Did he pay a price for it though because honestly i have no memory of billy not been in the air, i believe he was in the air the whole 90 mins of every game.
we really should be trying something different like short corners or sumfin...because we are just wasting time...Just gee uz one goal... So ah can try get excited about the next 120 corners..people go for a pee now or a pie when we get a corner now...a bet there's weans oot there never seen us score from a corner. Cmon Benkovic.. We,ll make a song up for you..

I mind my uncle was up from dan saff where he had lived for years. He was and still is a big fan of oor King Billy. I lived near his pub back then and took my uncle round for a pint.
I didn’t mention anything in case the bug man wasn’t behind the bar. We were standing talking at the bar when Billy came out front.
I said to my uncle, I’ve got a surprise for you. Look behind you.
He was like a wee boy as he looked at Billy. I motioned to Billy and told him my uncle loved him. They shook hands and from there on in I never got a fucking look in.
Apart from getting the pints in that Billy’s daughter poured.
It was a great night and he was aw chuffed.

Billy was great the expectation as he came up for a corner,look here comes Billy McNeill would come out from the crowd there was a sort of hush as we waited for the ? to come over GOAL it would go crazy around the stadium,no one who ever so him score will forget him,Another great memory is of big Yogi scoring 2 goals against the English league team Jack Charlton bragged Yogi would not get a goal and certainly not with his head good auld Yogi 2with the nut , back of the net

I asked for this very stat on a previous thread. Ok we have a marker for us at least. I mind the Viking chatting about his extra training (didn't convert many but looked ok), LG said he was doing the same for a while and scored a few a while back. What has happened since ?
No wide mf players that can cross and no big bully cf. We have had years of trying to build a new age footballing team without that basic option. Mabey not game winners but taking the heat off or creating space by having that presence can't be underestimated. The MON era was probably the last. Big V of H chipped in saying that

Brilliant thanks
Our corner kicks r a joke we float balls into the box nobody attacks the ball no planning ever seems to go into our corners tell u something else throwing just as bad no movement at all teams must live giving us corners as Frank said they could all stand on centre line and still wouldn't score
