Didledee Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Would TH be the best player you've seen against Bolton? if not, then who? Ronaldo? Drogba? Ribery? to name a few. Retired today, what a player he was. Quote
Juan.Kerr Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Rodney Jack. No, I agree, Tierry Henry was a superb player and professional. If I had a cap on, I would undoubtably doff it to him. Top man and deserves a testimonial somewhere. Edited December 16, 2014 by Juan.Kerr Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Did Gullit get a clap at the Reebok? Rather than a boo? I wouldn't happen these days! Quote
DazBob Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Steven Gerrard and Stan Collymore's performances against Bolton were the best two I've ever seen. Must say though, I felt honoured when I saw Gullit stride onto the Burnden turf. Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Did Gullit get a clap at the Reebok? Rather than a boo? I wouldn't happen these days! Had he not retired by then? He did play at Burnden though. Nobody gets close to Bergkamp for me. Quote
no balls Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure I've mentioned this before me & TH have met on more than one occasion He hated playing to the reebok and never had a good game (his own admission). He wanted to know why it was aways so windy & cold. Did I mention I have met Thierry? What a lovely man. Edited December 16, 2014 by no balls Quote
BoltonPro15 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Henry is the best player the prem has ever seen in my opinion. I used to genuinely look forward to watching him play whether at the Reebok or just on tele. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Best player in all competitions I've seen was Ribery playing for Munich but I was a little tipsy. Best I've seen against us in the league was Fabregas Quote
Walkden26 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Henry was an amazing player. Another worth a note who was always a joy to watch was Gianfranco Zola. Quote
radcliffe white Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Ruud Gullitpure class when he came to burnden that year. Quote
tomski Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Did Gullit get a clap at the Reebok? Rather than a boo? I wouldn't happen these days! It was last season at burnden in cup iirc. The night of Matthew Hardings accident ffs seems like a few people also remembered before me:) Edited December 16, 2014 by tomski Quote
tomski Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 It was pretty big news him playing that night. Don't think it will be beat by a non wanderer Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 He came on as sub at Reebok, he just announced his retirement IIRC http://www.11v11.com/matches/bolton-wanderers-v-chelsea-26-october-1997-23048/ Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 He came on as sub at Reebok, he just announced his retirement IIRC http://www.11v11.com/matches/bolton-wanderers-v-chelsea-26-october-1997-23048/ fairly sure that was when some scum from the London based press accused wanderers fans of racially abusing him-was actually the opposite he got a great reception, was their early and can remember being surprised by the level of applause he got in the warm up Quote
RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Not the best to play against us but for effectiveness it has to be Robbie Fowler, got sick to death of him netting against us. Quote

RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I don't know anybody who heard those chants, the reception he got when he came on was incredible for someone who no connections to the club. Quote

A shame that no report of his tremendous reception was made-but that doesn't sell papers I suppose. Quote
radcliffe white Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 hard call when people say best ever striker,Henry top draw without a doubt but for me preferred shearer,fowler and nistlerooy. Quote
DazBob Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Henry never seemed to fancy it at the Reebok for some reason. Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Henry never seemed to fancy it at the Reebok for some reason. Unlike Freddie Fooking Ljungberg Quote
