Harrysgame Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 1 hour ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: I've seen this referenced on here over the years, but where did it come from? Think at the time some thought beavers was worth 6m on his own, believed his own hype and went downhill faster than Bolton's bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkastav Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Good lad Tommy always gave it all. Back post marking was woeful but had a good career anyhow. Good luck to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Well done on your career Tommy. A top pro and a good player. Was awesome for us when first broke onto the scene scoring some crackers. Will never forget that one against the Blades either. Got some unfair stick towards the end of his Wednesday career, unjustified for me. He was playing in a crap side with problems behind the scenes. Confidence was at an all time low. Cried his eyes out on the pitch when we got relegated by Palace. It hurt him like it did any other fan. Same can’t be said for a lot of his teammates that day. Wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get some unfair stick, at times he was trying to hold that defence together on his own, he ran his gonads off and I still believe he made himself look worse than he was by trying to hard. Will always remember him with affection........good luck Tommy in whatever you do next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tend to remember those two goals but not so much the screamer that he scored against PL Fulham in the FA Cup as well. Maybe because we lost the game 2-1 but it was a belter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rarely awesome, as some have said, his back-post defending left a lot to be desired but as you say, he could be faulted for effort and at times he did seem to get more stick than many more established players in our squad. We used to sit on the Kop and watch our typical pattern of play that led towards us being relegated in 2010 - when we didn't go long Grant would roll it out to Spurr, our 'playmaker' (ahem), Potter would drop deep to pick the ball up from Spurr, giving the impression he was about to dictate the play, after looking up, he would decide there was no pass on and with the opposition now pressing us Potter would give it back to Spurr and shuffle off leaving the left-back with no option but to play a usually fruitless ball up the line.

Kopparberg Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 He’s a good lad. Seem to remember he played CB for Preston when they beat us about 2 seasons ago... which was a bit annoying. Had a decent career really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thought he was very underrated when with us. Was my lads first favourite player so will always hold him in high regards. All the best Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
