Moderators Casino Posted April 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 11, 2020 There was a period, no idea what year. When we scored 4 or 5 every week for about a month Think Fulham away, 4 2, was in that run Burnley and Bradford ring bells There was one goal scored by brown Walker backheeled the pall perfectly in his stride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted April 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) As for McGinlay, when we signed him, I was working in bury with a match going shaker He was totally gutted But his memories of him were as a bit of a show pony Lots of tricks and skills Always presumed Rioch had got into his ribs Wonder what it was about Rioch and to a lesser extent McGinlay and Branagan that it didn't work at millwall Danny Baker used to hate Rioch and his football Edited April 11, 2020 by Casino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 11, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2020 I'd agree, struggle to remember him missing when one on one with a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always defend Ricketts when the ‘worst player to play for England’ argument comes up. His call up was more than justified. Top scoring Englishman in the Prem at the time.

I get your point but I think he is referring to their time with us & in that case he isn't being unreasonable. Ricketts was top drawer for us until it fell to bits.

Site Supporter Steejay Posted April 12, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2020 There was a spell when Ricketts was awesome. Against Leicester and Manu he was unplayable. Wes Brown will still be having nightmares about him. But, as stated, it was all about his head space. He’d just started going off his game when he got selected for England and we did well with the transfer fee. I met Lenny Johnrose once ( ex PNE, Bury), and he spoke really well about him, saying that Ricketts had it all, except in his head. Said he was a proper good bloke too.
