Guest Coyt Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I was sorting through some old stuff the other day and found some old SWFC programmes and posters and I was looking through the players and saw Marc Degryse. Was this guy any good? I was 7 years old when he was at the club and i don't remember much about him. Just one for the "slightly" older than me fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He was a fine player. Intelligent, with good technical ability. Still disappointed to this day that he left us after only one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierboyblue Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He was a class act but just couldn't settle in the area hence why he moved, but he could have set the league alight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 A class player, that managed to score goals and look quality in a sinking side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Good player in a poor side. think everyone was disappointed he left. played off a front man and was very skilful and could finish - not much pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almat Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Was this the bloke with the dogs he couldn't leave home alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He had guile and awareness. Vision and a eye for a pass. Included that rarest of passes these days, the sliderule thru ball! Great first touch, excellent in possession, good with both feet and a knack of getting himself in shooting positions. I'm many ways he was a modern day player playing before his time. He'd have loved a modern 4-2-3-1 Sadly we only ever got to see him in that one season, with that dreadful kit witht the "yellow piping" on . A lovely player who I was frustrated moved away too soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Reminded me of a cut price Bergkamp, great technical ability and awareness in a poor side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coyt Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Cheers for the info chaps. Sounds like a decent player then, did the club pay much for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Not just decent he was better than waddle class! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzy85 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Waddle with two class assists. Degryse was just awesome, some lovely skill and touches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 a technically gifted player; reminded me of a better Paul Williams. A typical Pleat player but the rest of the team where either ageing or we had fetched in some questionable signings and were, on the whole, on a downward transition. I think he suffered from this and he just disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 As I recall, for a short spell, he was a regular scorer for us. Can't remember much more tbh other than if we scored, he was likely to be on the scoresheet. But my memory is fading fast with the onslaught of old age. Can hardly remember our Premiership title win from 1995 now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Our best forward player in an utterly uninspiring side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
