Ian Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Surprised Peter Shirtliff hasn’t had a mention yet......used to go straight through the back of his man as early as possible in every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycraig Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Got to be Norman Curtis, used to take the man, the ball, the linesman, basically everything in his way. When we had a penalty, another player would place the ball and Norman would start his run from about the halfway line before smashing the ball past the terrified goalie. Proper hard was our Norman. Don't make em like that anymore. Mind you, he wouldn't last long with today's referees, early bath every match! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Kay was one of those sly sods similar in dirtiness to Bremner. Norman Curtis was a full on Dave Mckay. I'll give it Curtis on his pens he really did crack them.

A very under rated player for us, he came the last season before relegation and his style of play made it look like he was not trying but scored some vital goals and generated so much power from his shots.

Guest Grandad Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 My Grandad ended up sat next to Brian Clough in the old stand at Millmoor for a night game many many years ago (late 1950s) and he predicted then that Peter Swan would play for England - said he was the best player in football who could kick the ball and the man both as hard as each other - at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 In my time watching Graham Pugh and Ken Knighton. Their modus operandi seemed to be if it moves kick it, if it doesn't move kick it anyway! Ball or man, made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
