kobayashi Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Mel vs Arsenal in the late 87 or 88 season played fullback but led from the front. Carlton vs QPR and his 1st half hat trick just ran them ragged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Degryse was class against Leeds in a game where we trounced them 6-2 in the mid 90s. He scored a couple of goals; ran them ragged, did a sublime Cruyff-like turn in the build up to one of the other goals, set up or played a part in most of the goals too and stood out throughout.

Here’s the BBC analysis, about 6/7 minutes into the video Trevor Brooking and Alan Hansen really nail Waddle’s performance. Good point. Waddle was phenomenal in the 93 FA Cup Semi Final. He was everywhere. He was sublime and could have had an hat trick, and almost stopped their goal going in too. Waddle and Sheridan were pure class, orchestrating everything. When they were both on song, we looked top class. It was brilliant watching Waddle and Sheridan in the same team, that was without a doubt my favourite ever time watching Wednesday in my lifetime.

Holmowl Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Waddle wins hands-down. Big mention to Roland Nilsson in the Rumbelows final. In recent times Gary Hooper’s complete domination of Cardiff in the 3-0 home win that secured a play-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Waddle easily. However one that will be missed will be Gerald Sibon's last ever Wednesday game at home to Reading. He knew he was going the side we had was awful and we were 2-0 down.... but on his own basically he dragged us back and we won 3-2. Brilliant from a underrated player.

He wasn't underrated, he was just very lazy. When he decided to play he could be very good, unfortunately more often than not he couldn't be Ar5ed.

Was it laziness or was it the fact that the players he was playing with were league two standard and didn't get him ? To be fair he probably did have an element of laziness to him but it must be hard not to when playing for managers like Shreeves and Yorath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They totally worked out Wednesday’s offside trap and just waltzed through time after time and each time Hodge just saved the one-on-one....after about the 5th occasion it stopped being worrying and became entertaining especially as despite being totally outplayed Wednesday actually won 2-1. This came to mind for me too when I saw the thread title, Hodge was immense that day and there was talk of an England call up after the game although sadly he never quite made it. I remember Franz Carr ripping us apart down the wing and laying on chances time and time again, no idea how we managed to win it. I also remember the day Mel Sterland made the transition from ordinary full back to Zico. Must have been around 1982, and I think it was against Grimsby. In the second half he suddenly went berserk and just started making these marauding runs down the wing with defenders just bouncing off him, and he was like that for the rest of his career.

SallyCinnamon Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Forestieri at home to Birmingham a few years back. Second half he just turned it on and was absolutely unplayable. Rodri debut against Birmingham. Stands out thought he was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Madden Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think Westwood in the play-off final was sensational took a Worldie to beat him would have been about 6 or 7 without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting slagged off by all and sundry but it seemed to me that he was seeing things that others couldn't; putting the ball in areas where something might come of it whilst they just wanted a dumb, easy pass to feet or aimless lump upfield. Shame he didn't seem all that bothered much of the time, but he certainly produced some sublime moments well beyond the capabilities of most of his team mates.

matthefish2002 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The Waddle one v West Ham springs to mind but I remember Pressman v Sheffield United at Hillsborough in 2002. We won the game 2-0 but in reality we rode our luck that day(which in some ways made the result even more enjoyable as the Pigs were fuming.
