jamiejohn Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Liam brady probably the best player in English football at the time owen unbelievable how good he was at that age would have broken England goalscoring record by a mile but for injuries gazza the best player I've ever seen live a genius who played the game like a school kid if he had a brain could have been the best player ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millo Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 21 hours ago, Musn't Grumble said: Tony Coleman in the Manchester City relegation match in 1970. A packed crowd against an indifferent Man City squad until Coleman got involved and he not only beat us single handedly that soaking wet night but he also sent us into the doldrums for the next decade and a half. Never have so many been destroyed by so few, etc. Looks like your memory is playing tricks on you. I think you will find that Tony Coleman played for Wednesday that night and actually scored our goal. It was Bowyer who came off the bench for City to score both their goals.

I remember the Oldham game when Sheridan bossed the game without leaving the centre circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Remember us playing QPR when Peter crouch was there around 2000/01. Scored a hatrick against us. We just couldn't handle him. Likewise Jordan Rhodes for Huddersfield. Ashley Westwood caused us alot of problems every time he played for us.

Captain30 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Don Givens for Luton in a 1-5 win. Malcolm McDonald got a hattrick and Givens made all for him and scored the other two Duncan McKenzie for Forest same period in the early 70s - looked a cross between Pele and Best Brian McCLair for Man Utd - Game changer in two matches.

Groundhopping Owl Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Lewis Grabban tore us to shreds for Bournemouth a few years ago just before Christmas when SG was in charge, think he was still caretaker at the time. Jota was a class above for Brentford the season after, the sandpit of a pitch meant that we managed to beat them 1-0 but he was miles better than anybody else on the pitch.

Funny you'd should mention Don Givens on OT.He's a absolute legend in the way he'd sent the Snortbeasts crashing into Div 4 in 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyoujust Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Owen - as mentioned he was electric at that age Gary Lineker for Everton - 3 touches and a hat trick neville Southall - his save from varadi was unbelievable .

wednesdaylander Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Neville Southall - always had a blinder against us for Everton. Uwe Rosler - remember him destroying us late 80s for Man City. Ilie Dumitrescu - best player on the pitch in the game when Klinsmann got the glory. The only player I've ever seen apart from Waddle to completely dictate a game.

Unplayable. Another one that is clear was away at West ham. John Hartson bagged a hatrick. He was immense. Think we lost 5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicowl Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ruud Gullit - For me this was the real start of the Premier League becoming a force in world football. I'd seen big name players like Ian Wright and John Barnes before but here was a genuine megastar fifty yards away from me playing against my team. He was so effortless in that game, he probably didn't even need to shower afterwards. Genuine class. Stan Collymore and Bryan Roy - The 1-7 game. Absolutely put us to the sword. The game was over after about fifteen minutes. It was a matter of keeping them under double figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
