What a hit. What a player. Underrated technician.

Are you on drugs couldn’t trap a bag of cement

 

[coolhandluke]

I might get chastised for being a bit of a Bladey Blade, forelock tugging, cap doffer by Pinchy but I actually preferred Mitch Ward down the right.

More bladey blade nonsense here too ..... Carl Bradshaw . He NEVER took a backward step .

 

[Davalon]

[Snowman]

Derek Geary, give everything for the cause every single time.

Ok Bashar Al Asaba, I'll nibble.Who's da wabbit and why?

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Wasn't that Jeff Johnson?

Definitely Jeff King as I remember it .

He gave the distinct impression of wanting to break Sabella's leg and very nearly succeeded with one 'tackle' in front of the North Stand which I remember to this day.

Piggy thug.

I did think it was Johnson who went straight through him very early on.

I did think it was Johnson who went straight through him very early on.

That may be the case, but King was the one who clattered him at every available opportunity no doubt as part of their 'tactics'.

Doug Hodgson was the bravest Blade I had seen.

So King never went near him, then ?

According to Steve Thompson Roger Neilson was a very hard guy who'd been in the army and Fjørtoft was the exact opposite.

[sitwell]

Tony kenworthy ,never shirked a challenge ,played while injured ,paid for his own treatment ,was hard as nails. Also never shirked responsibility and would have scored the penalty which sent us to the bottom league for the only time ever , if our bottleless manager hadnt been such a bell end. Great captain ,great player and my favourite 'battler'.
