Decent Blades players you'd completely forgotten about

[Nade]

Owen Morrison looks absolutly brilliant on the Triple Assault DVD. He just seemed to vanish though.

He went on a good run against Brighton. That's all i remember.

 

[Lmaobob]

Was he decent? Any Chengdu watchers?

decent at being wank

 

[Pinchy]

Still none the wiser why we sold him

Pre-emptive Desso strike.

Mark Patterson really rated him.

Really rated who?

 

[Jan Age]

Vonk

Hao Haidong. End of thread

Always on the bench. Warnock was strangely reluctant to let his Dong loose.

 

[Harry's Game]

Probably something to do with Dong being about 52 at that point.

 

[General Jase]

If I remember rightly it coincided with Bruce moving to Huddersfield as manager. Both were moving on to big and better things was pretty much the quote

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Sam Vokes.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Tom Cowan

 

[Gin&Juice]

Bjorn Riise (did alright)
Paul Furlong?

 

[Wright1889]

Jon Harley was alright when he was on loan, remember him scoring a screamer against us for West Ham before we got him.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Sam Vokes.

Was he in the relegation season? I recall he wasn't actually that good for us. Very impressed by how his career's gone.

 

[Houston_Blade]

2 who are more "should have been shit but were actually good" are antipodeans Shaun Murphy & Carl Veart. Murphy couldn't run properly and Veart was the slowest winger we've ever had but both were (in my mind at least) excellent for us.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Yeah it was the relegation season.

You could tell he was a good player even back then. Just a shame he was surrounded by shite.

He had a really good game when we beat Forest 2-1 in March 2011. He was deployed as a battering ram in the second half and it was very effective.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Nicky Marker

 

[Silent Blade]

Martin Kuhl

 

[dazzlingblade]

Paul Wood, Paul Beesley

Andy Reid - Could play the game walking

He'll be a shoe-in for walking football in a few years, then.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Olivier Tebilly. We bought him for 4p - he was brilliant for us for 6 games, then we flogged him to Celtic for £1.5m, where he gave away a penalty (or scored an own goal?) on his debut. He was average for them for a few seasons, before moving to Birmingham, where again he scored an own goal or sommat on his debut. Lost track of him after that - - but he was unusual in that he was good for us and dire for everyone else - as opposed to the usual other way around.

I've just looked him up on Wiki. Apparently he's since retired to France become the first black african to own his own vinyard and produce cognac. Well done that man!

There can’t be many Blades players who’ve scored a winning goal v Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Peter Katchouro - or Pyotra Kachura if you prefer. He did it didn't he?

 

[pommpey]

Pre-emptive Desso strike.

Oooh. So are ITK about that, then?

*sits nicely*

Do tell.







Thought not.

[GreasyChipBeattie]

That nippy little winger we had. David, Brian or John something I think.
Actually, I don't think he was that quick, but was really strong, and might have been a midfielder.
Big lad he was, just what you need for an old fashioned centre forward, or is that the keeper I'm thinking about?

 

[Davalon]

Nicky Marker

Top player.

I put him in the Sandford mould. Looked a bit awkward at times and never seemed the most athletic, but a real solid player.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

I like players with plenty of meat on em, Joe Bolton, Neil Shipperly.

 

[PL_1889]

Paul Furlong?

Great shout. I just remember his penalty scoring prowess

 

[torridon]

Martin Smith.

Always remember a screamer he scored at Tangmere.

 

[Harry's Game]

Always remember a screamer he scored at Tangmere.

He was the one bright spark in the desperate Adrian Heath side.
