McLeish on Sky's Fantasy Football Show

[BobbyBiscuit]

Picks the best XI from the players he played with.  I've not watched it yet, but I've read that his line up was:

 

Leighton

 

Kennedy  Gough  Miller  Nicol

 

Strachan  McAllister  Souness  Robertson

 

Dalglish  Johnston

 

What do you think of that?

 

Personally I wouldn't have Nicol or McAllister anywhere near that side. Probably a close call between John Robertson and Peter Weir, but both great players.

I would have taken McKimmie at left back ahead of Nicol at left back (and right back for that matter) and Davie Robertson and John McMaster too, and would have taken Bett, McStay or Collins ahead of McAllister (if it had to be that type of player).

 

Maybe McDougall, McGhee, Black, Nicholas or Gillhaus ahead of Johnston?  He was a good player in all fairness to him despite his "failings".

 

What would you go for?

Just watched that.

 

He had also previously picked the best XI he had managed which they showed. Looked pish! Most were from the Rangers team ffs.

Gary McAllister was an absolutely cracking player min! You're speaking as if he's talking aboot Jamie!

He was good for Liverpool and Leeds. He was borderline hoop for Scotland.
