his peak years and then gets classed as the worst transfer ever for Notts Forest is World Class.

You

Couldn't

Make

It

Up

It seems having a good game against Alan Ball makes you World Class.

Baxter wouldn’t have got anywhere near a Scotland squad in the 60’s unless he was quality. And the players from that time all say the same thing, Baxter was a special talent.

Who wants to tell him

You gonna be a grammar nazi because I missed a comma

Who wants to tell him

Jim Baxter defeated the Nazi's by himself at the battle of Gettysburg
in 1959.

He done a few keepy uppys and the world class skill caused the Nazi's faces to melt at the beauty.

Rooney was a quality player but he wasn’t world class, he came along at the same time as Messi and Ronaldo and he was a level below those 2

Was Jim Baxter on the same level as Pele?

It’s obviously heartbreaking for you but Rooney wasn’t world class

You've wrote a lot of tosh on here, from Day 1, but this is right up there.

All banter aside, big respect to the Scots and Steve Clarke for the job they’ve done, they’ve come a very long way in recent years from where they were. Haven’t moped about feeling sorry for themselves blaming the population and English born players playing for England instead of them, have knuckled down and got stuck in, and are now getting their rewards. Some of our other home nations could learn a lot from them.

Welcome to the top of the group club boys, and may the best men win tomorrow

Did he win the Ballon d’Or like Denis Law?

Calvin, Jim Baxter lived on a park bench.

He might have done, but he’d still rip the p i s s out of Alan Ball

So to you, if you haven't won a Ballon d'Or you're not world class?

Because if so, that means the only world class player Scotland has ever had is Denis Law.

Completely negating your post below since we've had 4 individuals win it.

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.

Dalglish should have won it but FIFA gave it to Platini instead, so was runner up. Jimmy Johnstone was runner up for the Ballon D’Or.

Chris Waddle was better than Jimmy Johnstone
