paulrs Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Agree on Woods. His legacy will always be the cup final and a couple of bad errors against the pigs but in the main he was superb. Also Graham Hyde, terrific little player. Surprised me his career never amounted to much And Viv Anderson. When people dismiss the idea of signing 30+ yo players based on their age I usually think of Viv… must’ve been 32/33 when we signed him and what a job he did for us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Another vote for Lawrie Madden. Not the most inspiring signing but did a great job when called on for 8 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 1 hour ago, SiJ said: Yep. Could guarantee you would disagree with that. I thought he was a better player than people gave him credit for. Our best run of the season in 2017 occurred with him in the team at the time. He was one of the few players who could play a defensive midfield role in a two. He was also one of the few players in the team with promotions to his name (I believe 3 in total). Compared to Abdi, he was the signing of the century. Fully agree with this. Thought we was excellent in that period at the end of 16/17. Ran the show against Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panda800 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Going to add Steve mcall to the list was pretty reliable for us but didn't play a lot of games Edited May 25, 2022 by panda800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOFABI Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Ola Tidman Nah I'm kidding Cameron Dawson and Liam Palmer spring to mind, I look forward to see how Dawson does now hes back, I think he did very well at first then struggled. far as Palmer, I truly have no idea what the problem is or has ever been, I think hes one of our best players currently. Ola Tidman was arsegravy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Pembridge and Magilton who also were highly unloved and underrated. I seem to remember that Ingersson was well liked. Pembridge and Magilton had a decent game game once every so often.

Agree, when we first got him, I was disappointed that we had signed an aging player looking for a final payout. For me one of the best players to pull on a Wednesday shirt, magnificent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2 OWLS Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Agree Lawrie Madden totally would come in do a job get dropped no moaning just got on with the job in hand also a nice bloke Got to mention Chris Woods ?? Remember Billy Big B******s before away match at Lane cannot remember year I think the quote went " I have played in a Glasgow Derby nothing will phase me " totally bottled it in the game. Then of course caught the Arsenal header at Wembley then throw it in net......come on !! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
