Talk:Archie Gemmill

Untitled

Anyone want to clean up the international carreer? It reads like it was written by an illiterate chimp. 81.158.225.26

OK, I added the clean up bit based on the previous (pre- the 'removing rant') edit of Omicronpersei8 - my reason for requesting the dit was that it was a bit unsightly having all the references in the middle of the text; I felt these need to be in the proper format (and as I don't have the skills to do this I thought I'd flag it for someone more able!)

Re. the previous bit - I quite enjoyed the rant - it certainly gave context to Gemmill's career, so I am all for having that back. Ianguy 09:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

To copy from my user talk page: I agree that there is some useful content here, and the "rant" label was just a quick and short-sighted explanation for my edit (which probably stemmed from what I thought was a loaded statement, "... famous for scoring one famous goal ... In fact the goal is so famous that it completely overshadows that which within others would be celebrated"). I still feel it looks more like a commentary or sports article than what is expected of an enyclopedia. If the editor comes back and fixes it, I'll be happy to go along with it. -- Omicronpersei8 09:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I think this article is great. It shows the symbolic power upon Scottish cultural life that Archie Gemmill was.

Extraordinary indeed, a match vs Leeds Utd

I would go so far to put Gemmill's goal vs Holland as one of the top 10 World Cup goals ever. Possibly as a shared number two even. Maradonnas 2-0 on England in -86 simply can't be beaten. But thereafter could Archie Gemmill well share the second position together with Maradonna's goal on Belgium I think. And I'm neutral to both Scotland and Argentina. To still angry Englishmen, who just not wish to think about the second goal due to the circumstances regarding the first goal - I would say that things usually evens out in a long perspective. And I think England third goal on W.Germany in -66 was fair and square. The game of football would not be, without the referee. And I'm glad England have won the World Cup at least once.
This article could benefit of more details on Gemmills time in Derby. I'm specifically thinking of a very heavy encounter with Leeds sometime in that period when the English League was more or less dominated by Derby, Leeds and Liverpool. There was a real street-fight between several players. I'm not certain how much Gemmill was involved, but it was a good game with very hot feeling at a muddy pitch. I think Leeds' Billy Bremner may have been involved too.
I also think something on the Gemmill and "Derby County Glory Days" should be improved. Gemmill together with players as Kevin Hector, Colin Todd and Charlie George and others. I think this article is far to short, given Gemmills name within football. Boeing720 (talk) 22:03, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
