400 up for Crouchie

[ProudPotter]

Last night's appearance from off the bench was Peter Crouch's 400th Premier league appearance. A milestone for him. Although his game time is limited these days he's turned out to be a very good signing for Stoke (despite the fee we paid for him and W(aste of space) Palacios). A true professional who has had an excellent career at the highest level.

 

[nickyb]

yes indeed

 

[Smithers]

Agreed!

 

[jowlermonkey]

He's done a good job for us especially in the early days and who will forget that wonder goal, good show sir.

 

[nickyb]

Yup that one agin Man City with Hart in mid air will live long in the memory - as have many of Jimmy Greehoff's 'specials'

 

[jowlermonkey]

Good for the youngsters who never saw Jimmy play.

 

[nickyb]

He was magic...£50 million in todays language JM. Thank goodness for youtube.

He has been a fantastic servant for you and always a pain in the neck for us - in more ways than one!

I have seen the greats from Sir Stan & Tom Finney through Pele, Maradonna & etc ...but Jimmy Greenhoff was and still is my No1. And I guess Ivor Allchurch is yours Taff?

Terry Paine for you Lambo ?

Yep Ivor was my favourite. I remember getting his autograph on the beach at Caswell when I was around 8 or 9!

And the rest Nick.
