Scotlands last genuine world class player?

Anyone who thinks Darren Fletcher is a defensive midfielder clearly knows nothing about football.

Neither was Roy Keane, incidentally.

Lambert was. He played the "Makelele role" before anyone had heard of Makelele.

I remember Roy Keane playing as a centre forward for Notts Forrest back in the day. But he definitely was a defensive midfielder as opposed to a creative one. As is Fletcher at this point in his career.

What do people class as "world class"?

World Class would be a player able to walk into any team in the world, except for the tiny reason that he's not necessarily born there. For example, Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale are world class (though neither could walk into the Scotland team).

Whilst clearly taking the piss, Quashie was an excellent midfielder for Scotland. Terrific player.

Agreed - a real dynamo. He epitomised the rocket up the arse Walter Smith gave the national team (even tho Berti gave him his debut). Would have won 25 caps or so had he not suffered years of injury after breaking through for us.
