The Players That Never Quite Made It

[ericblack4boss]

i will go back to the eighties to start us off, Bobby Geddes former Dundee keeper was a quality goalkeeper who despite good displays every week against top class attackers never played for a top club, or got a call up to the full Scotland squad a shame as he was a good player.

 

another keeper i'll nominate Campbell Israel Money, the St Mirren keeperaas with Geddes he was underated never getting a move to a top side i remeber when Leighton lefet Aberdeen i wanted us to sign Money as replacement anyway we never and he never did move to a top side and despite featuring in many Scotalnd squads he had to get past Leighton, Goram and Roughie and never did gain a fully desreved Scotland cap

Andy Roddie looked great when he first burst through but ended up doing nothing at all with his career.

Ex-Dons -

 

Hugh Roberston - legs like tree trunks and an absolute howitzer of a shot on him I seem to recall, never really progressed.

 

Stephen Payne - as accurate a crosser of a ball as I can remember at Pittodrie.

 

Brian Grant - I would never say Brian Grant never 'made it', but he was a far better midfielder than Paul McStay ever was. McStay got 70+ Scotland caps, Grant didn't get any.

 

Others -

 

Iain Anderson - Winger who played for Dundee in the late 90s. I thought he was a cracking player, then he moved to France and seemed to disappear off the map.

[King Street Loon]

Gerry Creaney, Mark McNally are two I can think off.

[Sheeptastic]

Eoin Jess

[Liam]

Scott Morrison

[Ke1t]

Darren Mackie and the Brothers Young.

[NPRC]

Andrew Bagshaw.

[minijc]

Ian Durrant, load of potential, apparently.

[diamondsr4ever]

The late Steve Gray never filled his potential.

 

Dougie Bell for me should have been capped for Scotland.

 

Stuart kennedy I dont think got as much as he deserved neither
