The Night-Owl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 A great player. I remember seeing some of his goals for Marseilles before he joined us and thinking to myself what a top player he was. And then not long later we signed him. You can't believe how buzzed I was, what an incredible signing it was at the time. In today's game it would be the equivalent of us signing Bale when he's in his 30s. Waddle was a brilliant player, unselfish; skilful and he had a great eye for a pass. Having Sheridan and Waddle in the same team was a dream to watch and it must have been any strikers dream come true whilst they were both in the team. He was quite a character too. The likes of Waddle; Sheridan, Hirst, Palmer, Harkes, Nilsson and Pressman bring back fond memories of when I was growing up and we were one of the top teams in the top flight playing some incredible football to watch. Those were the days but it also shows how competitive and tough football was back then, that we don't have much to show for having that brilliant team and some top players.

WatfordOwl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Still can't believe we picked him up for £1m. What an absolute steal that was even 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dukeries Owl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 That 5-0 game against West Ham at Hillsborough though, any player in the world past or present would have been delighted with that performance. David Burrows was playing left back for West Ham that night and when he finally hacked down Waddle in sheer frustation near the end of the game, the referee was smiling at Burrows as he gave him him the yellow card as if to say "I don't blame you lad I'd have kicked him up in the air as well" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ref had done that, it would have ironically been the opposite of the comical Di Canio incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 What a guy, my hero when I was a nipper. So well thought of by all players and fans from that era, loved by Geordies, Spurs, Marseille and Wednesday fans. How many other players can say that about 4 different clubs?
