Very happy to have seen them in a white shirt, but sad to reflect how far we've fallen

Probably the best of the lot for me

I 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.

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.

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.

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.

His 40yd passes were just sublime

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.

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.
