David Kelly 1117 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Kevin Scott. Definetly not a wannabe gangsta. Good centre back, until he went to Spurs. We sold them all our best players in those days......Scotty was always shite as far as I remember. I agree with Stephenson, looked great for a few games but then faded badly (couple of my mates in their forties coudldn't even remember who he was when he was brought up last night). I always thought Allan Neilsen looked good when he played for us but he fell away. David Roache looked good for a while but we all know what happened to him! The player who I really thought would be class though wasn't one that we brought through but we signed him quite young, was John Gallagher. For those who don't remember him, he made his debut in the same game as Mick Quinn when Quinny scored four. Gallagher was a winger who scored the other goal and on the day he made more of an impression on me than Quinn did. If memory serves, it was injury that pretty much wrecked his career which was a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 John Gallagher's debut against Leeds suggested he could develop in to a top top player, but he was back in the jock lower leagues within 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I liked Alan neilsen too.went to Southampton didn't he? Chris holland? Aye. Chris Holland's debut against Ipswich was absolutely brilliant, but someone sprayed chemicals in his eyes at the Ritzy and his sight wasn't the same, and neither was he.

I met him in Shields just after this game when he was doing a signing day in the old indoor market (seriously!) so went and got his autograph. Injury pretty much fucked him over. I will also add my childhood crush Michael O'Neill to this as well. After that first season we thought we had a real star. Then an injury and he just fell away...

Scotty was captain on merit when Keegan turned up as manager..thing is he was in division 2 at the time and hed filled in pretty well after the likes of Roeder, Jackson and Thorn left. The step up was too much for him. Not the first player thats happened to. I liked him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Seem to remember him being soft as shite. Couldn't believe Spurs paid what they did for him. Barely played for them at all iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diogenes 0 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Think we got 750 thousand for him, which was a canny wedge at the time. dwarfed by the 4 and a half million we got for ruel fox a few years later mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Fox was £4.25m not £4.5m without being pedantic. Michael O'Neill's hatrick against Luton will live long in my memory, one of them the best volley you'll ever see. He was 18 then and you thought he could do anything in the game. That was the highlight of his career, and sitting on Coventry's bench later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14096 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Definitely, O'Neill was probably my first proper hero in black and white. Doesn't matter that it didn't last or that even the Mighty Embryo couldn't stop him from being humiliated in Luxembourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned before that I was at this game as a teenager with my Dad and my late Northern Irish Granda and uncle who were over visiting which made it even better that O'Neill scored three, you'd think my Granda had personally scored the goals instead of O'Neill as we left the Gallowgate end and he got a few pats on the back off our supporters. Of course the piss taking by Wharton and Gazza was the icing on the cake, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
