Klasnic taking a shot that he fucked up so bad it went out for a throw behind him.

 

Campo getting tackled by a carrier bag.

 

As good a player they might have been, comedy moments always stand out.

Not one of them are in the class of JJ and Youri.

You'd have to go back nearly 30 years to Gazza for any England midfielder as good as Jay Jay. I can't think of one as good as Youri in his position.
 
Not surprising that the likes of Steve Thompson and David Lee arent in the same class :lol:.
 
We wouldn't have got out of the 3rd Division that first season without Lee though, the season kicked off from his debut at Exeter. Walker and Mcginlay was a great strike force at that level but the midfield before Lee wasn't good enough to supply them.

To be a glass half empty man....

 

Liverpool should've been 4-0 down at half time and we needed a dodgy as fuck pen agains Preston to go up thanks to lee missing about 3,000 chances.

 

(I don't actually believe this by the way :D )

Lee was signed in the Autumn of 92, wasn't his debut a match winning perfomance at Exeter when we doing a bit shit.Walker was signed the season before. We had a shite start to 92/93 with Walker at our disposal but it all changed when Lee was signed

you're probably right

 

walker definitely started away at exeter and scored straight away

 

 

that was a poor start to the season but mcginlay only arrived september/october

 

first goal in a dismal game v port vale

 

poss soon followed by dismal games at chester and pne

yeah we had mcginlay/Walker for a few weeks together but the midfield couldn't do them justice, then it all clicked with Lee. thre was a big win at Fulham and big win at home to burnley just after exeter. i think we lost 6 of the first 9 league games that season.

The PNE game away? 2-2

 

If so I think that was my first league game (having done both Southampton home and away the year before)

Aye he didn't get on with johansen either. Remember him sulking at the side at Walsall and everyone chanting his name.
