Burndens Bogs Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) But I've heard several stories regading how arrogant he is/was. Convinced me to lose respect for him. In the mid to late 90's when we were struggling our arses off in the Prem, he deliberately got himself booked - so he would be suspended and therefore ineligible to play at Old Trafford, because he didn't quite fancy it. Factamundo. Edited May 29, 2008 by Burndens Bogs
jules_darby Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 in the top division, he had about 8 good games Which is more than the majority of our midfield had last season. Over-rated or not he did some good things for us and was part of us stepping up a gear as a team and club
jules_darby Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 He got sent off playing for England under 21's for nutting some foriegner, I reckon he was black balled by the suits at the F.A. after that, I had a good few bevvies with him, did turn into a bit of a lad when he'd had a few adult beverages, remember when Tommo, Aiden Davidson, and Brownie, smashed up that bar in Manchester......3 pissed up Geordies taking on all commers......... Was that when Davidson threw a barstool through a window?
Phoenix Club Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) I remember standing on the terraces at Burnley when we played them in a pre season friendly in 1993. That was Thommo's first game for us and he scored a scorching left footer straight into the top corner which almost took the net out. Edited May 29, 2008 by Phoenix Club
bolton in bedford Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Was in Mcginlays once after a game and he was in with a few other players.Got them to sign the back of my shirt. When I woke up next day and looked at the shirt, he had drawn a cock. Cheers mate !! Great player though. I was with you Marple, all the players there were great apart from Tommo who I thought was a tosser.
marple whites Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I was with you Marple, all the players there were great apart from Tommo who I thought was a tosser. Bearing in mind though we were totally pi**ed. Think we had played Burnley last game and Philliskirk scored for them. A few of the players were annoyed that they had been booed.
