Joe Jordan is one of football's hard men, but who would former Manchester United, Leeds, AC Milan and Scottish international forward pick to be in his #One2Eleven dream team?
RIGHT WING - JIMMY JOHNSTONE (Scotland) He's a man I looked up to before I started my professional career. He's my star man and had qualities that as a kid I'd never seen before. He did things that made you ask 'how did he do that?'. Jimmy was a character, a funny guys and I ended up playing with him for Scotland against England. FORWARD - Kenny Dalglish (Scotland) People don't realise how brave a guy he was; he was a player who received the ball with his back to the goal and the defenders right there but he never ever shrank at looking or receiving the ball. He scored great goals and quite a number of goals but it was his team work, he wanted to be the best, he was winner. FORWARD - Denis Law (Manchester United) He had an instinct for scoring goals, he was a magic player. In the air he was like a salmon. I look at those Manchester United teams that won European Cups and ruled England for 20 years under Sir Alex and in my opinion, Denis would have got in any of those teams and to bring it to the public of today, that shows just how good he was. The myth is that the game has changed and that the players of yesterday couldn't perform today but for me that's total rubbish.
