It would be kind to call him a flop. He was not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLERTON GHOST Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'll never forget that summers afternoon .. I nudged the disinterested son from his phone as we sat in the South Stand watching the Cantilever Stand Creak ... O/G..."Here he is lad...George Boyd" "Covered more yardage than any other footballer across all four top divisions last season" .. "Our very own Running Man".. O/G's Lad.... "Who ... you mean him with an årse as big a Kim Kardashian?.. O/G.. "Never mind that he'll be a bit ring rusty he's gonna be a great asset"....... Ten minutes in Boyds blowing heavily from his Kardashian ... as the little south American Rangers number 7 rips him a new one repeatedly... O/G .... "worry ye not lad Rangers ain't got a chance ... Too reliant on a 40 year old washed up midfielder and Fatty Windass's son .... Wednesday 0 Rangers 2 O/G.. "Lets nip down the car park son Have you ever seen a Mercedes Gull wing"?....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Concrete Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 7 hours ago, Sensible Soccer said: A player that epitomises our problems at the time. he was a player I always hated us playing against. Always played well, high energy and drove the opposites forward. we signed what was a high energy player whose legs had gone. We were his final payday and looked liked he ran in treacle. not quite as bad a signing as Abdi… but not a million miles off. Agreed, always remember whenever we played against him and Craig Mackail Smith for Peterborough the pair of them would be stand out performers. Shame we got him later on his career, im sure he was a regular starter in Burnleys team the season before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGaffer Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Could have sworn he had a Mercedes Benz 300SL Gull Wing. One of the most beautiful cars ever made, just behind the jag e-type imo.

That season was absolutely crazy for injuries, can’t just have been bad luck. Personally I think it was a combination of a lot of things. Bad luck played a part to a point in terms of the amount of players out for so long, Carlos clearly over played a lot of them, Lee, Westwood, Lees being a few examples. Some were contact injures which just happen, again bit of bad luck with the amount and timings. Hooper and van Aken at Forest spring to mind. Think Boyd's from memory was a bit of a freak training incident, I remember Carlos being a bit bemused about it in a post match interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxing_day Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 When he signed he was one of the fittest players in the premier league (distance covered per game). I remember he was very critical of the lack of fitness work we did in the media and looked like he couldn’t run. That season was an absolute disaster from start to finish.

All owned by George Boyd whilst he played for us . You ought to see the players car park and see what 3rd division footballers are driving.

Most professional footballers are vastly overpaid ,and for a few years we vastly overpaid extremely average players who were past their sell by date. If you really don’t like it follow another sport preferably an amateur one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
