It would be a race to which player after being tackled could role the entire length of the pitch holding their face 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Wasn’t fortunate to be alive during this era but heard there were some fantastic characters even if not great football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Loved him. I remember seeing him being interviewed on Grandstand on the day of our promotion, he was so softly spoken for such a fearless warrior and he had a lovely warm smile. A bit like one of those ruthless gangsters that smiles warmly at his victims before bumping them off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't have stood for it. Should bring him back to give talk on commitment overcoming other aspects of a what makes a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often did that happen? I don't think we have had anybody who could head a ball like lee chapman, we've really missed a player like him over the years.

The thing is, I dont remember him being dirty like Souness or Vinny Jones, just as hard as granite. During that promotion season, there seemed to be a picture of him with his face covered in blood after nearly every match. Alongside Hirsty as my favourite ever player.

He wasn't a dirty player nut just gave 100% when he pulled on the shirt, unfortunately some of our current players don't give a s**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Back then having Lyons as captain and Tony Tom's as trainer meant every single player had no choice but to give 110%. And it showed on the pitch. Just imagine those two turning upto training at Middlewood Rd now. Our players would shyte themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan1966 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Remember him getting sent off at Wolves for smashing Burridge as revenge for Burridge doing the same to John Pearson. Game when Bannister missed two penalties and we lost 1-0. Great night topped off when train broke down on way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
