Robbie "show us yer arse" (is some skill out of the question!!?) Savage was hardly unsung.

His song was Top 3 in Paddock charts for a couple of seasons

 

 

Totally agree with you. But how many of 'The Reebok' generation even

know of the REAL Robbie Savage :-k

 

How many KNOW of Robbie Savage :-k

Simon Coleman - Even if only for scoring THAT goal which still upsets my Burnley supporting mates.

 

We only need 9 men! :D/

 

 

Coleman for me too.

Surprised no-one has mentioned David "runs his socks off" Reeves yet.

Again, a popular player with fans of the day but was complete pants in front of goal which, as a striker, I sort of hoped he might have an idea of what to do #-o

 

Was going to say him. Ran his socks off for Philliskirk to get all the praise

Steve Thompson, a class act in some very average sides, the best midfielder in Div 3 in those days by a mile. Not many have played more games for the Whites as well.

Was my favourite at the time. He was well liked until right at the end when I thought he was scape goated a bit before he went to Luton...

Didn't he go to Leicester?

Steve Thompson first game for Luton September 1991. Played 5 games for Luton then transferred to Leicester in October 1991.

Think the conversation between David Pleat (Luton manager) and Phil Neal went something along the lines....

 

David: Right Phil, we'll give you ??500 upfront plus ??500,000 after 6 appearances

 

Phil: Aye alright then. He's our best player but we're getting a good deal.

Does anyone remember Steve Thompson scoring a goal when a keeper kicked it out (not very far), it bounced once and then at the very bottom of the 2nd bounce he half volleyed it in - skimming along the ground into the back of the net?? I've no idea when or which team it was against...

So David Pleat asked Phil Neal if he was "doing any business?" :-k

never liked steve thompson

 

or warren joyce

 

neither was fit to lace the boots of neil redfearn

 

unfortunately for redfearn, daddy wasn't the first team coach

 

fortunately for redfearn, our loss was his gain

Posted

Tony 'Zico' Kelly, that goal away at Wigin ( I think )

 

Also Bruno, I know he's one of our modern day 'stars' , but I feel that he doesnt always get the praise he deserves.

Posted
Redfearn walked out on the club, Tomo played over 300 games. ](*,)

 

he left 'cos he couldn't get a game

 

he was an excellent player and we should have been building a team around him
