Opposition players who gave you the fear when they came to Hillsborough


Recommended Posts

Alan Simonsen for Charlton in about 82. He was a former European footballer of the year and somehow Charlton managed to sign him while in the 2nd tier. Absolutely ripped us to shreds in the 1st half but we ended up winning 5-4 after being 4-1 down.

Only stopped at Charlton for a dozen or so matches but was a brilliant player..

Few players from times gone by when I saw their name and thought we're fooked today if they're on it 

 

80's - Ian Rush / Graeme Sharp

 

90's - Jurgen Klinsmann / Stan Collymore

 

00's - Steve Howard / Kevin Doyle / David Friio

 

10's - Anthony Knockaert / Yann Kermogant

 

20's - Anyone who is over 6'0'' and half decent in the air from attacking set pieces

On the day I think we beat Everton 5-1 93/94 season but the performance and power of Duncan Ferguson was awesome. Everton were the one trick pony that day, it didn't work but Ferguson sweated blood for the cause. I would have taken him in a heart beat as part of a more varied strategy. Can't remember who their manager was at the time.

Weirdly Canovilles dad lived in Sheffield at the time if that game.

It would not surprise me if he only played against  us once so short was his career.

 

 

 

 

Paul Canoville played 79 times for Chelsea including 7 times against Wednesday

Peter crouch always seemed to score against us

 

I hated Mickey Thomas, but that might have come from my dad saying he was dirty

 

 Graeme sharp was the start of all the broken hearts Wednesday have caused me

 

Ian Wright I hated him, but liked him ever since Hirstys testimonial

 

Kevin Phillips as said above several times

 

Schemical (sp) hated facing this brick wall
