First 10 yards are in the head
Here's one that should divide opinion..........
I've been inspired to start this one by the threads about Scougs and Coutts.
I actually used to like Gannon and could never understand the dogs abuse he got from our fans.
I worked a lot of Saturdays back then so probably got to about a dozen games a season but he always looked decent to me, probably one of the better ball players we had and if I'm not mistaken, got quite a number of assists, especially as he was a regular corner taker. Even when I've watched some of the old footage of our goals back then, he seems to play quite a number of the final balls.
I can only imagine it was his lack of aggression that got him stick. He wasn't a ball winner or a great tackler but when you're playing next to Vinnie Jones and the rest of our 'enforcers' at the time, you don't need to be, do you?
Unless it was the dodgy perm?
