Fun fact: Silvester Takač, one of the best players of his generation, was sold midway through FC Vojvodina's 66/67 season to secure money for stadium floodlights - aptly nicknamed Takač's eyes. Vojvodina would eventually narrowly lose to Celtic in the quarters of the European Cup - a loss many of us, Vojvodina fans, maintain would have never come to pass had Takač remained at the club.

Fascinating, thanks for the comment.

I don't follow Scottish football that closely but this is another great video, well produced, well told and not an inch of filler on it. This channel will be big very soon.

[@_resource-guy1878]

Maybe sooner or later, can we get a video on Steve McLaren's Twente vs Martin Jol's Ajax in 2010. Ajax scored 106 goals that season and still didn't win the league with Luis Suárez and Pantelic. Twente won it with Bryan Ruiz and a young Luuk de Jong

Franck Sauzee was truly a fantastic player! I remember being blown away by the fact he signed for Hibs! I miss the days when Scottish teams were able to attract players like Sauzee, Cannigia, the deBoer brothers, Larsson, Ravanelli, etc! I mean, can you believe that both Cannigia and Ravanelli played for Dundee???

[@chriskennedy2298]

You forgot David healy

[@michaelward5370]

@@chriskennedy2298, I don't know if I would class David Healy as a big name player like Ravanelli or the deBoer brothers! He was a good player though!!

[@runningsuperska]

Damn, Marseille were well dodgy! Jean Pierre Papin was always banging the goals in, when I watched Transworld Sport.

[@flashbackfootball1367]

That's the bold Bernard's influence. He did assemble a rediculous squad though and Papin was a beast.

[@melanineyedoc]

Your videos are excellently produced!!! Please keep up the good work.

[@Hercules_88]

Your videos are class. I didn't have cable tv back then. as a Celtic fan i just saw him when i was in pub & was Hibs v Celtic or Hibs v Rangers. I didnt realise how good he was. He was magic.

[@PatrickIS-mb2hr]

What about a video about Rui Costa, Bixente Lizarazu, Sidney Govou or Ludovic Guily ? Cause these guys are legends but no one ever talks about them

[@alba..8479]

Because most are about players that played in Scotland

[@jasoncorr4619]

So strange I was thinking about Lizarazu yesterday

[@christophergallagher3845]

[@mijo3409]

French football enthusiast over here. Waiting your video about Lionel Charbonnier.

[@amc2004uk]

I remember being at a Kilmarnock v Rangers game at Rugby Park I was in the away end a few rows down from Lionel Charbonnier, Killie brought on Christophe Cocard and played the French national anthem, Charbonnier was standing up like a band conductor while all the Gers fans in the stand were singing along to La Marseillaise.

[@jonathanmcroberts8549]

Another really brilliant video. And a complete Random subject. Brought me back to when I lived near Easter Rd when Sauzee was a Hibee.

[@DuncanLeslie-nv3wu]

He played defence midfield and up front for Hibs in every game , legend 💚

[@thunderchildSCO]

Was lucky enough to watch Sauzee at my club Hibs. A class act on and off the pitch, treated terribly by an inept chairman and the board of directors.

[@whoppersupper3970]

When Sauzée signed with my hometown team Atalanta it didn't go well, we got relegated actually, but I've always liked his career as a footballer especially the time he spent in Scotland. Great video!

[@larrydavid6852]

This channel is great

[@MrBunney91]

I don’t know if you do requests but here goes; Please do a video on Jorge ‘El Magico’ Gonzalez, such an outstanding player who doesn’t get close to the respect he deserves. Judging by your past videos you will absolutely love him too if you aren’t familiar with him!

[@caeserromero3013]

Waddle's nickname at OM was 'Magic Chris'....however, even though he had 'Magical skill', apparently the nickname was due to his having video tapes of the Paul Daniels Magic Show sent to him from England to alleviate his home-sickness 🤣🤣

[@flashbackfootball1367]

I really hope that's true 🤣

[@ashp1434]

Great video pal. You do sound a lot like a younger Graham Souness

[@borisjackson3208]

Hey Mate, your videos are great, and enjoy tactical elements you fold in and wanted to ask if not to much would you do a video on Paul McStay at all ? Am a late 90s early naughties Celtic supporter myself but I'd love to learn how good he was but how unlucky he was also, especially under Tommy, god rest his soul 😢

[@Midtable1881]

Excellent video. May I recommend a future video on Sylvian Wiltord?

[@tonydeb6793]

Franck was my favorite player in Marseille

[@RangersDubai]

would love to see some more career stories of some other cult heroes from Scottish clubs like maybe Nadir Çiftçi for Dundee United the foreign ones are always very interesting. A career story of GMS could also be very interesting, a Brazilian stuck in a Scotsman’s body just like Davie Cooper!

[@trisdj]

How about a video on the Trinidad 06 team and their Scottish connections? Marvin Andrews , Jason Scotland, Colin Samuel, a fair few of that famous team found their feet in the SPL! 🇹🇹
