Most of those players would be automatic picks in our current team*, but the amazing thing is that we actually finished in 7th place that season.
* despite their age :-)
Brian Hamilton 1st pick ? Mind him saying he would rather lick stamps than re-sign on at Hibs. Hertz then paid £250 k for him.

That was his most obvious contribution for us (not that I recall a lot of others).Quote:

I’m seeing Goram, Collins and possibly Weir...Quote:

Houchen wasn't a good player. I think that goal at tynecastle was a little deceiving. He was generally pretty poor though...
In the cowshed that day and on TV when Mickey’s shot trundles in.
There was some eruption in ER when that went in and we knew we were sending the Govan Galaticos packing.
Houchen was bloody awful man.Quote:

Easy to get nostalgic but not a great side.
Quality in Goram and JC but that apart nobody special.
Neil Cooper not Neale. Both played for Aberdeen unfortunately Neale is no longer with us.Quote:

Yeah, Houchen was good in his day but was disappointing at ER.
My favourite would be Hunter but I'm biased (same school). I do think he would fit into our current back line, as he was nowhere near as injury prone as some of our current picks.
Brian Hamilton cost £250k ffs..in today's money that's about £600k..Quote:
