Chris Porter

[corner_flag]

Reight Baller just signed for Oldham , only 38.

Good move for both of them I reckon. Its his spiritual home club, and at National League level he should do well enough and at 38, they are probably getting an L1 player at a bargain price

 

[coaxingstar71]

Not as if he ever relied on pace, so he's probably not much different now to when he was with us.

 

[Stevo]

I reckon he could still do a job for us

 

[Davalon]

Good move.

Regular game time could force him into the reckoning for Qatar.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Limited trier. But compared to Mcburnie, Porter looks like Ibrahimovic.....

 

[Grappler]

Whenever I have seen him playing, on "Quest" (the show that Colin Murray hosted), he always seemed to be enjoying himself and scoring goals. If he can get another couple of years of football, at a well known (if not overly successful) football club, then GLTTL.

If Porter scores we're on the pitch .... oh the memories

Hes off to Qatar, hes off to Qatarrrr.

That boy Chris Porter, he's off to Qatar

 

[Teofilo Cubillas]

Hes off to Qatar, hes off to Qatarrrr.

That boy Chris Porter, he's off to Qatar

You mean Barça don't you!



Messi: "Is that Chris Porter?"
Iniesta: "It is... and he's a good player is that Porter, scores goals!"
Goalie: "I've always dreamt of saving a Chris Porter penalty"
Mascherano: "I saw him play for the Blades."

 

[northsomersetblade]

When the ball hits your head and your sat in row z, it’s Chris Porter

 

[bertieblade]

If Porter scores we're on the pitch .... oh the memories

On that basis he should be signing for forest

Chris Porter the best player Barcelona never signed.

Compared to McBurnie, Brian Potter looks like Ibrahimovic.

Unfinished business. Club legend. Can’t believe we’ve missed out. Useless from Bettis.

Villa away, in the cup, 2014, we won 2-1 (and took around 6,000 fans, great day out), Ryan Flynn and Jamie Murphy scored.

Nearly all game, we were singing....

"Benteke is wank, Benteke is waaaaannnk, we've got Chris Porter, Benteke is wank" (sometimes the word, "wank", was changed to "shit", just for our own amusement).

And the classic song, "if Porter scores, we're on the pitch", with the word "pitch", occasionally changed to "piss", just to cheer up the Villa fans, who generously gave their team a rousing chorus of boos, at full time.

We were hovering around the League 1 drop zone at the time (from memory, someone can correct me on that), but the atmosphere on the coach, going down, and especially coming back, was fantastic.

Lovely stuff.

(p.s. Porter didn't score, so we didn't go on the pitch)

One of my most favourite away days, ever.

Flynn’s goal was a thing of beauty too. Much better, and more demanding, than it looks on YouTube.

I always forgave him for anything, after that. The falling sideways onto his arse, the neshed tackles, the sliding down blind alleys then giving the ball away. All forgotten for that winner at Villa Park.

And for the record, on that day Benteke was indeed particularly wank.

Had a brummie mate in the villa end for that game kept messaging me throughout about our small winger and how good he was wouldn’t believe me when I said Flynn was playing out of his skin and it was in no way representative of him as a player.

Also very much enjoyed the blade who spent 90 minutes reminding the linesman he was bald.

Happy Chris Porter Day!

You know that Godwin's Law where any internet discussion will, as it grows longer, compare someone to Hitler with a probability of 100%? Seems that here, regardless of subject, the same thing applies except replace Hitler comparisons with mindless slagging off of McBurnie

 

[coolasanidiot]

Whilst singin 'If Porter scores we're on the pitch' Chris smashed the ball in at Walsall - with one of the best strikes you'll ever see.

Of the pair Porter or MCB - it's Chris for me!!

 

[El Volví]

And he still has a better scoring record for the Blades than McBurnie!

 

[Mouth of the South]

Considering it was L1 level, I'm struggling to think of any striker that carried less of a goalscoring threat than Porter (unless Utd were awarded a penalty!).

 

[Fatlad666]

Chris Porter did one thing week in week out for us which we all crave for and that was he gave us 110%. Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat., but he tried

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Took a decent pen. Ran around quite a lot. Gave great interviews about his unshakeable self-belief. Inspired an enduring chant, recently repurposed for another Blades GOAT. What more does any real fan honestly want?

Could 100% still do a job at this level. Imagine him played in front of Berge and Ndiaye

 

[SB_90]

it was amazing i dont know if anyone has ever had such a transformation in popularity scoring 1 goal. because had he not scored that goal to take us to play off final. he would likely been released as everyone i know thought he was useless. scores that goal v stevenage & then was a monster in 2014 fa cup. ended up becoming 1 of the most unlikely cult heroes.

 

[103SecondsOfMagic]

He also gave us 103 Seconds of Magic ⚔

Ruined Notts Red's day as well.
