Yep, 1970 - he was touted as the next George Best.

Well to be honest with the ex hearts guy I would of hung myself after being released by the Jam Tarts ...

Tore Andre Flo is the worst signing in Scottish History by a county mile but to be fair to him he was just one of a similar ilk who thought they could just turn up at the top table of Scottish Football and stroll through the games ... in no way could he handle the physical (and mental) demands of playing for one of the biggest teams in the country. After 18 months with the gers he was worth about 2 bob (which was not a great sign considering he was on ?60,000 a week)

As a Southampton fan we do have a few good ones!!! As already mentioned the infamous Ali Dia aka Weahs cousin, I believe Le Tiss was replaced by Dia in that game.... what a world apart those two were!! Also Agustin Delgado was poor, never did anything cost us 3.5 million and Strachan once claimed he was more worried about his yoghurt in his fridge near the expiry date than Delgado. And also (not a player) but Rupert Lowe bringing in Clive Woodward as Technical Director or something along those lines was intresting to say the least!!!

lol, no offence croft but apart from the endless games you have with celtic each season the league really is as lightweight and easy going as its made about to be.

Sure you need physical attributes against players with limited ability, but that goes pretty much everywhere..if you dont manage at least 20 goals a season with rangers/celtic as a striker you are indeed complete wank

Hammer4life your attitude is typical of english football fans who think their game is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Take the big 4 out of your league and within 2 years both rangers and celtic would be on top. West ham are small fry in comparison.

In terms of dreadful signings celtic signed rafeal schiedt (by name and nature) he was bought after celtics management watched a tape with him in it for ?5 million. Last a couple of games b4 realising he was pure scheidt.
