alscotoz Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 There may be a thread on this already, so apologies if there is, can it and amalgamate. I played with David Robertson (Aberdeen Primary Select) who was signed by the Dons and then went somewhere else. Think a few others went onto play Highland League. What about yourselves?

ferlaytio Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Stuart Duff. Martin Wood who started a few games for Motherwell. Murray McCulloch who started a few games for the Dons under Pele. By far the best player I ever played with however was Chris Ogboke. His bad attitude meant he never played at a higher level than Montrose but he was quality. Link to comment

I played against Steven McGarry a couple of months ago... most Scottish fans probably wouldn't recognise him these days - the trademark locks are gone - he's as bald as Tup now! Link to comment

mutant Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Played against David Goodwillie , was always a stand out and also Andrew Shinnie. Played with Paul Emslie who went to Rangers who was the best I had played with . Link to comment
tup Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Attitude is everything really. Too many folk concentrate on ability, and laud those with utterly atrocious attitudes. Stokes and Commons being two notable current examples of this ridiculousness. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 That's how I look on it. How many guys did you play with who could have made it, who had ability at 10yo that you could only dream of but who 6 years later were drinking, sniffing, snorting and whoring themselves to oblivion. And they could still beat you! Link to comment
tup Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We concentrate on ability alone in this country. It's stupid. Instill a proper attitude to life first and the ability will naturally flourish. We let the tail wag the dog in dumb and naive fashion. Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Paul Lawson who went to Celtic, Ross County and Motherwell. He was at Aberdeen for a spell until he and one other got told not to come back for disappearing to Leeds for a trial if I remember right. Andy Considine at Aberdeen. Foster at Aberdeen. Stuart Holden who went to Bolton - played with him at King Street before his family moved to the States. Maloney trained for a stint at Aberdeen. Rake of highland league players but I'd say the ones above were the ones who "made it". Link to comment

Ke1t Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think Levi Stephen was the most naturally gifted player I played against. I remember not even being able to catch him to give him my customary boot 10 feet into the air. Good example of why you don't sign for the Huns. Link to comment

Dazzler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ryan Strachan at Peterhead is the only one I've played with and that was at primary school. Think he was at Celtic before signing for the blue toon. Link to comment
