Casino Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I love a good nostalgic post this this one. Peter Thompson used to run em ragged, Liverpool must have had one almighty team to allow a talent like that to leave. In respect to the original best ever question, weve had a few, but one springs to mind and was a class above anything else we had at the time, his name? Dusan Nicolic, anyone remember him. Also what about Ferret? cant think of his name now but we did sign him from Spurs. Keep em coming. i presume you mean neil mcnab waste of money that lad up there with cantello and clement
Maggie Tate Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Mark Came before he broke his leg Did he now? Ha ha, I can't possibly let that one slip What a rollercoaster day that must have been for him
seasoned Traveller Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Err.............Andy Walker. End of Thread!!!!
Benny The Ball Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 when do the dark days start/finish ? For me the "Dark Days" started round about the 25th October 2007 and finished just over a week ago. NB.... I've only been watching them since 1970.
DaveTheRave Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Err.............Andy Walker. End of Thread!!!! David Lee, class act back then. They both played in the glory days of 1992/93. To qualify for this thread you can't have played since the Phil Neal days imo.
White on Tyne Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Here's one that I bet not many will remember. Back in the dark days of 81-82 season we had a guy on loan from Middlesbro' called Ian Bailey. Left back. He stood out from the dross on offer at the time, so much so that it prompted a mini demo of "we want Bailey!" outside the ground after one particualr game. Needless to say we didn't get to sign him. Any one else remember him?

Any one else remember him? cracking player now, im not sure if we had him on loan twice what i am sure of, is that later in his career, he was playing against us - for sheff weds - i think he broke his leg as he was carted off, plenty were booing him and singing songs about how he'd miss the big game they had coming up fa cup semi, i think as fer decent left backs on loan - martin pike
Gumbo Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 MartinPike - Great Shout Didnt he either play against fulham or sign for fulham instead of us
glennboltw Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nobody has said David Burke he was a great left back!
YATESY Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 MartinPike - Great Shout Didnt he either play against fulham or sign for fulham instead of us That is a great shout. What season did he come to us and on loan from which club?
postman pat Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Brian Borrows for me, the lad was a million miles better than anyone else at the time & was quality in the top flight when he got there
DaveTheRave Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 That is a great shout. What season did he come to us and on loan from which club? 89/90 on loan from sheffield utd?
DaveTheRave Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I was gutted we never signed Dibble. But then Branagan came along
ZiggyStardust Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 89/90 on loan from sheffield utd? Phil Neal wouldn't sign cos SU put the price up by ?5k to ?65k ? Puts the current compo claim for Coyle in perspective.
clown Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Mark Winstanley's 40 yarder in the Sherpa Van - happy days. Wrexham at home? We were going out until that point IIRC Barry Cowdrill's couple of screamers were special. One got disallowed for offside. He hit the thing from about 35 yards and the linesman flagged for someone being offside. Swindon rings a bell. Ian Stevens was always a favourite of mine, never could understand why Steve Elliott got picked in front of him. And Trevor Morgan, forget the game - played in white but his shirt was red by the end.
Sumo Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Steve Thompson. World class. Could turn himself inside out that lad. I'd go Tommo as well , a lot of good plyers on here but my vote would go to Tommo mainly due to length of service during the bad (good) times & his ability to stand out amoungst the crap on a regular basis.
HoldensHairdo Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 ST - sent you a PM yesterday but now my messages link has disappeared.. .did u get it ? have u replied? if so where do i find it ? Cheers.
only1swanny Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Chris Fairclough fantastic player, didnt quite realise at the time how good he was... same with Taggart..
bwfcol Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Chris Fairclough Good shout but I wouldn't call his era the dark days!
jules_darby Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Chris Fairclough Jesus wept...Chris Fairclough & the bad old days in the same sentence?! Good player though Also looked extremely young for his age...so much so that his face was used as a "model" to promote the world cup in France in 98 in some form or other...
