Tungsten3 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Good to see JJ okocha being recognised as being one of the best in the prem. Although they said he was there during our best period which wasnt correct as he didnt play in the UEFA cup seasons. Gary speed also mentoned but bolton wasnt mentioned by shearer but sheff utd was. They did have in a bolton raining top in there footage section tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a look regarding their foray into the European cup that season , beaten home and away by Rangers ( 2-1 both matches) , in the previous round they beat Stuttgart 4-1 at home after losing 3-0 in Germany , instead of losing on away goals , they played a third match after Stuttgart were found to have played a fourth foreign player ( the limit was 3 at the time , imagine that now).

Offshore Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 For all his goals, is it just me or is Shearer a top knob jockey? Always disliked him since he convinced that twat of a ref to send Jussi off......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always threw his elbows around as well. Still one hell of a player, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DazBob Posted May 4, 2020 Members Share Posted May 4, 2020 Shearer played Keane like a fiddle. I'd not know who to put money on in a fight between those two, Shearer certainly didn't look worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
