Still a quality Championship-level striker - I doubt you'll get many Wasps who'd argue that Danny Lennon's biggest failing was in not re-signing him for us. The rumour was that Liam got sick of waiting around when Livi had a firm offer for him. Sickener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like it much, but he's good at it, and it's hard to complain when your team's benefitting. He'd be just as good without it, but I'm sure he'd argue that part of his game has more positives than drawbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came back to pre-season training and would probably have signed again until Livingston's transfer embargo was then lifted and he obviously took the full-time deal. Can't pin that one on Danny Lennon at all. I feared Buchs was a busted flush when we signed him but he had a great season and scored some famous goals. Just one season with us but earned a place in club history. Really put his own career back on track as well. Could still do a job in the Championship.

AMC13 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 He truly is the best striker in this league by a mile. Andy Ryan and players like that can only dream of having a quarter of his goal scoring ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned down other clubs to stay at Alloa and I don't think Alloa gave him a great offer in the end. That's what I understand anyway. Great player and a class act. Would love to see him back at Alloa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why they took Chopra back but with hindsight I'm sure you could have used some of that cash to tie up Buchs and had enough left over to get somebody else half decent in too. Probably wouldn't have been enough to save us anyway, there were more fundamental problems with that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivi1 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's rare you see a player get better as they get older but Buchanan is in the form of his life, considering he's been one of the top goal scorers in the league the last 3 or 4 season even though he's been in struggling teams is complement to him. Its not just his goal scoring though, he has a proper football brain, really good at holding the ball up and bringing people into the game. We've been lucky to have him during his best career spell and I recon he's still got a good couple years of scoring at a good level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 150 goals? God I can remember when he just started to break into our first team. Scored some crucial goals for us including the opening goal when we won our first league title in 67 years. Think he had a wee spell where he struggled for form once he left Partick. Did he not end up in Ireland for a little while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen him much lately but was a cracking player at Cowden. Some team with him and Markus running riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Clarke and Buchanan up top with Markus and Morgaro Gomis in midfield. We had Gary Smith and Innes Ritchie at the back - was one hell of a spine we had. How I miss them right now If I remember right we started the 06/07 season with something like 18 goals in our first 4 matches (including the cup) which included 4 goals in 5 minutes against Alloa!

fifer67 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Will always remember him scoring a fantastic winner for us at east end park a few years ago a brilliant floated shot over the keeper. When we got relegated that season he had fallen out of favour with Gary Naysmith and the up coming Nathan Austin had become first choice striker.Having seen him on Saturday he was a standout in a very mediocre livingstone team.

airdrieman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Was poor for us but then again he only played about 6 games for one of the worst Airdrie sides of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Pittman have been stand outs this season. Wouldn't judge us on our games against East Fife at Bayview though, we wouldn't be sitting top of the league if we'd played as badly in all our other games.
