Guest wilyfox Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Kanchelskis. Owen. Could name a few. Alan Shearer & Ian Wright always caused us problems too. Mark Hughes made us look soft at times as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best player on the pitch and hardly broke sweat This one for me too. Perfect performance by a legend and made it look so easy, simple movement and passing left us chasing shadows that game. Probably the best player I have seen live on that performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsie Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 1 hour ago, SallyCinnamon said: Genuinely Rhodes and Forestieiri. Rhodes scores 4 against us, he was absolutely lethal that day. Forestieri for Watford, I think they hammered us. Remember Bothroyd blazed one over from 5 yards out in added time and we all lost it with him. FF was incredible that night for Watford. Ironic how they both became Wednesday players. That's the game I was talking about. Bothroyd missed late. It was so poor that the whole kop (those that were still there) gave the biggest ironic cheer you've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Everton smashed us at Hillsborough in mid eighties. Think it was a night match. It was 4 or 5 nil from memory. Player, so many but Owen at full speed was unplayable running at defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Best team. Everton under Howard Kendall. Reid, Linekar, Sharp, Southall, Stevens, Steven, Mountfield, Sheedy etc etc... destroyed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Owen in the 3-3 draw Fulham under Keegan battered us.....also 3-3 Alan Knight had one outstanding game for Portsmouth against us Bryan Robson in the New Year’s Day game at Old Trafford that we won 2-1....first season I was old enough to appreciate the premiership and Robson’s intensity was something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage owl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Liverpool milk cup quarter final 1982 ?. Souness, Rush & Dalglish. Dalglish was awesome . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Yorks Owl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Michael Owen’s hatrick in the 3 - 3 draw versus Liverpool was awesome. I wouldn’t have wanted to be John Newsome that day. If he hadn’t had the problems with his hamstring he’d have broken loads of goal scoring records. The next one won’t be popular but I can’t remember feeling more battered after seeing us lose 7 -1 versus the title winning Leeds side. To make matters worst we had a very handy team ourselves, but couldn’t touch them that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Although it pains me to say it I have seen some ruthlessly efficient Leeds performances at Hillsborough.... the Gray brothers, Alan sneaky Clarke and Frank Elvis Worthington. i remember Worthington doing an incredible ball juggling routine in front of the North Stand before kick off. His football shorts looked like white satin hot pants and he was proper showing off... booting the ball twenty feet in the air, catching on the back of his neck , letting it roll down his spine and back flicking it up again. I tried it when I got home and gave myself mild concussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinwestzicoest Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Actually, not the one as he didn't score. He ripped us a new a-hole a few times anyway. He was frightening when in the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Said it on here before- Southall was regularly exceptional against us, but one that sticks in my mind was a 4th round cup tie on a Sunday lunchtime at Hillsborough. Think it was 1989. We battered them but lost 2-1 as Big Nev was sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodseats Owl Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 August 2003 v Oldham Athletic at home, a 38 year old John Sheridan, he was superb that day, ran the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Michael Owen Jurgen Klinsmann Paul Gascoigne Ian Rush John Barnes Stan Collymore Are the ones that spring to mind. Also i have a few random ones that stick in the memory for some reason ......Ian Crook for Norwich and Mark Draper for Leicester in the 80,s / 90,s both came to our patch and ran the game single handed, David Speedie also seemed to have a worldie everytime he played against us in that period. Going back to the 70,s Barnsley,s Ronnie Glavin always looked like Iniesta when he came to Hillsborough. And a certain one legged John Sheridan for Oldham, albeit at a time when we were beyond awful. Team wise the two merseyside teams from the 80,s take some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Sunderland when they went up under Keane battered us. It finished 4-2 but that flattered us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
