Bearwood Owl1 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Mackenzie and McCall. Unsung heroes of the 1990-1 team? My favourite memories are an offside and overweight Mackenzie scoring against Barnsley in front of the Kop and Hirsty shouting "fvckin hell Macca" after another misplaced pass in a 1-0 win away at Hull. Glory days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyPowers55 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Big Macs goal and McCalls volley against Newcastle were two of the memorable goals of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podski1 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I always remember McCall running (crawling) through on goal in the quarter final of the Rumbelows Cup at Coventry - 1on1 he put it wide. Didn't seem p**sed off - he just looked happy to not have had a heart attack!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Steve Mackenzie is a hero purely by the fact he presented me with my York County u12's leading scorer trophy... a long time ago!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Shezza Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Mackenzie had had his day when he played for us. Sorry. He may have been decent but didn't do much for us. :madine: :Hirsty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fedor Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Both bit part players really. We used to call Mcall fed up face as he always looked miserable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwood Owl1 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was of course slighlty taking the wee wee with the original post - yes they were bit part players but good ones - particularly McCall - I'd forgotten the Newcastle goal (off to see what I can find of that on youtube...)

Bearwood Owl1 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 McCall sets up the goal in Hull game I mentioned. Maybe Hirsty was a bit harsh with the swearing at him I heard later in the game. I remember being a bit shocked as a young lad that my heroes might swear!

Guest mrbluesky Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Remember this game well few owls on the home end big Viv made a good debut, coming out was awful Hull had a bit of a rep and remember them jumping on away coaches and attacking fans.

Bearwood Owl1 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 We were side on rather than behind the goal. Stood right at the front - caught the ball for I think the only time in my life and heard Hirsty swear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJaCGJGbPLU&feature=related 11 minutes and an hour and 10 in two Steves at their finest!

ronior Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I always remember McCall running (crawling) through on goal in the quarter final of the Rumbelows Cup at Coventry - 1on1 he put it wide. Didn't seem p**sed off - he just looked happy to not have had a heart attack!! Haha! I remember that miss. Alan Parry on commentary seemed genuinely annoyed at the amount of chances we missed to kill the tie that night. He ripped McCall to shreds with, "That was the easiest of the lot." Steve Makenzie scored a backheader at Plymouth in that season's league campaign. Didn't he also score a belter for City in the "Ricky Villa" Cup Final? Great moustache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prendo's boots Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Haha Steve Makenzie and his superb 'Mickey Quinn' tasche !!! .... The last time I saw him was in the carpark by the owls shop and for some strange reason he was holding one of those 'trundle wheels' that clicked every time they went round used to measure distances....might have been seeing how far he could walk before he had to sit down 'out of puff' !!! remember his goal against Barnsley..... mass celebrations followed!!! .... Lets have some more of that soon !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Big Ron made some astute sigings. Steve Mckenzie being one. Maybe past his best, but in a long season we needed extra bodies and experience. His winner at Plymouth was enough to confirm his value that season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal against Spurs in the 81 cup replay was in my opinion better than Villas so called wonder goal which whilst a very good goal is somewhat overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Two good servants to the club in the short time that McCall was with us and the short time Mckenzie was available to play - I seem to remember that McKenzie signed for us and then got a significant injury soon after keeping out for about a year maybe 18! Month - his knee? Edited May 10, 2021 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
