I went to nearly every game that season but missed that piece of history. It helps add to his mythology.
Only thing I remember about John Moore (apart from the fact he was the worst striker I have ever seen in a city shirt) is after one night match he managed to get back to the Buccaneer before us and he had been playing!
That's how Chazz scored that penalty he bangs on about all the ****ing time. Off the goalie, back off Chazz, goes in.
Very True. Bitterness and resentment soon kick on don't they. If it was me I'd be begging my agent to get me away from the club. He'll hath no fury like a city fan when a player " DARE" leave.
It'd be a valid point if we hadn't just been relegated in a season when nearly every player we own was ****.
I was there, 1-0 Swindon. It just deflected off him as far as I recall. I remember in one of the Sunday papers it being described as a diving header.
Irrelevant. It's gone on for years here. City fans don't appreciate former players they just hold them in contempt largely.
I wasn't suggesting that an assist wasn't an assist just because it was accidental, I was merely pointing out that his assist stats are rather flattering and he ain't no Zaha.
Attempted diving header from a cross from the right that missed his head and hit him on the shoulder.... in the same game he megged someone, much to the amusement of the assembled masses
Bit of a broad brush, I fully appreciate anyone who I feel deserves it. And it depends what you mean, I'll slate players on here for playing ****e but the only player I have ever booed in a stadium was Matt Wicks. I was however ashamed and embarrassed by the treatment of Ash when playing for PNE.
No he ain't, but if he calmed down a bit in the final third he could be very good....'turbo' seems to apply not only to his leg speed but also the speed at which his brain races when he gets near the goal. On the plus side, he is very direct, which scares defences, and gets them on the back foot, and despite being erratic, when he plays he seems to create a chance or two (whilst admittedly also ****ing up several other opportunities during the same game). Let's face it, a team like ours is hardly going to be able to attract the finished article in the forward line is it?
It's always a factor in the season before the World Cup. Some national managers may prefer players to play only 20 odd games at a high level rather then 40 odd at in the second tier and risk fatigue come next June.
I do recall trying to celebrate the goal while in fits of laughter especially as he celebrated like he had scored a wonder goal
Re his heading. He wait's for the defender to make a mistake and get the second ball. Might work in French Ligue 1 or Poland but PL defenders either head it 20 yards or chest and control it. Makes him look lazy
He had hit the 'so bad he's funny' mark by this point. Unfortunately, he never transformed himself a la Billy Whitehurst into anything more than that. Makes you wonder what some managers see in players sometimes, especially as we were in the equivalent of the Championship at the time- it's not like we were skint and didn't have a choice.
A lot of this is true.but for bcc to compare him to beresford ???. But wait a minute.let me think on some more.maybe beresford was better than I can recall and growshitski is worse.
