dusan nikolic Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) For his birthday Super John is asked to pick his 5 favourite goals scored for us (he picks 6) . Does everyone agree or do you have your own favourites. Personally the Preston promotion goal and the winner against Hull are 2 of my favourites , or I could easily fill the list with all his goals v Wolves.

Matt Lofthouse Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Agree with Johns no.1 pick. Will never tire of watching that, love our fans reaction behind the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted April 9, 2020 Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 Any goal we score against Wolves is a good one in my book but even more so by SJM. Our Kits in SJM’s era were just something else, red lettering on the back looked great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Fantastic set of goals from a genuine BWFC great, the hang time on that header at Liverpool was unbelievable Mcginlay defied gravity, also on the 3rd goal seeing the manny road in raptures with Jesus (P.R.) arms aloft is a joy to watch and remember those great Burnden memories.

jeep Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 For the Wolves goal at Burnden did anyone notice the family sat on the front row straight after SJM scored? Everyone else was jumping up going mad. This lot were sat down with sour faces! Must've been Old Gold Cunts!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been Old Gold Cunts!!! good spot I've seen that footage loads, and never noticed that but whilst we're on about random things you might notice on match footage when we beat Leicester 5-0 on the opening day Frandsen's 1st goal to make it 4-0, there is one bloke in the crowd who cheers before anyone else does, as though he saw it go in first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Can’t disagree with his choices really. That goal at Anfield, along with Walker’s are two of the best goals I’ve ever seen BWFC score. The cross, the finish, the occasion, for both of them was summat else But, but, but........come on, forget Anfield, forget the last game at Burnden, THAT Wolves game and THAT goal is forever how I’ll remember SJM. His battles with the dogheads is ingrained in our culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'd argue that his most important goal for us was his penalty against Preston the last day of 92/3. That had been a deeply frustrating day up to that point and he had nerves of steel to beat Simon Farnworth with the pen. A shout out also for the game at Turf Moor in 94/5. An absolute typical McGinlay goal to give us the lead deflecting in a cross from the left. Then taking the throw-in while their player was still in a heap. Just like any fan would have done in those circumstances ..... fuck Burnley, we only needed nine men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Thing I love about SJM is I didn’t rate him at first Grew up with John Byrom as the hero, then Frank appeared and then for years it was shit Next up it was the away coaches with the blue Scotland saltaire flag in the back window with Walker and McGinlay on it. Andy Walker was the next god and fuck me was he good. SJM was a bit part player for me. Then Walker got that injury and we were fucked. Well and truly fucked. But up he stepped. Can’t credit him enough for what he did That game at Anfield Andy Walker was still the main man and in terms of forwards ive seen for BWFC I’d put out him behind Frank and just ahead of Byrom. But in terms of who did what for BWFC SJM isn’t that far behind Nat imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusan nikolic Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) The first season (1992/93) , It was hard to take to any one other than Andy Walker at the beginning because the start to the season had been so poor , and if I remember Rioch was under a lot of pressure because results had been so indifferent. Then all of a sudden we just clicked , both Walker and McGinlay played 31 league games each, with Walkers scoring 26 league goals to McGinleys 16 , so you can say both players missed a third of the season for various reasons, but with the addition of David Lee we became pretty much unbeatable. The one regret for me is we didn't see them together properly in the division above , I've always wondered how we would have fared with both of them fighting fit . But on the other hand , if Walker hadn't have got the bad injury , he would have no doubt rattled in a few more ( he got 33 as it was ) , would we have been able to keep hold of him , I'm convinced personally that some Premier league club would have taken a chance on him.

Yes it clicked from Chester away didn’t it prior to that we had a rough time think it was 8/9 without a win walker was my favourite out of the two just a shame regarding injuries goals per appearances he must be top of the pile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Steejay Posted April 11, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2020 When they were at their best, they were fantastic. I remember them scoring a goal each at Swansea in a 2.1 win. Their finishing was so clinical and they knew each other’s game. Such a shame that we didn’t get 4/5 seasons of them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
