AndyRoss Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Been quite keen to keep the list of players that the fans voted our 25 Greatest Post-War Players, but gave the game away with this one, so thought I'd share and hopefully boost support for the book. http://www.mfc1886.com/discovering-keith-macrae/ The book is released on Friday 10th November and can be ordered here - http://www.mfc1886.com/pro…/mfc-podcast-off-air-3-pre-order/ The book launch and 25 Greatest Post-War Players evening is also Friday 10th November at Fir Park, there's currently nine places at this event remaining - www.mfcpodcast.co.uk/shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Fair to say there’s been quite a lot happening lately… Now that we’ve all sobered up after one of the best afternoon’s in many years, the realisation that we are less than a week away from sending ‘Off-Air 3’ to print has just about sunk in. On Tuesday will be confirming the total number of copies with our publisher and while we intend to order slightly more copies than the number of pre-orders, we anticipate the majority of these will be sold at the awards and launch event – which is now completely sold-out. The only way to guarantee your copy of ‘Off-Air 3’ is by pre-ordering a copy before Tuesday at 5pm – any remaining editions of the book will go back on our website after the event. ‘Off-Air 3′ is an 100-page publication featuring a countdown of the top-25 post-war Motherwell players as voted for by over 600 fans. On 10th November, fans and players, past and present will be in attendance at Fir Park’s Davie Cooper Suite for the unveiling of Motherwell’s Greatest Post-War Player and to honour each of the players that have made the list. All funds raised from ‘Off-Air 3’ will go to the ‘Well Society and will be subject to the ‘Double Your Money’ initiative by Les Hutchison’.

joewarkfanclub Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 When do the postal copies get delivered Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'll get them Friday afternoon, aim to have all post copies away by Monday latest. You probably got an email to confirm your order was complete, that's basically because we were writing all the envelopes last night and didn't want to make any mistakes.

milo Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Massive thank you and well done to the guys fir putting together such a great event last night. The panels were both great in different ways and was hugely entertaining. I could listen to Craigan talk about Motherwell and football in general all night. He pulls no punches but is very balanced. Was great to hear the players remember the games in the same detail we do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StipeIsGod Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Agreed. All class acts but Craigan stood out. Terrific night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 What do people think of the 25 that were chosen? A fair selection of the best postwar players? I personally chose Randolph and think that perhaps McDonald was unlucky to miss out from the modern era. Perhaps more players from the 50s 60s and 70s deserved to be included but that wouldve required more fans of a certain age to have voted.

We've raised £1063 from the event and book which will be doubled by Les Hutchison - so hugely worthwhile!

CoF Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I started going to fir park in 97 so a few are before my time. I wonder if Randolph could have been in there. Easily best keeper I've seen at Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 There is always going to be a bias towards players weve seen in the flesh, but I dont think that list is too bad. Theres a couple in there that may be filed under favourite rather than greatest but I think a fair argument could be made to justify all 25. The launch night looked great, congratulations to everyone who were involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Johnny Gahgan raised my eyebrows a bit - good player but one of the best? Not sure I agree. Must have got a few votes for his great after dinner speaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop91 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Can't believe the likes of moult made the 25 while willie hunter(who has a stand named after him never) never made it. For all louis has been a great striker for the club, I wouldn't say he's a legend. Guess that's the youth vote. Everyone has there own opinion.

daver Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I know what you mean but John (not Willie) Hunter has the stand name after him for being our league winning manager (as well as outstanding service to the club). This list was for post-war players. Edited to add that I know Willie Hunter was one of the Ancell Babes but there are only a few of the older players in the list. It would have needed a lot of the older voters to include him in their list to get him into the 25 but I guess that more of them went for the best of that era and a number of more recent players.

ropy Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 It's interesting that Tom Boyd isn't there, if his post Motherwell career was different, I think he would have come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have got a few votes for his great after dinner speaking Aye, I was thinking the same about Gahagan. He wasn't even the best player in the team at time, never mind best post war.
