McFaul

I haven't really got much of an opinion on this but you can be 100% sure if the shoe was on the other foot, they'd reinstate West Ham as a Premiership club.

Aye Darko Pancev too who looked as good as van Basten for them but he was shite when he went to Serie A.

Aye, there was rumours of a £750,000 deal in the offing, but Sheff Wed had just come third in the top flight, won a trophy the season before, and Newcastle had done nothing for years and there wasn't a great deal of evidence that we'd definitely go up. At his age he did what most would do and went to Hillsborough. I remember at John Anderson's testimonial, Waddle played and the fans were singing "Waddle sign for us" but never mind. Yes Alex, that final was shit, it's a shame because Red Star had it in them to play better than that.

I think only an idiot could underrate Chris Waddle. He was player of the year in France when Marseille were the best side in Europe, and in 1991 him and Papin were the key reason they made it to the final. I seem to remember him almost beating AC Milan on his own en route in the Velodrome. A reason why he's not seen as high as he should by some Newcastle supporters is because of the "judas" tag, which was still around in 1993 when he came back with Sheffield Wednesday. I think Waddle could easily have won European Footballer of The Year in 1991, 88-92 were his peak seasons, and he deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as anyone. I don't blame him for leaving Newcastle, we were a desperate club ran by desperate withering old men going no where, and the change imprived his game still further.
