The value of a 'big' signing!!

Agreed.

 

Jim Bett was labelled a lazy bastard as well but by fuck could he pick a pass.

 

So that was two lazy bastards in the one team! We must have been shit in those days... oh wait..

I thought Nicholas was an excellent player. Loads of vision and linked up brilliantly. I don't think he influenced every game he played in mind but he certainly had a touch of class.

 

He was a good player in his day. I just think he had already had it by the time he came to us.

 

I was busy getting into music, girls and booze at the time, but I do remember being thoroughly frustrated by his performances in a Dons jersey. I'm sure he had the odd good game/parts of games, but I really felt that he was just strolling about much of the time 'being Charlie Nicholas'. How he ended up back at Celtic is beyond me.

 

He did score 30 goals in 78 appearances for us which isn't too shabby compared to our current lot of strikers right enough...
