Bluesteel Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I absolutely loved di canio growing up, Carbone too. Second set of heroes after Hirst and waddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Football moves on fast, it seems like many a year ago but those old enough to have remembered the quality players we had back in the 90's are very lucky.Like those of the older generation old enough to have witnessed the likes of Dooley; Fantham, Ron Springett, etc from the 50's and 60's. It makes you wonder though in today's terms how much the likes of Nilsson; Harkes, Sheridan, Hirst, Waddle, Carbone and Di Canio would be worth today? Prices for players have gone up so much since then in short space of time, that it's hard to see us ever having players of that caliber again, unless we bring an extraordinary player through the youth team or become a mega rich club one-day.

Lincs Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Apart from the shove, the feint, the mazy dribbles, the goals.... What did the Roman ever do for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There was no denying he was a cracking player. I really liked him and Benni up top. Shame the owners at the time let them go for next to nothing. Something that contributed to our slide down the table and subsequent relegation.

Guest BULGARIA Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 not sure if his goal in our 3-2 win at Southampton is on the clip as my internet is too slow where i live, but that goal is my all time favorite that ive seen live by a Wednesday player, just edging out that screamer from Harkes at Derby. Can anyone remember the goal that i mean? I think Wayne Collins got one of the others. Think it was the game that Carton Palmer and Hirsty scored for Southampton. What a day that was.

Guest Herbert Shoebanger Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Chris waddle was my favourite player ever to pull on a Wednesday shirt followed in a near photo finish by hirsty. However, I think to compare either of them with di canio is not really doable. Paolo had skill,dribbling ability and a cracking shot. Waddle had absolutely everything in the bag but also had the benefit of playing with some phenomenal players that allowed him to pick out that insanely good pass because it was anticipated by the likes of hirst, bright, warhurst. Hirst was the most complete centre forward I have ever seen - unless you ever saw him live (hull at home or Man City with michel 'fastest defender in the country' vonk being turned) I don't think you would ever appreciate how fast,skilful or powerful he was for a big bloke. All 3 were spectacularly good players but waddle did it at s6 for years, hirst scored 150 goals Di canio had his best years at West Ham- painful to say it but true. Like I said though-three different players and 3 different sets of attributes so to directly compare them is unfair I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Sorry Neil, but Chris Waddle still holds this flame in my eyes I'm with you on this. Waddle is the most skilful ever for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) None of those could single handedly change the tempo and outcome of a game through sheer will alone like Paolo. What waddle did vs West Ham, Paolo did regularly and every time he felt like it Waddle destroyed teams every week for a full season with us Edited January 26, 2015 by archieswfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as shez, carbone, palmer etc. Wish we had a few players of this calibre now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
