'Memries' Good old men

[Rusty view]

Hutchison? He was mid twenties.

Really. Scrap that then. Thought he was towards and of his career

No, just played like he was.

And to think Warnock played that useless pin toed bastard Mark Rankine in his place against Wolves at Wembley.
He made some shit decisions but that has to be one of the worst.

Cardiff 2003 Play-off final, surely? If so, NW also dropped Dean Windass just beore the game.

i heard that was because of a golfing 'incident'.. can anyone verify??

 

[Blade for Sale]

Just seen Chris Lucketti sacked by Bury as manager and reminded me of this thread. Seem to remember he did a decent job for a few games in the top flight at the age of 36 or so.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Don Givens. He used to ghost in from the left and crack them in with his right foot.

He currently ranks as the joint fourth all time topscorer for the Irish national side

Many late crucial penalties in there?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Rioch was good in his time with us, as was Dennis Mortimer. Stewart Houston was steady enough in the 4th division season and I always thought Ken McNaught was decent enough.

 

[Whiston Blade]

David Unsworth, will always remember the goal he scored against Hull and fail forget the one he scored for Wigan...

 

[mancunianblade]

May be wide of the mark here but looking back at our legion of Dads army I think on the whole they have been more hit that miss?

People will always class players like Higginbotham as failures but from memory I thought he was solid enough. SUFC Dads army XI

Bennett

Higginbotham McGrath Marker Naismith

Speed McCall Cowans

Saunders Chief Shipperley

Help us out with a better RB than Higginbotham? some pace in that team thats for sure

 

[Camden Blade]

Peter Withe and Phil Thompson. Maybe not. We had a Dad's Army team under Porter field.

 

[Camden Blade]

Viv Busby

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

mcgrath, mccall, cowans & saunders. Absolute quality players. Well over £150m worth of talent in today's money.

 

[beatific blade]

What about Glen Little in the 2009/10 season?

I thought he was ancient but was decent for us!

 

[TomHeffernan]

Cowans was one of the finest midfielders I’ve ever seen at the Lane. Remember drawing Arsenal in the FA cup at Highbury in 96? What a great day. Cowans was the best player on the pitch. Nicked a 1-1 and won the reply if I remember rightly?

Plus I met Arthur Mullard in a string vest waiting for bus on Baker Street.

Always loved going to Highbury

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

Joe Bolton came to us towards the end of his career after long stints in the North-East with Sunderland and Middlesbrough and gave us good service. I remember seeing him score a cracking goal from outside the box for us one day at Leeds Road. A very reliable and popular character.

 

[blade.i.am]

Dean Hammond (RIP) of course he may not be dead, it was always hard to tell.

 

[Swannyblade]

Keeef Gillespie - very assured in the Premiership season

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Got to be the one and only Bob Booker in this list.
Jimmy Johnstone, voted Celtic's best ever player at the time by their fans.
And dare I say Vinnie???

bruce rioch was manager, the season before wenger took over. carl veart scored the winner? if my memory serves me correctly we had a 3 sided ground.

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Alan Wright I recall being good and Paul Parker. Andy Goram in his tights.
