One of my all time favourite R's.
So much so that i pretty much modelled my game on his during much of my 17 years playing sunday league.

Micklewhite was a good player, had a perfectly good goal ruled out by that, how shall I put this......... Tottenham supporting ref in the Cup Final replay....... being polite there.

One of the original unsung hero's of our little club.....often the original scapegoat for all things that went wrong, my late father would curse him most games, but was capable of the most sublime moments...... the bicycle kick goal at Wolves and that most memorable 2nd goal against Liverpool in the wonderful 75/76 season...... Next year is the 30th anniversary of his sad passing.........
Ah why not.

I'd add the following to that list of has been's.
Jose Bosingwa
Park Ji Sung
Rio Ferdinand
Julio Cesar
I bet we were paying those four over 300 grand a week. Cesar was an awful keeper. Did all four of them win the Champions league? I know we had 5 ex-champion league winners in our team at one stage including Cisse.
Thanks Mr. Redknapp for your fantastic judgement.
Every team needs a Micky Leach

Our colleague Danish worked with him in the 80s I think and speaks very highly of him indeed.*
From the same generation, a cult figure for me and my old man

* I might have got that entirely wrong, if so apologies all round.
One of the nicest people I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet, regardless of the stars in my eyes.
Humble, gracious and ever so calm - we were working as “financial consultants” - all of us complete sheisters, liars and thieves - all except this magnificent lighthouse of humanity.
He left his mark in his own inimitable manner.
I thought it might be Warren Neill at first, but it's Ron Abbott isn't it?
Presumably a cult figure in the same way that Devon White was for some.
Yeah, he hung around the squad for years and hardly ever played. But we liked him because he had shoulders which looked like someone had stuffed a coat hanger in his shirt. You knew we had some bad injuries when Ron was on the bench, let alone on the pitch. But he wasn’t that bad, could play CB or CF, kind of, and I think had a starring role the win against Derby, the Champions, in 75/6, when he and Tony Tagg stood in for McLintock and Webb. We won 5-1 away, as of course you remember.
A mate and I called Ron Abbott ‘coathanger’ as it always looked like he forgot to take the coathanger out of his shirt when he put it on!
Just saw SBs post while I was typing!
