He's something of a legendary footballer, one of the best defensive midfielders in the world for a number of years but because he's so lowkey, people forget. It's crazy to think he was on only £500 a week before moving to Dortmund.

I remember when he signed for Dortmund. Most people were amazed, because he was at Motherwell at the time. He was definitely the man of the match in the final.

Gers fan here: Lambert was a quality player, and his success abroad made him excellent. Quite a few of the best Scots of this period went abroad and came back much better: thinking of John Collins, Mo Johnston, etc. It should have been a wake-up call for our game.

Shame his time at Dortmund was so short but he’s a club legend especially for Scottish fans

Wow this takes me back. A couple of years before he joined st mirren, there was a fire in his family home in linwood and he was moved in next door to me in cairn drive. He used to come out and pass the ball about with all us youngsters in the front garden. When he moved out i forgot about him until i was collecting panini football stickers and got his one for the st mirren team. I followed his whole career, even at celtic considering i’m a rangers supporter. 😂

_Important detail omitted:_ St Mirren went out the Cup Winner's Cup to KV Mechelen *who went on to win the competition.*

Bro, this is quickly becoming my favourite retro footy channel. Phenomenal work!

Lambert was a very good midfielder.

What a video, great to see such comprehensive match clips with it together too!

This is an excellent documentary. I'm really impressed. New subscriber 👍🏽

What an awesome video. My all Time Favourite player. Always Very composed, great skills If only he had played against England on those two euro 2000 play-off games… hurts to see that sliding tackle on Jorg Albertz

great video, im from denmark. And I thoroughly enjoy learning about scottish footy

Thanks. Really enjoyed that video. You should make a video about Lubomir Moravcik. Talk about underrated!

Another brilliant video. Can't wait for the next one!

Great video, never knew much about him, but i remember seeing Lambert when i was younger so it was great to see how he got to be the player he was

One of the most painful nights in my life (sportswise). We were such a good team that year, but sometimes it's just not ment to happen. Nice video, I totally forgot about Lambert

Thank you so much for this. I learned so much mate!

Excellent video, keep up the great work!

One of the best Scottish dm's ever and had a great ping on him, loved him at Celtic, proper world class baller for a few years

Love your channel, greetings from Germany ❤

Stunning piece of work !

First scotsman to win the champions league.

People forget just how good Paul Lambert was. The guy was one of best CDMs in the world in the late 90s. Pocketing Zizou is not easy. And Zidane is the best player ive ever seen.

That was a great wee film. I mind watching that Champions League final in a bar in Derby of all places. Can’t believe it was that long ago 😮 I also remember that Motherwell team he played in who were absolutely cracking.

Roy Keane doing a great Mark Hughes impression.

Jorg Albertz pocketed this guys molars.

Legend! 😊

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. I am originally from Elderslie next to Paisley in Renfrewshire. When Paul Lambert was with Saint Mirren, my uncle Tommy was Paul Lambert's driving instructor. I remember The Champions League Final of the 96/97 season both Borussia Dortmund & Juventus had some teams back them. I think all of Scotland was, despite to see Paul Lambert lift that Champions League trophy that night. Hand on heart I can say this I expected Juventus to be Champions they looked on paper like they had more quality but in the end Borussia Dortmund did it. And I think all of Scotland cheered that nigh as we seen one of our own lift that European Cup it will live long in my memory personally. Paul Lambert was some player myb not a flash Harry but he always did what he was asked to do well apart from when Dick Advocaat wanted him to be his right back at P.S.V then during that trial his agent turns up & tells him Borussia Dortmund want to sign him with his agent Paul races to Dortmund the rest is history.

Congrats on the sponsorship man!

Legend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's been a long time I last heard the names Rene Tretschok and Martin Kree. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Oops In the ‘Rangers won by 15pys’ the image of the previous season was replayed

Fantastic player for Dortmund and Celtic. Never got the recognition he deserved till that UCL victory. Great player 👏🍀

Outrageously underrated back home.

One of the best 👌

Yessss excellent subject lambo was some player

Fair play to Stefan Klos 👏 just wish he'd never gone to rangers 😂

He would be 100m+ in todays market. After 175 games for Celtic you could count the number of times he lost possession with one hand.

Pirlo vs Park Ji-Sung? Never heard of them!

