Cowans was an excellent player in his day,Col.Unfortunately when Turnip selected him,it was well past his day and to make matters worse,he selected him to replace Paul Gascoigne,when Gazza was fully fit.
Did everyone want Kevin Davies?
Remember the Turnip Taylor days: Lee Sharpe @ left back. Carlton Palmer. NOT QUALIFYING
Aye...Geoff Thomas,Andy Sinton,Gordon Cowans et al.
A big fat No from me.
When we were clearly on the slippery slope downwards,he was off like a shot.
