Think the mods can close this thread now... I can't think of any better than those! Particularly Nyron!! (He's a lovely bloke BTW, met him a couple of times, but football wise... We'll leave it there!)
Loved Nyron myself, One of those 'make you smile' players. Managers Like Mick, PDC and MoN, it's pretty easy to pick out the players, one had no money to work with and the other two only really had the one window, however, The Reidy days, apart from the obvious two there's loads of cracking players, Tommy, Cradock, Schwarz, Alan Johnson ect. Brucie too is very much debatable, I was a big Cana fan (preferred him to Cats but went for service over quality) there's Gyan too, Zenden (what a volly). So plenty of debate among the obvious.
Sadly, not to many from latter years. Bent was class for a while, Gyan spits and spurts, Owld ****s like Cole and Yorke, once great were a ****ing shambles.
Just looking at Roy Keane's first transfer window. Anthony Stokes Carlos Edwards Stern John Jonny Evans Danny Simpson Márton Fülöp Lewin Nyatanga Ross Wallace David Connolly Stanislav Varga Graham Kavanagh Tobias Hysén William Mocquet Clive Clarke Dwight Yorke Kenny Cunningham Robbie Elliott Arnau Riera Liam Miller Darren Ward Some ****e in there like.
Haha remember Gary Breen man, he use to run sideways with his arms by his knees, and wonder why he got skinned. Ah haha, he was ****ing turd man.
I remember him getting loads of abuse off our lot at Brighton away. he didn't like it one bit, nor did Caldwell, who was another knock-kneed pansy. Ran about like a fkin girl but for some reason thought he was hard. ah, them were the days.....
No one taking sess' for Bruce, Wickham could prove to be his best. I'd put Steve Bould in reids best buys.
A few of the best buys/loans. Bould. Evans Wellbeck Rose Steeeeeeeeed Bolo Hutcjinson Summerbee Arca Skp Quinn Bent Mig Manonne.
