He wasn't far behind Davies IIRC But Gardner played 3 seasons as a fairly regular player in the Championship, whereas Nolan only played one, plus a few games the previous season.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted September 30, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2019 That season when they narrowed the pitch. He couldn't weigh up what he was playing to, I thought is head was going to fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was Campo! Who was then displaced by Hierro. Kinell, well past his best of course, but what a player. He could trap a bloody wrecking ball.

Krimzon Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ricardo Gardner was a gorgeous player . I was at west brom when he scored the last minute winner and at Swansea when he scored his last goal for us . He had 3 (THREE) acl injuries ....the same ones that gascoigne and shearer had and came back in half the time . A report in the times called him the best left back in the prem. and when we went to a back 5 with him and mendy as wing backs we played our best football . Allardyce says him and Okocha had an almost telepathic link . He had a choice to make at 16 , sprinting or football, he chose football. I met him when he was 19 and as shy and reserved as they come , humble and grateful for his opportunity . He never gave less than 100% scored some unbelievable goals and was a huge part of our best ever spell. If some no mark tusk wants to call him an average player thats fine , it just highlights that he/she knows as much about football as he does about Guatamalan tiddlywinks . And yes I would have Gardners babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted October 2, 2019 Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 1999, Swindon away. Ricky scored a cracker - me and my lad there all the way from Oz. Had a minor set to with Bristol City fans on the way to the game after pulling into a rural pub for some scran and a coachload of them pulled up. Anyway, Ricky scored a cracker and I seem to recall Donkey Deano scoring too? We were 4-0 up at HT if I remember rightly. Fans singing "Oh, Ricky you're so fine......" Always liked Gardner - great full back and a bit of flair about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Gardener was a great player not a good player everyone who has played for us since the prem has been bang average at best Or just shit being a legend at the club is totally different it spans levels but what they did while they were here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 4, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2019 We used to sing Ricardooo-o-o-o all the time in North Lower. No one else did mind but we loved the bandy legged fucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 My grandad loved the fact that when Ricky was running with the ball there were the things all working independently of each other; the ball, Ricardo Gardner and Ricardo Gardner's legs. It worked and was a brilliant player for us even if he had a knack for trapping the ball further than I could kick it at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
