OTD

Too busy in the betting shop with Mr sulk Gerwen trying to recoup their losses.

 

"You're just a fat Eddie Murphy" sung the away end as he came on as substitute at Anfield. Our last appearance in the premier league.

 

Jimmy Floyd Moneybank …. perhaps the polar opposite of Garth Crooks ….. Garth gave us 100% effort when he joined us at the end of his career while JFM gave us 0% effort

 

The only effort he put in was trousering his reported 35k weekly wages.

 

A good move for Jordan going to Stoke, as long as the manager does not get the tin tack soon into the season.

 

In those days there was a load of players moving between us, the spanners and the caravan dwellers.

 

Didn't we sign him on a two-season loan, but he renaged on the second season?

 

Smertin, Holland and Murphy was a tidy midfield.

 

It was indeed, But then Murphy started playing up, Smertin went back to Chelsea a year early Jensen faded badly after Parker left Ambrose went downhill leaving Curbs with plenty of problems in midfield. Oh, and Rom started hiding.

 

but we still had Kish to carry the water all game.... one of the hardest working players ever!

 

In my all time squad of 25.

 

And one of the most under-rated by sections of our support who couldn't appreciate what he was doing. "Headless chicken" wasn't that the phrase they used? Fortunately Curbs knew better.
