Derek Lilley

Ex-Morton, Leeds Utd, Dundee Utd & Livingston

NIGEL MARTYN

HE wasn’t just the best keeper I ever played with – he was the best keeper I ever saw with my own eyes. He was outstanding for Leeds during my time there.

DAVID McNAMEE

DAVID arrived at Livingston from Blackburn Rovers at the same time as Burton O’Brien and he was brilliant. He deservedly won a few Scotland caps before he snapped his Achilles.

JOHN ANDERSON

BIG John is a good friend of mine – his dad was actually the scout that picked me up! We played together at Morton but he went on to Hull City and Bristol Rovers.

MARVIN ANDREWS

WHAT can I say about Marvin? He was such a nice guy, he actually felt guilty if he kicked you – he’d apologise!

DAVID ROBERTSON

THE ex-Ranger was the worst trainer in the world. While everyone else was running around the pitch, he’d be jogging around the centre circle! Fortunately, he was a machine on the pitch.

CHARLIE MILLER

ONE of the most-talented players I’ve ever seen – and I think most guys who played with Charlie would say the same.

DEREK McINNES

A TOP pro from the very start. Even when I joined Morton at 17, Derek was 20, and I could see nothing was going to get in the way of him being a success.

LEE BOWYER

LEE had his issues, which were well documented, but there was so much talent there. His career speaks for itself.

ALAN MAHOOD

THE fact he went down to Nottingham Forest as a teenager shows how talented he was.

DAVID FERNANDEZ

AN absolute head-case, but in a good way! It’s no surprise I had my best season playing alongside him when he came back to Livingston on loan from Celtic.

DEREK LILLEY

I WASN’T the most-naturally gifted, but I always tried to make up for that with effort – and everywhere I went I think the fans could see that. SEAN HAMILTON
