Don't really think it's something that can be measured really. In my supporting lifetime we've gone from Goldthorpe, through Pettigrew and right on to KVV with everything in between. Joe Wark would be up there but so would loads of others. I think (maybe by rose tinted recollection) that the best 'footballer' I remember us having was Vic Davidson, but I could sit all day writing down names of people who could potentially be our 'GOAT'. Unmeasurable really in my opinion.

The generational thing is something I was chatting to someone at work about yesterday. If you had a time machine and went back and got prime Pele, and chucked him in today's Brazil side, would he be any good? Possibly not. But if Pele was born in 2002, and had all the information, training, nutritional advice, etc, that today's players have would he become the goat? Maybe. I don't subscribe to the "have to have seen him" argument. We have enough information at our disposal, including the accounts of people who did see these players, to have an informed opinion of the players of the past. Hughie Ferguson scored almost 300 goals, and McFadyen scored 52 in a season, that alone is enough to tell me they should be right up there in the reckoning. The stats do give defenders and goalies a raw deal though.

Agreed, just happens to be my birthday - so double reason to remember the date. RIP Phil - taken far too soon.

Both appeals were unsuccessful, so both Pittman and Holt are out. Every little helps at this stage!

hope it stands we need all the help we can get

have you heard the turnbull rumour ? or was that just a throwaway statement ? come home david n score the goals to keep us up , get your name in lights again then get your big move to the english championship beside wee AL where you should have went

Everyone will have their own view on this based on age/when they started supporting the club. For me in my time it’s Tommy Coyne. A brilliant forward and an absolute class act of a player and we’ve never had anyone like that since.

Mine too. Always a bitter sweet day.

The best player of my generation (born 1985) as a Well fan was Faddy during his first spell in the early 2000s. He's my GOAT.

I watch it on an ESPN+ subscription. I think it's around $9.95/month now (was $7.95 when I originally signed up). You get about 7 or 8 Championship games in a week, plus a few League One and League Two, FA Cup and Carabao Cup games. Not to mention a lot of the International games. There's also Spanish, German, Dutch and Belgian football, and a whole range of other sports from Cricket and Golf to Tennis and Swimming. And if you miss a game, they are usually available on-demand for a week or so. The Scottish Championship Friday night games used to be streamed on there too, but they aren't available this season. There are still a few cup games from Scotland shown from time to time. Most Smart TVs have the ESPN app available, but you can also watch on your computer or phone. I sound like I'm an ESPN+ shill, but it's easily the best value subscription I have.
