    Such a rare talent. Andy Ritchie also springs to mind (someone also with superhuman skills who could score extraordinary goals, but just couldn't be moulded into an athletic specimen to get to the next level). Scottish football is lucky to have had both.

    Ah Paddy, you didn't score many but the ones you did score I'll remember forever. You were the ultimate comic book hero, the man they couldn't get the ball off. If only your fitness and stamina matched your skill, you would have been a legend. Feck it, you are to this greybeard. 💚🇮🇪

  • @samsativa245

    Rochdale fan here - He's actually a bit of a folklore legend at our club and anyone who saw him play for us knew how good he was. Would hardly say it 'didn't work out' here. Just had issues with injuries and drink..

    • @samsativa245
      @samsativa245 17 дней назад

      Made 80 apps and scored 8 goals in the EFL alone for us, pretty sure we were the club he played most for in total unless Celtic was... Either way I find it a bit strange how you just summed his career at Rochdale up in 1 single, lazy sentence tbh

    One of our own, lucky enough to see him play numerous times in the LOI and with Celtic...a friend played with Paddy and said he was the only fella that moved faster when he had the ball 😄 .... met him once or twice when he was with Derry he even made me a coffee once ... the streets don't forget ...an absolute baller 👏

    I will never forget the first time I saw him. Friday, November 10th, 2006 Derry away at St. Pats. He was a sub and he came on the pitch at half time and he was pinging balls around like I have never seen before. I asked a Derry fan about him and he gave me the skinny.....a great talent
    LOL also, great video. No one was as surprised as Celtic Manager 😃

    went to watch Derry v Gretna at Fir Park in Motherwell just for the banter - spotted him as a real player then! I remember talking to some Derry City fans in Glasgow after the game about him.
    Shame he couldn't reach a more consistent level. James McFadden was another one a bit like Paddy - loads of natural talent, but for some reason never quite made it.
