February 13, 20179 yr He seemed to enjoy Charlton, had 2 or 3 cracking games there. I agree with above too, best of the lot
February 13, 20179 yr Author Another one here for best of the lot Obvs okocha 2nd But Youri didn't have to do tricks
February 13, 20179 yr Very happy to have seen them in a white shirt, but sad to reflect how far we've fallen
February 13, 20179 yr Yourri & Anelka were the 2 most significant signings... JJ was the cherry on top.
February 13, 20179 yr Probably the best of the lot for meI really cant call it between youri and jay jay. Youri didn't put a foot wrong, the model professional. I think I read he was fittest lad in our squad, yet smoked like a chimney. Great memories.
February 13, 20179 yr Liked watching Hierro. Lost some pace but could read the game and was comfortable with the ball. Like when you were a little kid and when dads came to join in, always one seemed to have eons to play the game while everyone else charged about.
February 13, 20179 yr Bought my Dad the Big Sam autobiography a bit ago. Sam talks about how Youri was not only a top player, but he demanded perfection in training and was a big part in raising the standards of the other players.
February 13, 20179 yr Youri had the biggest impact as he set the stage for the rest to come, JJ was the most gifted ....... but the "I need to pinch myself" moment for who wore the white shirt had to be Hierro given what that man had seen and done. Those Days are gone but at least we had them.
February 13, 20179 yr JayJay, Djorkaeff, Stelios, Campo, Hiero, Bergsson, were we just spoiled as Bolton supporters? Will those names ever grace the white shirt again?

February 14, 20179 yr Youri was the best imo. Great times. Edited February 14, 20179 yr by DaveTheRave
February 14, 20179 yr JayJay, Djorkaeff, Stelios, Campo, Hiero, Bergsson, were we just spoiled as Bolton supporters? Will those names ever grace the white shirt again? Brings a tear to one's eye. The ultimate BWFC teams were of that era. Youri was my personal favourite too even though Jay Jay was an absolute phenomenon.
February 14, 20179 yr Hierro was shite and on his way out til he got moved to the Campo role. I think there's a great deal of rose-tinted sentimentality when folk think of Hierro. I agree with Frank. I also thought Candela's performances were overstated too.
February 14, 20179 yr I think there were a few that didn't rate Candela. I thought he was quality. Didn't he give the club a proper slagging after he left?
February 14, 20179 yr Magnificent player, Youri. A privilege to have seen him wear the white shirt. Possibly my favourite all time BWFC player.
February 14, 20179 yr Hierro was shite and on his way out til he got moved to the Campo role. Then kept campo out. At that point he was class.
