I can’t really remember it happening much prior to the advent of the Internet forum. I hear loads giving dog’s abuse to our players home and away now - it’s seems that there is more abuse than singing at times. Am I correct or just viewing the past through rose-tinted glasses. The wonderful Gerry Young got a lot of stick from the crowd in his early days. Then Harry Catterick moved him from striker to wing half (defensive midfielder) He was a revelationn, loved by the fans and stayed in the team for years and years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he gave 100% and never hid. Not his fault the manager picked him Years ago, i went to night match away at Middlesboro, think we lost 1-0... it was brutal and Chris Morris had an absolute shocker, nowt went right for him. The following night i was at a party in Dronfield and Chris Morris was there, i was a bit star struck as i was only around 20 i think . i went to say hello and shake his hand and he seemed a real nice bloke, Said that he was one of the best players at Middlesboro the previous night and the manager loved him!! Nearly choked on my cocktail sausage. When i told him i was actually at the match he looked a little red to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not aimed at you mate, just a general observation. No worries. And I respectfully disagree. I do feel it has made it worse. I realize a lot of messed up poo was already going down before the 'net arrived. Now it seems there is even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he gave 100% and never hid. Not his fault the manager picked him Not sure he was "absolutely shocking". You've substantiated the point of this thread even more. He was a decent squad player (at least) in a Wednesday side that was promoted to the top flight and then finished 8th and 5th respectively in the top flight before he left in 87. He was only 20 when he made his debut and was versatile to play right wing, right back, left back and 3rd centre half in a back 3/5 The abuse he received was totally disproportionate to overall level of performance. He left us to play for Celtic when the Scottish league was at least remotely decent, then went on to play in the top flight again for Middlesbro not to mention being an important part of the ROI that qualified for the Euros in 88 and World Cup in 90.
