Scotland’s Greatest Night

[Calvin]

Chris Waddle was better than Jimmy Johnstone

No he wasn’t. Celtic were the best team in Europe for a number of years in the late 60’s early 70’s and Jimmy Johnstone was their best player.

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.

Awesome mate, but they didn't win it, so I'm sorry but they're not world class accorrding to you.

 

[Billy Dean]

No he wasn’t

In my opinion he was

 

[Billy Dean]

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

Michael Owen did

Michael Owen won it, can we put him on the world class list?

I would suggest that being 2nd in the Ballon D’Or is an indication that you’re a pretty decent football player

But not world class. According to you.

 

[Billy Dean]

Shearer was better than Denis Law IMO

 

[Moomin]

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

Wouldn't call it heart breaking to me but he achieved a lot more at International and club level compared to a drunken bum who had a good game against Alan Ball once.

Next up for World Class Footballer is ' See You Jimmy "

Come back tomorrow when @Calvin explains why Jim Leighton is a better keeper than Manuel Neuer.

Andy Goram is ahead of Lev Yashin on anyone's list.

Maradona was ok but he was not in the same world as Alan Brazil.

You'll correct me, but I can't remember Maradonna even being on the same pitch as Law, so it's basically impossible to quantify him.

Colin Hendry is in the same bracket as Beckenbauer, possibly just ahead.

According to @Calvin Colin Hendry was also better looking than Maldini.

According to @Calvin Colin Hendry was also better looking than Maldini.

I mean, obviously. Hendry had at least one decent half against Gascoigne whereas Maldini didn't even have a mullet.

If you're not going to debate this seriously then there's no point. Had this with mates in the pub, they refuse to see Oli McBurnie in the same bracket as the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Horrible bunch of cretins.
