My memory was it was a cracker but I was only 13 at the time and maybe looking through rose tinted spectacles. Can anyone confirm? Was having a howler and getting dogs abuse all game. Hit the winner and by God did he let us know! He was absolutely raging!!!! Straight up to the main stand, everyone suddenly loved him and it was HE who was shouting dogs abuse at US!!!! Great days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Fascinating topic, but I would have to stick with the very specific definition of iconic. So it is not the best signing, it is the one that is immediately sums of the characteristics of that manager and his tenure. So on that basis: Clark: any right back (immediately representing the chaotic transfer strategy) McCulloch: Power (representative of all the good signings he identified but didn't manage effectively) Clarke: Mulumbu is an obvious one (representing the way the club gained a new energy and new respect) but Bachmann is another good shout (achieved results that were way beyond what was expected, made Killie hard to beat, and we would be better if he was able to stay for longer than he did) Edited August 19, 2019 by Jon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that vein I would choose: Locke: any ex-Hearts player. Representing the way he signed any ex-Hearts player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Eddie Morrison - rashid sarwar ( rare to see an Asian in the game back then) who was our first black player? I remember a stocky black winger in the late 80s..Michael something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Danny as being a fairly limited wide player, who was one of the weaker links in the side.

He always seemed to play the next week no matter how bad he was. However his goal tally is one of the highest of any player since we came back up, largely based on being here a while and knocking in half a dozen a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1869 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Invincibile was a good player for us, omly problem was he looked to lose interest during games, and frustrated that he couldve done better for us. Decent return in goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny was a strange player, I liked him and was a good servant to the club but for me he was whatever the opposite of the phrase "greater than the sum of his parts" is, massively frustrating at times Strong, pacey, good strong shot, great in the air, above average dribbler, amazing fitness, good defensive work rate even on a bad day, lovely hair...just somehow didn't all quite click into a great footballer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
