Any list would have to include Tommy Coyne, James McFadden, Davie Cooper, Phil O'Donnell, Keith McCrae, Joe Wark, Willie Pettigrew, Bobby Graham, Bobby Watson, Brian Heron, Vic Davidson, Paul Lambert, Brian Martin, etc.....

Good man...any discussion will be welcome and good natured

Brilliant

You are basing that on one video!. Jeez gie him a chance, probably nervous as he has big boots to follow. In Alfred we trust

That made me titter

In selfish mode I hope Egypt beat new Zealand as it helps Scotland... A 4-3 win with just hat trick be perfect

I'm beginning to think that, even if Just were Scottish, he wouldn't be getting a call-up from Mr Clarke, hat-trick or not.

I think these comments come off the back of the BBC Sportsound article where there was discussion about the importance to players of a good first impression. I suppose a first impression is by definition something you can't define. It's a feeling rather than something more objective. Unfortunately he is going to be compared to Askou and unfortunately for Johansson that is going to be a very difficult act to follow. We all hope he can match Askou's success but the slight nervousness is understandable because Askou has set such an impressive precedent.

Jim Jeffries and Jock Wallace had an aura.

He's managed at Rosenborg , he's not a novice...like I say it's the close season for folks.

Must be the close season , finding things to judge people on that you can't " define" I agree re jba but this guy has a good reputation, that'll do for me just now.

At that age he will get on well with our 35 year old chairman!

He scored record number of goals for the club and had a tragic end probably resulting from an undiscovered brain condition: a legend in Cardiff as well.

I'll have a go but there are better qualified posters than me on here. Hopefully it will generate some discussion.

Without knowing you personally but reading your comments for years I'd say that you're the man for this

Very difficult indeed. Maybe start at 1886 and work our way forwards compiling a list of contenders in the process and then sift through them and sort in order.

Yes horrific end to a talented life, much in the same way as Hugh Gallagher of Airdrie and Newcastle

Yes difficult but liverpool have managed it...and if nothing else it creates a bit of discussion and no one will ever agree

Great call. But what a sad end to his life. Tragic.

Very difficult to do, its nigh on impossible to compare players in the last 10 or 20 years with those from further back as they played a totally different game from what we see now. Style of play, tactics, player fitness, rule changes, fans expectations etc you cant compare like for like. Compiling the list is the easy bit thats just names, trying to rate them in any meaningful order is the hard bit, as asking "who is the greatest Morherwell player you have seen play?" Will generate wildly different answers depenfing on the age of who you ask, ie Hughie Ferguson, willie pettigrew, stevie Kirk, or Eli Just to name but a few.

Aye i mind once this guy called Alex Ferguson got East Stirling job 32 years old,then went to St Mirren at 35 and I am pretty sure took over at Aberdeen at 36.Turned out to have a decent career from what I heard. Pssst wait till he hears about Julian Nagelsman. Age means nothing he has experience what counts of domestic league and European football.

Good shout...hes some stiff opposition though How would we compile it?

No 1 for me is a no brainer. Hughie Ferguson.

II will be disappointed with anything less than a hat trick from Elijah tonight. By the morning I expect us to be talking about a Scottish Football record evaluation for a player. It's not too much to ask is it? Maybe Messi will be wanting to come to Motherwell to see if the coaching methods can make him as good as Just.

Just off the back of what liverpool are doing...its only playing that seems to be the criteria and not managing or anything else Thats not to take away from Stevensons efforts
