Does that apply to all the players he played with at SWFC too then or just the one player you want to try and make a point against? 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game I watched at Hillsboro was the West Ham game when he spent 5-6 mins arguing with the linesman on the North stand side over a throw in, West Ham scored, while we were down to 10 men effectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The most technically gifted player I've seen at Hillsborough. Barking, but technically gifted nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
