For me Billy Findley in the late 80s maybe early 90s, looked a decent youngster at the time, not sure if he came through our ranks or not I think he went to Kilmarnock after.

Signed from Killie as a youngster on a 5 year deal the first such deal at that time IIRC

El Alagui. I'm convinced if he hadn't got that injury at Alloa he would've hit at least 20 goals that season.

Alex Harris is the obvious one. Exploded into the team but was never the same after the hatchet job on him. I'm convinced he was deliberately targeted that day.

Was my first thought felt like he really wanted to be here

He really enjoyed his goal against Hearts

The one he scored at Tynecastle was quite something.

Was a despicable challenge. Shaun Hutchinson Motherwell from what i remember. In saying that i think it is difficult to argue imo his career path fundamentally changed after the injury

My partner knows a friend of Alex - a certain thug of a manager didn’t help his career at all either.

Yes, ET hated him after that dreadful tackle. I only saw the tail end of his playing career and he was a right carthorse, who put it about.


Stuart Boam of Boro didn't do him any favours either. Broke Alex's leg twice, a year apart in corresponding fixtures. It's more or less what finished his time at Arsenal.

Not sure Brownlie could ever have been a mainstay for Scotland, while Greig and then McGrain were available.

He was first pick at right back before his injury. Not sure Greig was ever a right back? He was pretty much done as an international player before Brownlie emerged, maybe you're thinking of Sandy Jardine, who was a rival for the right back spot before McGrain came to prominence?

A few good shouts, Baillie at centre half, Dempsie too and Mark McGraw, who was never the same player after being crocked v the Hun in the semi final.

Rather than mismanagement from Butcher, I think what derailed his progress was the broken ankle he got after a bad challenge by some Motherwell hammer thrower. He was out for a while and was never the same after that injury IMO. Looked timid and devoid of confidence on his return, when he was previously the total opposite.

Thats what I said was it no, he got a bad injury and was completely mis-managed by Butcher and his side kick Malpas, you stick to your view and I'll keep mine.

Brownlie was better than both of them

Correct, he really was different class, remember watching him score at Hampden against the hun in a semi final, great goal seen from up high on the old terrace if memory serves me right. wonderful player.

John Brownlie was the best right back in Scotland at his peak with the tornadoes and the best I've seen at Hibs.

He was only 20 when he was injured against East Fife. What a peak it would have been.

At the same time, Alex Cropley was 21.

Definitely should have known that, shows me two things. We took a lot for granted back then, and if you're good enough you're old enough

Not so much injury as a debilitating medical issue, but it was a great shame that Scott Allan wasn't able to continue at the level he previously produced.

Scott Allan is everything I would pay to see in a footballer. Just a guy who made you love the game.

[beensaidbefore]

Iirc, Paul Lovering was a good wee player and got a pretty bad injury and was never the same after that.

He was the name that came to mind for me. A great talent but couldn’t get back to the levels he played at before, which was sad to see.

Paul Wright wasn’t the same for us after Neil Berry assaulted him.

Mmm. He just turned out to be over hyped and not very good.

Got a horrendous injury and was rushed back too soon and was mismanaged by our idiot of a Manager scored a sublime goal versus Falkirk

Totally agree on Paul Wright was on fire for us and got my vote Berry should have been taken to Court for assault
