I Salute You Craig Gordon

12 months ago Craig Gordon had been out of the game for over two years through injury and looked like he might never be seen in a professional team again. Fast forward to now and he picks up Scottish Football Writers' Association player of the year award. What an inspirational story.

I salute you Craig, you never gave up and worked your socks off and you deserve every plaudit that you get.

:sing: Scotland’s Number 1

Correct.just a pity he got injured as would have been as good as anyone in the world.

Look at Buffon, Gordon still could have 5 to 7 years left in him. I don't see why not, I think he is that good.

Will never forget when we beat France 1-0 at Hampden and the final whistle blew. Gordon was down on his knees and just exploded with joy. He's clearly always loved playing for Scotland.

Was the gold Keeper kit as well. Not normally one of those "full kit w***ers" who buy every kit including the goalie's kit, but was tempted at that time

He was outstanding that day, in the last minutes every time he saved the ball he was down onto his belly wasting time, doing anything he needed to. Will never forget the final whistle

Ur, Buffon's greatness has much to do with his fitness and rarely picking up injuries. Not exactly an apposite keeper to compare Gordon to.

No, I see your point, what I was trying to get at was goalkeepers playing well into their late 30s and Gordon could have the next 5 years to become a footballing great.

Gordon has had a great come back. I won't be surprised if a bigger club come in for him in the summer.

Not a chance this summer. If he continued to play well for Celtic for another year injury free then yes. Bigger clubs will want to make sure his injury past has well and truly gone.

Right in saying Faddy on 49 caps? Surely a wee call for our next friendly against a team like the Faroes or Estonia could happen so he gets his 50 and deserved place in Hall of Fame.

Normally I disagree with such things as that but I believe he should be given an exception.

Aye the whole sentimental thing isn't WGS's MO either normally so can't see it happening. He was the only one who could single handed win games for us in the late Noughties and deserved a spot at a finals. Obviously not happening now but deserves a spot in history among the greats.
