He was clean through a couple of minutes into his debut (Dundee?) from memory. It could all have been so different!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked absolutely shattered after it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanEwart Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I remember McInally saying some years later that he didn't sign for Killie, he signed for Tommy Burns...pity you forgot to play for him "Rambo". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for pity - Scottish Cup Finalists; Scottish Association of Boys' Clubs Cup winners; Strathclyde Cup winners; and dominated Ayrshire Boys football for about 6 seasons. Provided 3 players for Killie (2 of whom were never gonna make it and were usually our subs) and one, Andrew Brown, who would have been a superstar but broke his leg badly in about his 6th game for Killie and never made it back - unbelievable talent lost to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those that were consistently mince over a prolonged period? Perhaps this will prove controversial but there was no bigger disappointment for me than McCoist. Over-hyped and overweight for most of his time at RP - until, that is, he landed the part in the Robert Duvall film and then he shifted twa stane in about a month. Also, totally couldn’t bring himself to score against the Huns. Apart from him, big Nishy was a shockingly limited footballer who wouldn’t have got a game for my U16 side. Colin Nish was brilliant! Were you one of those guys who hurled abuse at him as he knocked in his 15 goal of the season? How I wish we still had a Nish in our team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never hurl abuse at any of our players but I got very frustrated by Nish - uncoordinated and I must have seen him miss about 40 absolute sitters in games for Killie. In the team we had at the time, he should have scored double the goals he did. I did say it was a bit controversial.... ho hum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young Boyd would never have squared a ball when there was a sight of goal. I think if you have 3 players chipping in 15 goals each a season the blend must be right. I think the problem people had with Nish was he was 6 foot 3 or whatever but pretty tame in the air. I think it's similar to Peter Crouch down south who is another player I think was fabulous!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanEwart Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was at the game Andy Brown broke his leg, v Partick Thistle at Rugby Park. A freezing cold day, the coldest I've ever been at a game, a drab 0-0, and a horrendous injury to one of our players. Not a good day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodgdan Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Kieran Agard wasn't great for us but think has done ok down south since. Remember a guy called something like Sammy Boutal. Think he scored on his debut maybe against Dundee and never heard of again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Milton Thompson was one half of the Thompson Twins in a team which struggled to get out of the bottom tier at the time. David Thompson was arguably the worse of the duo as we paid money for him. He came from Stirling Albion with the reputation as a goalscoring winger, including seven in a 20-0 Scottish Cup win over Selkirk. He turned out to be a big tumshie.

Four starts and three goals doesnae seem like a bad return on the face of it! EDIT: after Skydog's post above guess it's quite possible all goals came in that 20-0!
