My dad and his mates raved about him but I'm guessing I was 11 or 12 and not yet ready for Big Billy haha
Wasn't there a story of him fighting with a Rovers player in town one night? Made a mess of the Rugby player? My father in law would know will ring him next time I've got a spare 6 hours to chat
Didn’t say it was high quality it’s definitely more impressive then a 20 goal season the championship though
Tbh there's more then one or two tales of Big Billy sorting blokes out who pissed him off, hence his legendary status.
This is the 17th time he's been on the bench this season, although he's only made 3 appearances totalling 31 minutes.
Recouped fee £20k wages off the wage bill every week. Not the end of the world imo from a consistency stand point. How many times has he put in a performance where you’ve genuinely believed he’s a level above the opposition which he supposedly is meant to be. Burnley away the only one that springs to mind for me.
i'd say most players who score 20 in a championship season end up having half decent careers either in the prem or other good leagues
Definitely, Portuguese league is certainly improving though. The fees some of their players can be demanded for are in the words of Chazz “insane”
A lad I worked with years ago was mates with Keith Edwards, they knew each other through greyhound racing, although he was a massive Wednesday fan. He was in a club one night with Keithy when some Wednesday fans started hassling Edwards. Whitehurst came across and flattened 5 of them and the others ran off. Said he had never seeing anything like it.
Struggling to tell with the translations but Tufan to Besiktas looks like it will initially be a loan, with either an option to buy or a mandatory buy clause. If it's the former and he isn't a success, I worry we'll never recoup our money.
If the Ozan thing is true, I for one wish him well. I dont think he ever shirked it here. There were times that he stood out like a sore thumb quality wise. What I do know is that you just cannot not replace him unless Traore is seen as that person.
