wasn't born during that time. only know him because i read a book about him that i bought here in a second hand bookstore in the philippines. i got intrigued, glad there was a video like this in youtube. man, he was reall skilled. too bad he, retired at his prime.
Absolutely beautiful control and skill. Terrific vision, one of the greats.
Didn't know this guy, I'm going to do a deep research of him, he impressed me
Glad you were impressed!
Played for Rangers, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest if I remember correctly. Unfortunately liked a drink and had two liver transplants before dying aged 61.
A legend in Scotland. Walked away from football in his prime. Pele rated him.

Bit of a one off really. Best rated him and so did Eusebio. Shone brightly and all to briefly. There’s a great book on him called Slim Jim. Sadly he blew it and knew he had. Great quote “ Jim if you don’t stop drinking and smoking you’ll be dead in a year! “ ok Doc, I’ll give it a year and see how I feel”
Any chance of doing a video on Davie cooper , he was a Scottish winger who played with Glasgow rangers and was regarded as one of the best wingers Scotland has produced. Ruud Gullit said he was one of the best players he ever played against!
there are several video of Davie on here, Good duy used to visit the lads in Shotts prison and loved a small bet. Often seen in Corals main street Hamilton and always nice to chat with....so sad he went so soon RIP
MultiArkle that’s great my dad met him a few times and said he was a gentleman just wish I was around then to see the likes of cooper, mccoist, Gazza and laudrup. Being born in 2001 I’ve grown up with the likes of Ian black and Kevin Kyle to watch 😂😂 CZcams is my only chance to see glimpses of rangers legends, also yeah he was taken far to young it’s such a shame RIP 💙
@Talorc MacAllan Plenty better than him😂 gies peace sheep
@Talorc MacAllan 😂😂 a fan of hammer throwers FC talking about football away and pump a sheep
Wonderful. Perfect touch and balance with a range of passing to match the best, highly rated by Sir Alex who played with him at Rangers.
Baxter played for Forest late on ,by then his legs had gone and the booze had started to take it's toll but he could still control it , pass it and scored a few good goals one I saw he pulled a hard cross out the air outside the penalty box with his right sent 2 defenders the wrong way with a hip sway and fired the ball into the top corner with his left ,done with such elegance . 1967 at wembley, Sublime!!!!.
Just playing for the enjoyment of football...
Away before his time absolutely world class had the privilege of watching him play 👌
Never heard of him, shame on me. Such a great elegant player, thank you for the video!
You're welcome!
Some very rare footage there - Slim Jim actually kicked the ball with his right foot a couple or so times !!! 😊
One of the best players of his generation. Absolutely class.
No conocía a este jugador, el fútbol de los sesenta como que viene muy antiguo, pero gracias Barbosa de todos modos por subirlo.
Barbosa good compilation. Baxter played for the World XI twice.
He also played in Di Stefano world team and others.
More research will unearth this star of yesteryear.
Amazing. Skilful, graceful, intelligent.
Never heard of him before tbh thank you Barbosa for ur great effort..
Pls make a video of Jair da Costa Inter Milan legend
You're welcome! Jair da Costa in the future. Anyway take a look at the playlist of classic footballers of 50s and 60s czcams.com/play/PLUGfvzi_cGZpqzEZ9tyZdbcMb9_EludfT.html
Slim Jim, the Blue Brazilian 💙
Poetry in motion: Slim Jim Baxter
I remember him when he played for Raith Rovers,and I beleive that he played in Canada,although can't see anything on that.
Thanks for the upload!
The ultimate compliment
Pele to Baxter
You are Brazilian.
I once asked my dad who was the better player between Willie Henderson and Jinky Johnstone, his answer was quite short, Jim Baxter was.
Your dad was bullshitting you
Ottimo video su jim Slim
Sunderland legend him and Charlie could never see eye to eye
Great video 🔴⚪️🔵👍
Great video again of someone I never heard of, interesting player.
Can you make one of Demetrio Albertini ?
Legend
Can I ask last 3 goals in the video are at which matches?
Very interesting style, almost sliding past defenders and this habit of playing the ball long out in front of him and then running on and doing the same.
You omitted Scotland's goal against Italy for one
Scottish Iniesta
Better
@@ALBA-js3um Way better
He wasnt as good as iniesta. He ruined his career by drinking and other problems. He was a genuine world class player in the early/mid 60s who could have achieved so much more.
Ultimate footballer
The best
Billy McNeill said that when Jim Baxter left for Sunderland in 1965 , Rangers suffered and Celtic benefitted as a result .
This vídeos are great!
Do more of players from 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s
You have to do of Dennis Law. Always hear about but dont know to much.
Also Graeme Souness, real bad temper but amazing player. He was mean but know how to play.
And Ally Mccoist, striker from Glasgow Rangers
Thanks! Denis Law? Already done! czcams.com/video/UYcKfdVVHDA/video.html
The Lawman was amazing!
I just uploaded a video of him being talked about for an All Time British XI by Alan Ball, Alan Mullery & Frank McLintock.
Couldnae shine Jinkys shoes
When footballers didn't fall down when someone looked at them ad were paid a 'normal' salary. When referees didn't need electronics.
Found dead in the whisky bottle 🍼
If Scotland and England were 1 country we would have won 5 world cups. Shame
Thank god we aren’t though
'If you’ve got three Scots in your side, you’ve got a chance of winning something. If you’ve got any more, you’re in trouble.' - Bill Shankly
Position left back out moldifier
He was left centre mid
For British players of his generation (from the second world war to around 30 years after), all you usually have to do to know their position is check their shirt number. The goalkeeper was Number 1. From right to left, the full-backs (defenders in modern parlance) were 2 and 3; half-backs (deep midfield) 4, 5 and 6; and forwards (attackers, including the more advanced midfield players) 7 to 11.
