just like to say that was having this conversation in the pub at the weekend and terry mcdermott was a bona fide f***ing genius. totally ahead of his time and vastly under-rated when great footballers are talked about.

Absolutely agree - what he did in terms of the runs he saw and made (plus his finishing ability) was unteachable. He just had a natural genius for it that I have never seen in any other player - he saw the end point of his run from 50-60 yards away, even though he was a limited player in other areas. Fortunately we also had players with similar visionary capacity to make use of it - Dalglish especially, but also Souness, Kennedy etc. Whenever he played for England, with mediocrity around him and a less fluid role, he looked like a journeyman midfielder.

 

Favourite goal in a stellar collection? Away at Aberdeen where he simply ran over a pass that looked like it was meant for him - not a dummy, just ignored the ball - allowing David Johnson to knock it first time into the space behind the defender as Terry carried on running, followed by an exquisite angled chip on the run. Truly a genius.
