I just remember my dad’s reaction to 98. 5-1 was unbelievable and probably the best day of my hearts supporting life, but I don’t think it will ever compare to how the older heads felt in 98.

I think you have to have experienced boys like Fulton to fully understand why folk like Cowie, Grant and to a lesser extent Devlin make us sick

Fulton was the best player on that team over the course of 1998

Fulton - - - - Cameron - - - - Salvatori

That's a central midfield

It was criminal how Craig Brown overlooked him and Cameron

Tbf he was Italian. Great player though

Trying to get the ball off Fulton was like running as fast as you can into tne side of a hotel and trying to grab a croissant off the breakfast table.

Solid. Great control. Could really pick a pass and could run with the ball despite his build.

Agree totally over looked. Loved him.

Glad I'm the age I am.

Robbo. Mackay. Mclaren. McPherson. Levein. McKinlay. Foster. Naismith. Brellier. Salavatori. McCann. Cameron. Bruno. Hartley. Stamp. Flogel. Niemi. Bednar. Janskauskis. Fulton. Weir.

So many who were class or just cult heroes.

The entire Budge era has been devoid of both class players and cult heroes. A few. Over 10 years. Maybe.

That journalism is far lazier than any Lithuanian allegedly was

If you sign enough liths, you'll get the odd decent one
If you sign enough aussies, you'll get the odd decent one. 
The word LAZY is a strange one, though.
