historyman Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 8 hours ago, Beaker71 said: Paul Clarke deserved a move down south, like Kenny Armstrong both he and McDicken had the ability to go far beyond Killie as we were then. Shame that they both missed the opportunities that the league down south could’ve afforded them. I'm pretty sure Killie turned down a bid from stoke city for PC. Both him and Big D would have great in the English game as it was then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I was expecting a question about how he felt about the Stoke bid being rejected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azert Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I thought it was funny the part about him going upfront to have a kick at one of the Clydebank players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back 5 we had at the time were as good as any full time time team . Scottish football was a mess, with Paul saying he was playing against Dalgleish, Johnston and Harper alike who were full time players. You have to have the utmost respect for these guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garye Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think that if you are a certain age it was guys like Paul Clarke and Big D that defined Killie when you were growing up. It was a real pleasure to watch that interview and brought back alot of good memories from when I was just in primary school and following Killie through the ups and downs of promotion and relegation over that period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiesince69 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Paul Clarke also suffered a little due to the charisma of Big D who had all the songs- "big D's gonna get ya" and "Barcelona, Real Madrid, Big D's worth a million quid" but PC was the more cultured player, great interview and i vividly remember the Clydebank goal although i remember that clydebank team as being a very good football side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieBus Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I can vividly (in my head at least) remember the goal he talks about in the interview - the clubs first in the Premier League but don't remember much else about the game. Would be great to see it again to see if it matches my memory of it. I'm thinking Motherwell, finished 1 each and I think big Paul scored to put us one up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 An excellent interview, listening to that brought back some good memories of when i started following Killie.
