Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Kevin Scott was bobbins man. I cried laughing the day Spurs actually paid us real money for him. Ardilles obviously rated him as he had him as a player up here. You'd think he'd have known better. Not sure if you'd say he was underrated/underestimated as such but David McCreery was such a steady player for us. Didn't Spurs pay best part of a million for him when he was pushing 30? Aye, 850k rings a bell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOREBOARD1 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 We had some fucking garbage during them days though. I shudder at the memory of the likes of Paul Sweeney Mark Stimson Kenny Sansom Lee Payne Frank Pingel Rob McDonald Spot-on. Also add Paul Moran, Terry Wilson, Gavin Mcquire. Loan players but awful. Also anyone remember Neil Simpson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Aye granted Scott wanst great but I thought he did a job for us. Always rated Ranson. Brock on his day and when he wanted was a canny player. Scored a few cracking free-kicks. One at home to Chalton when they beat us 3-1 midweek was a good un. Kevin Sheedy Scott Sellars I don't think we ever played better football under KK than the season when Sellars played wide-left before Ginola arrived. He was a quality footballer and combined really well with Beresford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackbleep 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Kevin SheedyScott Sellars When KK got Sheedy I thought he was the best left winger I'd seen at the club. Only for him to replace him with one better in Sellars. Highlights the fucking garbage we were subjected to before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shudder at the memory of the likes of Paul Sweeney Mark Stimson Kenny Sansom Lee Payne Frank Pingel Rob McDonald I never minded Sweeney actually. Not that he was any good or owt (which he wasn't), but he was always committed. Stimson and Fereday on the other hand actually made me believe that 95% of the adult male population could get a game as a professional footballer.

Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 We had some fucking garbage during them days though. I shudder at the memory of the likes of Paul Sweeney - played a blinder on night against Derby in the ZDS Cup, apart from that shite Mark Stimson - pure shite I remember he got sent off at home to Wolves 0-0 draw so we needed him and all four corners of the ground cheered the refs decision Kenny Sansom - fat and finished here Lee Payne - didn't play enough Frank Pingel - utter kenk Rob McDonald - the worst centre forward I've seen in black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I'll tell you who was underrated - Robbie Elliott, in his first spell here. KK preferred Bez though as he was better going forward and had more pace. Elliott was pretty good going forward himself mind. Injury prone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford was all set for a move to Liverpool before he came here IIRC but failed the medical so they lost interest. I don't remember him once having a serious injury issue in his time here.

Not that he was any good or owt (which he wasn't), but he was always committed. Stimson and Fereday on the other hand actually made me believe that 95% of the adult male population could get a game as a professional footballer. Paul Sweeney = Fiery Scot (Ginger, slow, scottish and shit). Mark Stimson = Jason Donovan (the real Donovan would have tackled harder). Kenny Sansom = A fat cockney bastard who didn't give a fuck about NUFC, was just here for his last signing on fee. Lee Payne = came from non-league but just wasn't really up to it. Frank Pingel = came from Scandinavia and just wasn't up to the job. Rob McDonald = The Ronny Gill kept saying he was a sprinter for Edinburgh athletics or something like that when we signed him. (Some evil team-mate obviously put lead in his boots whilst at NUFC as he was slow and shit, did score a good header at Hillsborough one game I was at, to be fair). Fereday = Made his debut at Filbert street, it was pissing down all day, we drew 2-2 and Wayne had a good game, I turned around to my mate and said the immortal words, "Fucking hell! we've signed a good player here, mind!" Aye granted Scott wanst great but I thought he did a job for us. Always rated Ranson. Brock on his day and when he wanted was a canny player. Scored a few cracking free-kicks. One at home to Chalton when they beat us 3-1 midweek was a good un.

Elliott was pretty good going forward himself mind. Injury prone though. Elliott was underrated but don't think Bez was, well not by me, anyway. Davey Mac was one of my heroes as a kid, his attitude was class, certainly don't think he was underrated by most Mags. By the way, how many of those shit players were signed by Jim Smith? Puts to bed his fucking credentials the moaning twat he was! Edited September 8, 2010 by Howmanheyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lads who sat near us suggested he had running spikes in instead of studs. In theory he probably wasn't too far from the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lads who sat near us suggested he had running spikes in instead of studs. In theory he probably wasn't too far from the truth! Agree about Ando. Funny thing though, back then I noticed we either loved a player or hated him, was reading that 'Black & white daft' book the other day by Mick Edmundson which is a great read for anyone who used to go to the games pre-1992. Someone was commenting on a player, can't remember off the top of my head who it was, getting down the wing at Oakwell then putting a cross straight into the thousands of Mags down there and getting loads of stick. John Anderson then did the same five minutes later and it was, "ooooh! unlucky Johhny, son!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His testimonial was April 92 iirc, I remember the toon fans singing Waddle Waddle sign for us, because it was rumoured us and Sheff Wed were in for him as he was leaving Marseille, and further to that, Anderson had a really bad injury and never played again, and didn't play that night, but was still on our books, I'm pretty sure till the end of that season.
