The game wasn’t great last night, was it ?<\/p>\n
But it got me thinking, what if players of yesteryear had been given the benefits of sports science ?<\/p>\n
What if they had an improved diet ?<\/p>\n
Instead of the usual all time best eleven, usually a four four two, how would it look if it was a 4-2-3-1 ?<\/p>\n
And who would have been in the side ?<\/p>\n
Makes a change from just picking the Lions with Danny McGrain at right back.<\/p>\n
Though lets keep it to players you have seen “live”, either on television or at the game. That way, we should get a bit of variation.<\/p>\n
For me, a fit and healthy Artur Boruc would be in goal, with McGrain, Roy Aitken, Billy McNeill and Tommy Gemmell as the back line. Aitken could move forward with the ball, and would have been immense in this set up.<\/p>\n
It gets a little trickier with the midfield two.<\/p>\n
My first game was in 1972, and I cannot remember seeing Auld or Murdoch, so I’m going with Paul McStay and Paul Lambert.<\/p>\n
The next three would be Bobby Lennox, Kenny Dalglish and Jimmy Johnstone.<\/p>\n
Speed, guile, trickery and goals.<\/p>\n
With Henrik Larsson up front .<\/p>\n
No doubt you’d have your own thoughts. While away a minute or two putting them down.<\/p>\n
