Take Hunt Off Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Great footballer & character one of our better ones .Never understood why Hierro got idol worshipped so much despite the low no of games he played for us .I suppose it was the nifty chant 'He came from Real Madrid '....etc Well Campo came from Real Madrid & didnt even cost a quid....

He was pretty average for us, the longer time goes on though, the more people will suggest he was better than he actually was whilst wearing a Bolton shirt (Bernard Mendy also falls into that bracket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Hierro was ace, as was the mere thought of him playing for us. Edited January 3, 2020 by boltondiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Emmanuel is like a poor man’s Bernard Mendy. Rapid as fuck but no defensive nous nor any control over his feet or where the ball is going to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Emmanuel is one of the most one-footed players I've ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 We’ve a team of sub standard cloggers. Why are we debating who’s one footed? Majority are lucky they are classed as able bodied some weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hierro as good as he was for Madrid only played 21 games for us (plus 14 sub apps from the bench) & only 15 of the 21 were in the Premier League .No doubt he provided some quality moments . Ivan Campo played 166 times for us plus 28 sub apps .& also provided some quality moments( as well as a few scary ones ) Its just a question of added value & Campo for me added more to our club than his former teammate.

Not saying its top quality, but I've seen far more 1 footed players than him, eg Chicksen, Josh Earl, Wright. If they have ever used their right foot I mustnt have been watching.

Whether he played 100 games for us or 10, he was quality. Never rushed, always found space, always passed intelligently and with pure quality. As much as I love Campo he wasnt as good, quite clumsy at times and played into trouble or over hit "worldy" passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
