It was almost a done deal until Seville came in at the last minute and offered more. He went there. I mind Jim McLean raging at the time. Wouldve been some signing considering he was one of the players of the tournament at Mexico 86. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19880123&id=XjpAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UlkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5727,5113023&hl=en Edited September 20, 2016 by McTeeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 He did. His first and second games for Brazil I think. Anyway the two I came on to post about (Gillhaus and Sauzee)  have already been mentioned. Gillhaus was really really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetish Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Antonio CalderĂ³n was a class act for Airdrie.....the tail end of his career and didn't have much pace but he always seemed to have SO much time on the ball. Scored a couple of crackers too. FernĂ¡ndez, San Juan and Sanchez Broto were too good for that division too and they went on to play for Livi Celtic and Killie.....but everything to CalderĂ³n was effortless.....pretty sure if he could do it on wet winter night in Division 1 then Stoke on a similar night wouldn't hold any fears either.

Argentina international Victor Ferreyra was.  He was brilliant for a while, if a total bampot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo87 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Lewis Grabban for Motherwell...5 appearances no goals. Bought for £8million by Bournemouth 8 years later I'd be amazed if many players who have played in Scotland have went for such fees at some point afterwards in their career.

Did anybody witness Chris Waddle playing for Falkirk? He wasn't up here long...  Saw him in a game against East Fife in an early season game at the old Bayview. He got a fair bit of abuse from a group of East Fife fans in the wam-up, mostly relating to his ample girth, but took it in fairly good stead. It was weird seeing a player like that at that level. On top of which East Fife won 4-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, and true, story about him being half caned before match at Berwick and being posted missing in the 1st half. He was subbed at half time and once game finished he was gone, nowhere to be seen. He was found safe and well in the Angel Inn getting full again 500 yards from Shielfield Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also in Thessaloniki before Macedonia, think we got the train up the day before matchday, there were a few locals who were only interested in talking to me about Karapidis who was at Hearts at the time as he was born in Thessaloniki and had played for PAOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special mention for big DVT for obvious reasons. Can anyone name the signing we made of a European Cup winner ? All exactly as I would have said.
