Second best is Cosgrove, in terms of consistent scoring. Next would probably technically be Scott Vernon. Which is fucking nuts. 
 

Had a Mackie 10 top in my youth. He used to get stick from the crowd constantly and I wanted to be a contrarian.

Shearer had Jess, Booth, Joe Miller etc taking the weight off his shoulders....if he wasn't scoring, they were

Your point being?

edit......it's spelt "Eusebio" btw

My point is that Cosgrove gets pelters for being crap outside the box but those other striker were also crap outside the box, contributing nothing.  Getting rid of him wont solve our lack of goals, he was good inside the box when May was alongside, maybe  Hedges and  Wright will hit it off again and start creating chances, maybe trying McGinn up front would help.  Not 90 minute fit but a smart footballer who can score/create goals. 

(Thanks for the spelling correction)

Falconer was not a better striker than Cosgrove and Joe Harper once went about 4 months without scoring when he was at his peak. (Harper was excellent anywhere, maybe a bit small for centre half)

 I can Guarantee you all of Mcdougall, Shearer & Rooney would have scored on Saturday in their prime.

 

I agree, maybe Cosgrove would have as well given Wrights chances

Booth and Jess had half decent scoring records but Jess was getting more assists. Miller was never a goal scorer

Jarvie wasn't underrated. We all knew how good he was. That goal v. Bastards at Hampden when we gave them 5 was awesome.

 

Just looked that game up on YouTube. Every goal was superb. Jocky Scott’s opener was a classic piece of counter attacking at pace.

But Jarvie’s, as you have said, was awesome. 

 

Ach. This nostalgia is bittersweet.

There's a fair chance Wright won't even be at the club in 2 weeks time.

I agree May and Cosgrove were a good combination but May is gone. McGinn might have worked in the past...but I'm afraid Old Father Time has caught up with him. I predict next season he will be winding down his career in Norn Ireland (I'll predict at either Cliftonville or Coleraine)

Falconer was a far better player that Cosgrove could ever hope to be. Cosgrove is a finisher, nothing else. 

Harper...could control and pass the ball. I still wouldn't have liked to have seen him play anywhere other than centre forward though. Especially in his second spell.

I do agree Cosgrove would have buried at least one of Wtight's chances though...probably both

My favourite Dons strip of all time that one.

A thing of beauty.

Is he still in Bothwell? 

Always wondered what players like Falconer did/do after their careers ended. Never quite thought of as being heroes or players that were in the team week in, week out. 

They made a living as a footballer and were good players but as they weren't a Nicholas or Shearer did that mean they got less reverence but also less hassle or attention in the city?

Pretty random and bizarre questions here, I know!

 They actually look like they are enjoying it.

Unlike the present lot who look like playing in red is a chore.

To be fair if the current team were horsing the Tribute Act 5-1, I think they’d look like they were enjoying it.

Adidas need to make some sort of version of that Admiral kit.

He can often be seen on top of the south stand during match days

Some company have done this retro version. I got it as a Christmas present a couple years ago.

Here’s a question.  Was there not a version with the stripes down the other side?  Or was my late seventies spent in mirror vision?

You say Cosgrove would have buried these chances but he had a good chance of his own at 2-1 where he tripped over his own feet and missed the ball

Looks good apart from the lettering

Cosgrove's idea of what constitutes putting a shift in is a disgrace in my eyes.

Maybe a copyright issue?

Hopefully someone from Adidas is looking in and working on an updated version of this!

Do Admiral still exist? 

Might be worth asking them to do a limited run 

[sooth_stander]

Wouldn't it be soooo Derek McInnes if, after selling Cosgrove this window, he goes out and signs Ross Stewart and Marley Watkins; 2 players currently crocked?

I think they possibly do. I was thinking more in terms of the club not permitting use of the badge for any unofficial garments. In saying that, doesn't seem to stop the outfit that makes the retro kits. Think someone posted a link to them before.
