Reminds me of..

On another thread I mentioned that De Ridder reminded me of a poor man's Tommy Jenkins. This has set me thinking as to whether any of our current squad could also be compared to previous Saints players re: their style of play.. Mine would be.. Billy Sharpe and Ted Macdougal.. Both score(d) goals by clever positioning in the box, both have/had a lack of pace, both have/had a physical demeanour that suggests weight might be an issue. David Peach and Danny Fox.. Both like(d) to get forward. Both good with dead ball and their left foot. Both vulnerable to tricky wingers... Anymore?

 

Billy reminds me a bit more of Steve Moran ( cue Second Stain) than supermac. I think Jos did a very good impression of Killer last season.

 

Why cue SecondStain, lamb..?

Not a bad comparison of Sharp and MacDougall, but Ted was the better finisher, in my opinion. According to Alan Ball, he was difficult to get on with, which sort of explains why he moved around a lot of clubs - usually followed by Phil Boyer, or sometimes the other way round.

Good one with Jos/Killer. Do you know that Michael played several games last season..?

 

Had it in my head he was your fav player but maybe my aged memory is playing tricks again!

 

I have a feeling that next season may see us start drawing comparisons between Morgan and Stevie Williams but on the brief glimpses we've had, Lee looks a bit like Pahars.

 

If Jos is Killer then Fonte must be Claus. Not as good but quite skilful at times e.g. his run to create the goal against Coventry.

 

In the air, Lambert is beginning to resemble Ron Davis. Many of his out-field headers find his team mates. Last year he hardly ever jumped, preferring to back into defenders and try to win a free kick. I think he might have been carrying a bit of an injury that prevented him jumping.

Luckily, on the ground he doesn't resemble Ron at all.

 

Back from the pub so this might be out of left field, but how about Morgan S and Ken Wimshurst

 

Dean Hammond similar combative style to Nick Holmes

de ridder and terry curran

 

Frazer Richardson and Peter Rodrigues

 

I saw a picture of the Spurs bench and thought Michael was there as part of the coaching staff. It must have been his doppleganger. Looked into what he was doing and he is assistant manager for Halmstads and made 7 appearances for them this season.

Such a shame his career ended early with us, he was immense.