I don't know about 'pocketing' Zidane, but as a milanista.....RICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was one hell of a funny night....RIEDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video

Fucking love your vids mate. You should do when celtic signed the wrong "bangura" or how ronny deilas points recors is on par with rodgers.

I know you love ZZ but to suggest he was best ever causes blood to pour out my eyes 😆. I was lucky enough to be at Hampden when he won the CL with Real Madrid. No doubt he was top drawer but 80% of the Brazilian 82 squad were just as as good as him.

Loved Lambert 👌🏻

One of Dortmund's best

Zidane bodies Paul and all of us Scott's last on the international scene in 2002 with that screamer to end the tie... between zi zu and Lambert 😮😢

A brilliant Celtic captain! Lambo!!

World class player and great captain.

Another great video about this unsung no nonsense Brit.

Refs used to say he knew how to bend rules and be up to all sorts to do his job but always just short of bookable as as well as exceptional talents.

Imagine the career he could have had in Europe if he hadn't had to leave Dortmund for family reasons.

I remember thinking at the time why wasn't this guy in the Scotland teams for euro96 and france98... bizarre

Best segue ever 😂😂😂😂

8:11 think you've used the wrong table 😅

Good video

Those leagues tables still showikg the old 2 points for a win jsut proves that the introduction of 3 points for a win has not helped Scottish football. Lambert was quality, shame he was a Celtic man.

Actually, let's have a video on John Collins. Grand player, controversial manager 👍

2003 pal lost uefa cup, Lambert great player get a place in most teams now

The scottish James Milner

Ha! That shot at 32 seconds is the Swan in Pollokshaws.... Nowhere near Parkhead. 😅

Great video as always, say what you want about Lambert as a manager! (I know I do as a Villa fan) But he was some player! BTW, would you do a video on the Disgrace of Gijon, I'm fascinated by it and would love to see you cover it!

He was a Rangers fan

There is no chance how this video has came up and watching it they showed my house in Linwood wtf 🤣🤣🤣

Can't imagine people will make videos on how Pablo Maffeo pocketed Messi in that one game when Barca was playing Girona away probably in 2017 and Maffeo stayed by Messi's side the entire game even when the ball was on the other side of the pitch 😂

He doesn't like to talk about it though 😂

Want to see a video about John Barnes Celtic next

You've got the Scottish cup and the League cup muddled up, I'm afraid.

Life long celtic fan that's not what iv heard

John Barnes apparently can't get managerial roles due to racism...No John, you were given a pretty big job in a league with one other competitor ....and we got the super Cali go ballistic headline.

was a mixture of tommy burns& paul mcstay,, twist turns like tb vision of mcstay,, mind albertz slibing into him knee into his mouth lost his front teeth didnt even stop the game let alone a foul,, HUGH DALLAS (was sfa@s finest ref at the time appearntly) was a differant captain than lennon & broony like calum mcgregor i supose,, stoped there 10 fucking legend of a player,, decent manager but wrong clubs wrong time apart wy;come and colchester he done very very well

Great video, absolutely butchered the pronunciation of 'die Schwarzgelben' though 🤣

You dont play for Dortmund for years if your shyttt.

Glasgow didn't look like that when Paul Lambert grew up for fuck sake.And he was from Linwood.Not Glasgow.

Lambert & Zinfandel my arse. Lambert & Butler more like.

0:43 track ID lol, I'm serious, it's annoying me, I should know it

The worst Ipswich Town manager of all time. Every week in at least one interview he would somehow find a way to mention he had played for Dortmund.

Wasn't he the first free-transfer after Bosman?

Shit Manager at Villa.

He wasn’t that great a player ! Filled a gap in a good Dortmund team for a year or so. Afterwards dropped back down to his own level. Great achievement in getting there & winning the CL obviously but for me if he was top drawer he would’ve been playing at that level for the rest of his career. Proves you can slot someone into a team to do a job & they don’t have to be a superstar.

Zidane is a world cup winner. a top tier player a world class player one of the best ever ..with your nonsense

Some really horrible pronunciations in there fella.

I remember watching him at Tynecastle when he played for Motherwell….CLASS ACT!

Sold his soul to the devil . Big Albertz never took any nonsense from any tim.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

He was boring

Jeezo. ‘87 yet another sickener for Dundee United. They beat Barca home and away in the UEFA - although the English pundits say Chelsea were first British team to do so. Like the FA museum ignoring the Andrew Watson as the first black player and Captain. Good video.

Bang average player
