macphisto Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I didn't think he was anything special, looking back his career was very similar to Lee Sharpe's, both burst on the scence at Man U and then went rapidly down hill. Compare their careers to Giggs, just no comparison and they all came on the scene at roughly the same time and were all similar players. Actually I've often thought what would have happened if Keegan had of asked for Beckham, Scholes, Gary Neville and even at the time Nicky Butt when we sold Andy Cole to Man U! It would be inteteresting to know if he would have included any of them in the deal. I think I read in Fergie's book that he couldn't belive his luck when Keegan asked for Gillespie!

I think Ferguson more than likely would have told him to fuck off. Tbf Gillespie did look class against us in the cup I think it was. He was also an integral part of the team during Keegan's reign.

Gillespie ran with the ball, cut inside and fired low to the keeper's right hand side. Also, may have been our very first defeat of the new season iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Never really gave him much credit back then. I guess he was just there and did his job most of the time. I can remember watching that goal he scored past Rovers and Tim Flowers on a loop though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
