I've just checked with my father who's in his nineties. He confirms he was with me and says that I may be confused but he's not! What's more, he says he thinks it was a Monday night game. l'll find it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only thing I can remember about the game is the World Cup being paraded round the ground at the start. I was at that game too, to see Zidane. He was pretty much the only member of that 98 World Cup and Euro 2000 winning. team that didn't play. When Messi didn't show for the game against Argentina at Hampden after they said he would play and we'd bought the tickets, I decided I was done with international friendlies! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 When did Crouchy play at RP? scraping the barrel here but I think Kevin Campbell and maybe Abel Xavier may have played for Everton at RP in testimonial 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie used to play a lot of friendlies in London - at West Ham, which I think was little more than a trial for Bobby Ferguson, Fulham and Brentford. The players and officials used to come down for the England v. Scotland and play a match on the Friday night. There was a strong connection with Brentford because of Malcolm McDonald, who managed both clubs. It's gutting for me because Fulham and Brentford are my closest clubs and I would love if we could play friendlies now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuocity Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 @skygod and others. Remember we were in Europe in the 90s, it might have been Nice or Kaiserslautern but they had a striker whom I’m sure was called Heinz or something close. He got clapped off by us and I remember him being head and shoulders above everyone technically. Anyone remember and perhaps link me to a wiki? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbs Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 One of the best of the OF mob, imo, rarely gets a mention .... Moravcik. He rocked up with zero fanfare and the entire country going who the feck is this fella ... one destruction of Rangers later shut a lot of folk up ... including a shed load of Celtic fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day that's still the most one sided game I've seen at RP. They ran circles round what was still a pretty decent Killie team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 14 minutes ago, david mcbeth said: Saw Best for Hibs at RP. Portly zero pace but still amazing touch/ passing from recollection. I think we beat them 4-0 in a hastily arranged friendly when a lot of league games were cancelled. Have seen some of the very big names of the late 80s/ 90s one way or another, usually seen when following Scotland or going along as a neutral to Scottish teams' games in Europe. But never really seen any of the Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona level guys. Of the hyped up players the OF (RIP) had over the years the only ones that I saw and thought wow were really Larsson and Van Bronckhorst. Saw wee flashes from fat boy Gazza who I also saw playing for England (yes that fkn goal) and Spurs (anonymous). Personally thought Di Canio also showed flashes of greatness but I was generally underwhelmed by the rest of the OF's array of alleged stars. Larrson and Laudrup were the best two players I've seen play against us for Scottish teams but Fergie's Aberdeen is the best Scottish team I've seen play against Killie - probably helped that we were pretty awful then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killieboykfc Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Maybe not a world beater at the time we seen him play in Scotland, but big Virgil Van Dijk has gone on to become the best defender in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killieboy1980 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Matthew Le Tissier I'm sure played in a friendly. He must be one of the most under rated players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraz65 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Alan Shearer was terrific in the pre-season friendly we had against Blackburn in the mid-nineties. Ronaldinho is the best player I've seen. I can remember being impressed by Liam Brady when I went to a Newcastle match in the late eighties at St James' Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Spurs from the mid-seventies onwards and saw Martin Peters when he was at Norwich - but never saw Fulham at Craven Cottage (or Bobby Moore, humph). I guess Kilmarnock are no longer regarded as suitable opposition, as per the Blackburn games. The 2-1 after 90mins against Notts Forest at Rugby Park was the best game I've seen against English opposition, pity about the extra time. I've been peering at the Glasgow Evening Times' archives for 74, 75, 76 until stupid o'clock to try and find mention of a Kilmarnock v Fulham friendly....the Kilmarnock Standard's archives are not as readily available.....but I'll nail a date or have a brain scan.

Saw Cantona for Man Utd at Loftus Road v QPR. Massive fight in the wee street behind a stand after the game. Nowhere to go so stepped over a wall into a garden. Was really weird. If you stepped into the gardens you were regarded as audience, but fair game if you stayed in the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
