Trademark Finishes

To lighten the mood a little, I was thinking about players' trademark finishes for us, two spring to mind;

 

Tony Philliskirk, header looping the ball back over the keeper (SJM did this a few times too)

 

Andy Walker, loved to slot the ball low in the corner, simple but effective.

SJM had a trademark penalty. Bottom corner, keepers right.

Not a player for us, but Teddy Sheringhams finish from short(ish) corners. He got away with it shit loads of times

Used to like the John Thomas shuffle when he'd turbo away from defenders one on one he rarely missed.

I used to try the Phyllis looping headers at school

 

Jut ended up ballooning them :D

 

Remember Alan Thompson's finish v Forest at home in that televised Sunday game? Sublime

Henry - the way he would 'open his body up' (tm sky sports 1999ish) and slot them whilst moving at full pace.

Me at 5 a side.

 

Sign me up.

Leigh Griffiths at Wolves takes a ridiculously good penalty. Apart from missing in the Scottish Cup Semi Final against Falkirk last season (yes, I was there).

Ray Stewart at west ham used to just smash his penalties so hard no keeper had a chance to get near them.

 

Fabrics Muamba with his trademark 20 yards over or wide shots

Ivan Klasnic. Best finisher I've ever seen in a Bolton shirt. The one at home to Everton when we won 3-2 sticks in my mind. Petrov was a very good penalty taker also.

Fuck me, Mounts, I'm sure you remember his first spell, but there was nowt "turbo" about the player I remember! He liked a Cruyff turn, JT, but he was good enough to slow it down so young lads could learn!

 

Romario was such an outstanding finisher I'm not sure he had a trademark other than putting it in the goal. He did like sticking it through the keeper's legs, though, and a particularly enjoyed him making a mug out of Schmeichel.

 

Proper Ronaldo, too - again, very adept, but I always think of him waltzing round the keeper.

 

Michael Owen was high into the top right in the days before he started robbing a living.

Brixton's "turn and shoot"

 

Deadly from three yards.

Ian rush

 

Galy Rinekar

 

Great finishers

Hate to say but john the cunt Aldridge could finish

Anelka 1 on 1...bosh...in the bottom corner

Ricketts for 2 years. Nothing really trademark about it he'd just score.

i've never seen anything like him

Tickets easily best finisher I've seen in a Bolton shirt, either foot, keepers never stood a chance

Andy walker best finisher I have seen in a bolton shirt..

Tony Yeboah, just fucking smash the ball as hard as humanly possible

Aye. Best finisher I've ever seen in our shirt. Coolness personified.

 

Utter waste of a talent, the fat greedy cunt.

Tony Yeboah, just fucking smash the ball as hard as humanly possible

People will laugh, they will say that it's folly, but we connected like a Yeboah volley.

Dalglish has to be up there, scored every type of goal......before my time but been told Jimmy Greaves was as good as any

Jermaine Beckford....   curled exquisitely into the top corner....  the top corner of the stand

Jermaine Beckford....   curled exquisitely into the top corner....  the top corner of the stand

Except that one for Everton against us.

Pull out and spray it on her bosom.
