A lad who I work with now worked with Barnes and McAteer at Tranmere and he says McAteer is the thickest person he has ever met Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 McAteers debut was a cup game against Rochdale. He scored the first in a 4-0 win. What a find he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 When younger and higher education one of the fellow students was a former Bolton YTS player, he had some interesting tales. McAteer is from a boxing family. At the trial match he played with the YTS, his mum and family attended with a big banner saying “come on our Jase” Stubbs and Macca were heroes to the kids. Macca had a mobile phone and let one of the scouse YTS kids use it, who rang his mum and said “mar, I’m on Macca’s phone!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAteer was probably the best midfielder outside the premier League when he played for us. Loved him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GMR commentator was Wilf McGuiness who announced that Bolton had unearthed a diamond who would have a great career ... after 90m watching him. I was doing a talk to a group & McG was following me on. He remembered the game & his opinion 20 uears on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves second leg. Ilkley whites brother and sister in law big Wolves fans, they are top people and have had some great nights with them. They parked next to us on Raikes Lane, by time we got back they were already driving out, I ran next to their car 'waving', they 'waved' back, took his eyes off the road and drove into car in front of him, no obvious damage, sorted with a hand shake. Turned out they had damaged their radiator, got on M6 engine massively over heats and they are fucked. Had to ring up and join AA ( no mobile phone) so walked to a phone by mway, cost him a fortune and got home about 4 hours later. Apart from that and the game was not a bad day for him.

Did a pretty good job partnering McGinlay after Walker got injured in the first season under Rioch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryPorter Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Scott Green was recommended to Phil Neil by Bob Paisley as Liverpool had scouted him and he was considered a ‘risk-free’ affordable versatile signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2021 When he told Bruce Rioch his girlfriend was expecting twins they were living in a flat at the time. Bruce loaned him £10k to go and put down on a house. He spent it on a car! When Bruce saw it he went ballistic at him and told him to take it back. Told to me by the guy who used to look after the tunnel during matches at both Burnden Park and Reebok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Green was unbelievable that night. The next day I had to drive to London & passing Wokverhampron I bobbed into a papershop & bought the local rag. They were raving about him.

I drove back with a mate & on the M62, near the M6 junction after Birchwood, we passed several coachloads of desperately disappointed Wolves fans. At one stage my pal started getting a bit over excited & signalling to the coach occupants. Wild faces & waving arms appeared. Lots of pointing & snarling. Not pretty. Thinking this was quite a jape ceased however as congestion brought all lanes to a halt. Some coaches behind us opened their doors & a couple of dozen Black Country hoolies came charging toward us. I pulled into the hard shoulder & put a couple of hundred yards between us. Then others pulled out & followed me. I'd invented the 'Smart Motorway !! Who threw the turnip from Manny Road at Taylor ?
