cross owl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Could trap a ball with his chest . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 He got a calf injury and played the rest of that game with one sock rolled down, think he scored and we won. So he rolled down the same sock in every game for the rest of that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Annoyed the Toytowners when he signed for us so that's a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Good player, did a good job for us. Was sad to see him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I liked him. His form was a little up and down, but on his day he had a lot of class. Lots of memories, but the strongest one I have of him was from before he was with us when he was at Brentford. We played them at their place and despite being 3-1 up with 10 minutes to go they scored two late goals and we drew 3-3. He was fantastic that day for them. They seemed to be able to knock anything into him and he'd make it stick. Incredible really for a player that was fairly short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Was okay not great , not bad . We were skint during his time here , yet he’s still better than what we currently have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Thought he was half decent for the team we could assemble back then Him and tudgay was decent buys I'd sooner see a prime tudgay come on than the sorry excuse of strikers weve had on the bench last 3 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We've been starved of effective strike partnerships over the years but him and Tudgay were one of the most effective partnerships I can remember, certainly since the early 90's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Again really liked his link up play with Tudgay, though that was a good partnership too, didn’t really look that good when he played with anyone else would swap Nuhiu for that version of him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Spiksley Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Liked his song. Loved his goal celebrations in front of fans. Edited February 25, 2020 by F. Spiksley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Kept the play off dream alive under Laws when he scored the winner in a 1-0 away win at WBA. Unfortunately it was short lived as we ended up with Chris Adamson in goal for the run in after Iain Turner was ruled out / recalled (can’t remember which) and we lost away at Birmingham.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Don't remember that much about him I spent much of that period getting pisssed before games, so the game itself was a blur Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Guest wilyfox Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I rated Burton. Like Hooper, not the biggest but the ball stuck when played up to him. Led the line well. At a time when our better attackers MacLean & McGovern were injured, Burton & Tudgay came in and gave us poke up top. Paired well, and were very good in the air for their size. Tudgay had a tremendous leap on him. Edited February 25, 2020 by wilyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Good player was Burton. Technically very decent. A clever player who could bring others into play. Good for a goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I liked him a lot, and would have him in the team now tbh. One of those players who was a bugger to play against and wanted on your team. Could ping it up to him and he'd keep it, despite not being very tall. Could draw a foul, and had fire in his belly. I'd have Jermaine Johnson at his peak and all. Value for money we got a lot better back then than a fair few recently. Majid Bougherra, Chris Brunt, Glenn Whelan, Lee Grant, Frankie Simek etc etc. Not world beaters but excellent value for what we paid in total.
