Think we got them relatively on the cheap as they were having financial issues. Backbone of our team sorted for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Can’t believe we are discussing it , talking about fitness etc given the state of the energy sapping pitches in those days plus two games a week . Walker & McGinley would walk into our current team not to mention Blake who along with SJM scored thirty goals in our title winning season in the Championship as well !

I agree, for me the Charles comparison is with David Reeves not McGinlay or Walker 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted December 4, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2022 Loved Nathan Blake but he would be penalised every time he went near the ball these days.... And a lot of times when he didn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted December 4, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2022 They were both up for a scrap and Bolton through and through in the white shirt. I can't see any of our current lot morphing into a W or McG, or a big Ged Taggart though. The game is not for them these days (I'm not sure it was ever for Toddy, mind).

Farnywhite Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) What a partnership of course they would cut it today there isn’t a player anywhere near them at this level today and don’t forget they both went on to play international football as well . For me walker had that bit more class than John as a player but John was more of a team player would drop deep into midfield if he had to and collect the ball and make things happen played on the wing at Wembley played in the net against reading Edited December 4, 2022 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Absolutely. Graft them two circa 1992 on to this team and we'd be up with Plymouth and Ipswich, no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the older videos and the play was just so different, games much quicker etc When Comparing players from different eras you have to have allow for variations in speed and fitness of the modern game. Otherwise you could argue Pele would not get in our team now for those reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
