aussieowl87 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 just watched the aforementioned video. been hiding in my room for ages, so decided to relive some glory years. was wondering where the goalscoring touch has gone to? the video covers 91-2 to 96-7 we had fullbacks placing shots through a crowd of players to score, centre-halfs belting in volleys, midfielders pushing double-figures [let alone centre forwards]. i know some of you will say "we had quality players back then" but they were against quality opposition. technique? confidence? other? and if you fancy posting "the players we have now are poo and gutless" then no worries. maybe recall a goal from that time to give this a positive spin. i also recommend showing the players hirst scoring vs arsenal with a broken ankle to epitomise what courage means to our current bunch. [and on a personal note, humphrey's chip vs leicester was epic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aphextwins Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I know what you mean. I watched a few old video's of us lot a while back (It's a kind of magic) and we used to play some really good football. It'll be back one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinners Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Harke's against Derby at home in the 90's. Picked it up from the half way line and smashed it in. Everytime he got the ball from that moment on everyone just shouted 'HIT IT' Quality!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly wear my SWFC premier league badge to work, people's reaction shows we have long since been forgotten. Our impending relegation back to the 3rd tier is so far away from the glory days, pub football again I'm afraid. Negative I know, but I see very little hope on the horizon.

aussieowl87 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 carlton palmer did a multi ********-load more than run about screening sheridan too. for a "jo'c"-role midfielder he certainly popped up in the 18 yard box a lot more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Palmer - first one helping out defenders when they need it, and first one supporting attack when opportunity came... One of those players you don't seem to realize how important they are until they are gone... Couldn't trap the ball to save his life - so what ?!
