Played for us 10 times, from what I remember (which isn't much) he was fairly pish. Not sure how he ever made it into the Dutch squad let alone a world Cup final!

I'm aware of that cap, I'm saying I don't remember him being good enough to be in any Dutch squad, never mind a world Cup final.

Compper the legend
His claim to fame, is scoring against Morton at Cappielow
That's his World Cup Final, right there
And getting his hands on the League trophy, not forgetting the look on Ryan Christe's face that day ;-)

I stand corrected Michael
Big marvin was a legend in his own mind
How any 'professional' player can sit and watch and collect a paycheque and be happy about it, is what's wrong in today's game
Ryan Christie, is a Celtic man, Marvin Compper, never was
