Ken Fitlike Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Such bliss to have witnessed nearly all Varga’s appearances. Sadly, I never saw Cup-tie McKay. A wry smile thinking about Dadi.Loan player maybe, but I would consider James Maddison a Dons’ Legend... just for THAT free kick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then, Rodney Sneijder is legendary for different reasons, and he definitely didn't play 30 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO'S YER? WHO'S YER FVCKING DADI!!!!! Thanks for that aDONis! A pretty workmanlike display from Mr. Young on the commentary there, sounded like he was reading from a script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Mine is The Monk (Grzegorz Szamotulski). If I remember rightly, Zaluska got injured in pre-season, and recommended his mate, Szamo. I think he made his debut against Barcelona, in which he was only beaten by a late late Henry strike after initially saving the penalty, then he made his competitive debut against Aberdeen in a 1-0 win where he made save after save. Added to how good he was, he was quite mad! In the warmups he used to grab a youth player and tell him to obstruct him while he tried to claim crosses and then proceeded to batter the living daylights out of the kid as he claimed cross after cross. After 18 games, with his short term contract running out, word was he turned down an extension because he didn’t want to keep his mate Zaluska out of the team. Despite winning 13 caps for Poland, he never settled anywhere and went on to play for another 9 clubs after United. A proper legend. Didn’t win fcuk all with us, but loved by all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left after he got pelted with snowballs by Aberdeen fans.* *He was already leaving, but this happened in his last game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I know, I know, he played 40 times for us, but what an impression this loon made. Also, I'd never seen the St Mirren goal, only heard of it's legend (till today). My favourite is the Hibs one... what a laugh that was! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not have won anything like some others on this thread but what a player. The best performance I've ever seen against us by any opposition player. 5-0 at Dens, he scored 3 and I think set up the other 2 (may only have been one other) but he absolutely ruined us. What a performance. I wanted to leave at 4-0 but hung about as he was still on the park. He tortured us that day but it was really something else to behold. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was away down the other end that day and remember folk arguing about how the keeper should have had that. They thought it had to be the goalies fault as no-one could actually appreciate from that far away just how good a dig it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Maybe not a legend but ex-Morton stalwart Joe McLaughlin arrived in March 2000 to help us win Div. 1 when we were looking a bit wobbly played 3 games, all wins, including scoring the winner against Airdrie on his debut then retired at the end of the season - the bubble didnae burst! Scenes of yore - was it Gary McKay who jumped Tom Hendrie at the end of the aforementioned Airdrie game?

CountyFan Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Karim Boukraa. Played exactly 30 games for Ross County. Did nothing much of any note that I could see, although I was very young. Dribbled a lot and huffed about like a french public servant. Countys first and arguably best 'foreign cult hero', the sexy 47 year old man-hunk STILL follows county on twitter and is generally a lovely, badly, sexy French love machine. Supports Macron, good guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is before our time though really. As for the thread in a QoS context, John Stewart surely? Not sure how often he played but he only had half a season on loan so must be under 30. He became a legend in 45 mins though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fits the bill well. He really wasn't very good and didn't have much of a career, despite having played for bigger clubs. He did, however, contribute hugely to arguably our greatest ever moment. Not many foresaw that when Dobbie limped off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrie was giving him a coaly back up the tunnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
