[the coming of gary]

(as a companion to the other thread)

Mark Chamberlain - Port Vale and Stoke

Beat John Barnes to the England team and was the better player for at least two years

Kenny Burns is a good example because Clough, apart from paying out record sums for the likes of Shilton and Francis, was also able to pick up lesser rated players and get regular 100% performances from them.

Conversely players who starred for Clough like Webb and Davenport’ never hit the regular heights of their Forest days when sold on.

Clough was a master at getting a team to play at a level above the sum of its constituent parts, the opposite of the likes of Ruben Amorim for example.

John McGovern is another good example, Cloughie took him everywhere it seems

Kenny BURNS

Denis Irwin ManU left back, a cracking player but overshadowed by the big name players in the squad.

Yep, I'd say he's the best all round PL fullback I've seen outside of Ashley Cole. Never put a foot wrong defensively, never gave the ball away, 2 footed. Top drawer player.

I must have watched a different player, Vinnie Jones is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen live.

And I've watched a season of Radoslav Kovac.

Vinnie Jones. When he wasn't deliberately being a thug on the pitch he had a great clean tackle that kept the ball at his feet and a really wide range of passing, like Carrick. But he loved kicking and threatening people and the media loved that as well so it overshadowed the skill he had.

I didn't like those wimbledon teams but you couldn't help notice how fit they were. I watched an interview with bassett a year or so ago, and he brought up how their superior fitness and attitude compensated for technical deficiencies. that was a decent leeds team vinnie was in

Neil Shipperley was later charged with wanking in a vehicle while watching a young girl wasn’t he?
Very South London

A player I always admired was Willie Carr. Always full of running off the ball.

[zico]

Great shouts on Irwin and Cahill.  Carrick and Solskjaer were in that mould.  Solskjaer would have been a regular started for most other clubs, a cracking finisher and Carrick was never in the England question as they always just tried to shoehorn in Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard and Beckham.

Neil Shippley at Palace - always thought he was worth a call up

That fat cսnt? *Guffaw*

[Mex Martillo]

Bailey at Villa.

[Iron Duke]

Steed Malbranque when he was at Fulham.

Tim Cahill - He would've been perfect for us. I always wished we had made Millwall an offer they couldn't refuse. He was quality. A bit spiky but great if he's on your side.

[Massive Attack]

Denis Irwin ManU left back, a cracking player but overshadowed by the big name players in the squad.

Great shout.

[RBshorty]

Gary Mabbutt.

Coventry fans won’t have a word against him.!

[dealcanvey]

Mguinn, Watkins, Mctominay, Maguire.

Just a few names have seen on here where people turned their nose up at the thought of them playing for us.

Bonkers!

brian mcclair, I'm sure he played in the memorial game after bobby died. I thought he was a massive part of those early glory years for ferguson 

for us? martin allen. never gave less than 100%, admittedly could be reckless and get in bother, but always had a goal threat along with his tireless work rate. loved him
