Whats the best individual performance

[Hoopy427]

We would have beat them if they never had Deco

I hated that man for quite some time after that game

Great wee player but a diver ,must admit that Porto team were somethin else ,European champs the year after and they had Jose in his prime.

Davie Hay against Atletico Madrid bastaarts,"the silent assassin

Lubo against Juventus was something special.

We would have beat them if they did'nae hit the decko every 10 seconds

A lot of people still rave about jinkys performance v real Madrid in di Stefano testimonial. Obviously a friendly match but the wee man had virtually the whole stadium giving it big oles every time he skinned one of their players ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

So hard to call this question, seen so many over the years.

Lubo against Juventus was something special.

Aye, that’s one I was gonna put forward. If I mind right, he wasn’t playing so much and he’d asked to be played. Seemed like a last go at showing what he could do. Megging for fun

Sutty was outstanding that night too, but Lubo was on another level.

This nonsense that Juventus played a weakened team, but it was still full of internationals including World Cup and Euro winners.

Lubo shone that night and it was a masterclass in touch and arrogance.

My favourite memory of Sutton was his header v Ajax for what I think was us qualifying for the CL for the first time??

That wasn't a header, cheezy.......that was an exocet missile.

Speaking of individual performances, Bobby Petta was "on it" that night too.

He was another frustrating player, but when he was in the mood, he could do some damage

Jinky, second half against Red Star Belgrade!

Another game I was at in my teens
Jinky was unbelievable that night
he story goes that he didn't like flying and big Jock told him if they won the game comfortably, he didn't need to go to Yugoslavia, for the second leg
Apparently, when the Red Star coach found out, Jimmy was not going to be there, he said to Jock, "The people of Belgrade, deserve to see the genius of Jimmy Johnstone !"
Here's a clip and Jinky, telling the story

ON this day in 1968 Jock Stein manufactured a 5-1 win against Red Star Belgrade by playing on his superstar's fear of flying. Here's what happened in the European Cup encounter and then Hist

I thought there was some footage of Jinky against Red Star on You're A Tube, was gonna put it up but cant find it.
Davie Marshall against Barca, that was a freaky performance!
But best I've seen was probably Henrik in Seville.

Found this on Twitter
Jinky was unplayable that night

Henke in Seville. Porto were a better team than us - though they could have been more gracious in victory by not cheating every 10 seconds - but Larsson was the best player on the park.

Aside from all the usual answers, heres two

Dziekanowski v Partizan Belgrade - to score 4 goals in a european tie ...and be knocked out was criminal but what an effort
David Marshall, Nou Camp V Barcelona...Year after Seville....Best goalkeeping performance ive ever seen. Still have the paper with the Marshallona headline

Met him at a UFC fight a couple of years ago (and found out after that KT was round the other side). Got a photo with him & could not think of 1 memory to talk to him about

Yeah Marshall was a good one. Did he no chip a player passing to a defender? I’m sure rab Douglas had a good game as well, possibly Valencia, where he saved a hunner shots
