@owlstalk Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Remember Chris Bart Williams ? Known to the young un's as 'Bartman' Was he the most overrated player we've ever had ? Slow, mardy and overrated ? Or was it that the team we had at the time could cope with his underperformance given that those around him could carry him?Or was he a class player? Did he fulfil his potential?Was he one of your favourite players or did he annoy you? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Loved him. Was gutted when he left. Also felt Forest wasted him a bit by turning him into a more defensive mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Did the team of this era sleep with your mum or something? You've been all over them of late. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Were you a Bartman fan then?I'm so sorry Brick. I seem to have gotten confused. I could have sworn this was one of Neil's threads, hence my comment about his recent bashing of this era.Guess I had my own Brick moment there. For what it is worth, I thought he was good and was gutted when he left. But I was only a kid so I may have been just buying the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I liked Bartman, I liked most of the players of that generation, probably cos it's around the time I started going to Hillsborough & we were good! Beating Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool at home was no big deal & I considered Chelsea a guaranteed 3 points at home. I never took to the players that followed people like Bartman though, just didn't take a shine to players like Petter Rudi or Mark Pembridge.

Tracksuit Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What about Robbie Mustoe? Didn't like him either.... Or Jim Magilton, who do you think was the signing that showed we weren't really a club looking to challenge for trophies any more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Fave player as a kid, oozed class. Never fulfilled his potential though, remember him playing for England B a few times, that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Didn't we sign him on a Friday and he made his debut the next day? Not bad for a 17 year old from the third division as it were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracksuit Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Peter Atherton hard to tell but the day we signed Besetheswick was the day we gave up being a football club..... I couldn't understand how a lad who couldn't get in the Coventry team got in our first 11 & was eventually made captain. It was hardly a statement of intent signing after losing Pearson, Anderson & Warhurst, I know we signed Walker but think he deserved a bit more help than either Atherton or Pearce. As for the noughties I've just tried to erase them from my memory. Rubbish football, rubbish players, rubbish kits, rubbish managers & rubbish directors.
