Mr Farrell Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Positive memories by far outweigh the negative ones. A great shame the cup final story taints his time with us. In my top 100 players for us, even if it was a shorter spell than it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynecoyne14 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 recall after he signed from oldham as a right back wasn't long before he was surging upfield and the crowd's roar built the further he went very talented player wasted in midfield which blackburn decided was his best position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatfordOwl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Lot of good memories of Warhurst, goal against Blackburn away in the League Cup when we won 4-2 and the infamous guy on crutches in the crowd. Quick, Powerful and could hit a ball.....bit wayward sometimes mind. It would have been amazing to have seen him play for England if he hadn't got injured at the time and such a shame that he fell out with Francis who wanted him to revert back to defence because we had Hirst back from injury.

Guest Rob Jackson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Didn't he come back to Hillsborough playing for Chesterfield in our previous League One shed tour? I seem to recall he got sent off and had an appauling game? think it was dingles away in the champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Jackson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Barnsley His next port of call was to link up with fellow Second Division side Barnsley. He made his club debut in the Yorkshire derby against his former club Sheffield Wednesday. In a 1-1 draw, Warhurst was sent off against the club where he arguably made a name for himself. Following the completion of three other league games, Barnsley also opted to release the veteran player from his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Although his goal scoring exploits in that one season were pretty remarkable, especially from a career defender, it should be tempered slightly that only 6 came in the league. Many of them came against lower level sides such as Spora Luxembourg, Derby and Southend. He was an excellent player in all three positions we used him, but unfortunately he thought a little too much of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincolnowl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The fact Hirst had 5, Warhurst 9 shows how Francis was bottling the situation. Awful manager IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigblue Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That horrific moment when he swallowed his tongue against Spora. Very scary, and good job we had Mr Fast as the physio. Warhurst was truly amazing that season. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I wonder if, looking back, he regrets some of the decisions he made towards the end of his time with us. That game against Blackburn in the semi-final... One of the most exciting displays from the whole team, but in particular Warhurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bald Owl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 How he helped Oldham be 2-0 up against us at half time in the old Div 2, burstinf runs from centre half. Sheridan equalised with 2 pens, Hirst missed about 47 sitters and Wilson could've won it in the 90th minute with a spazzy scissor volley that went into the side netting. Couldn't remember that until you mentioned the spazzy volley, then it all came flooding back. Ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
