np pontefract Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Truly a wonderful player. A joy to watch. He made top class defenders look like schoolboys. At his best, the only way to stop him was to foul him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willow Owl Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Best player i have seen at Hillsborough, and been going since mid seventies. A million quid was an absolute steal. Legend status, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 One of the last players to prove you don't need to be quick to play football, had the first 2 yards in his head, would beat defenders once then go back and do it again to play with their heads. Always remember the West ham game - I think David Burrows was having nightmares for weeks/month to come after that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I particularly enjoyed the argument Waddle and Palmer were having about CW reversing into CP's car on the 93/94 season review video (I think). Carlton was proper angrymad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tag legend is bandied about all to readily but in his case (and many of his team mates in that Wednesday side) it is truly merited, absolute genius with a football at his feet. Thanks for the memories Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do that ... ... but Alas! He never played in the same Sunday Youth league as me. Just accept it as FACT that I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I can't remember the attendances at that time but I know some games were very thin. I went to some games I wouldn't normally have bothered with just to see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 As someone said above, legend is a word used too lightly these days, but Im pretty sure if I google the word legend I will see a photo of Chris Waddle in a blue and white striped shirt.

Lord Snooty Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 8 hours ago, the monk said: We need to start looking forward That's just what Redknapp said to Burrows at half time. To no avail. The lad didnt know his arris from his elbow at that stage as the maestro into had dragged him into a nightmarish vertigo with his shoulder drop and step over.
