Imagine being a Newcastle fan at that time and seeing Beardsley, Waddle and Gascoigne all get sold.

 

What a team they could have had in the late 80s/early 90s

Was chatting to Peter Eustace a couple of weeks ago - and it was nice for me that he remembered my Grandad..

Next time you see him apologise for a fellow Wednesday fan for pisssing in his rose bushes when he lived up at Hollow Meadows.

My revenge for him being tactically inept as a manager.

 

Thanks

Funnily enough he was saying he's now a very keen gardener

 

But never quite managed to replicate his amazing rose bushes from Hollow Meadows

Agree mate,it was a sentimental appointment and they hardly ever work. That said a classy and elegant footballer.

So we could and should have had Peter Beardsley. We had Jamie Vardy but let him go cause he was also considered too small. Should have signed Eric Cantona but we hadn't seen him play on grass so peed him off. 

I just wonder how many other world beaters weve let slip through our fingers over the years?

Look on the bright side nobody stole Dave from us, mwahhhh

Vardy wasn’t released because he was too small. Look how long it took him to work his way to the top - his head wasn’t right at that age, took him a while to figure it out.

 

We are well capable of shooting ourselves in the foot without inventing extra fuckups

If I remember right, we were rumoured to be interested in Beardsley in the early 80's during the Big Jack era.

I think it was during his first spell with Vancouver White Caps (or maybe during his Old Trafford days)

 

Can anyone verify ?

Named after Grandads Grandad

 

FACT

Weren't we offered Marcelo Salas when he was really young? Sure i've heard that somewhere

 

Defo heard the Stam link, think he was 19 and we said he was unproven

 

BUT ... if we'd have had these players, or kept them .. you know full well they'd have flopped and left us for better pastures anyway!

 

Its the Wednesday way! lol
