AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 His main crime was being a crap footballer. I still think it's a bit weird though, surely even someone who's 3rd or 4th choice in the PL should walk League One. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's a bit weird though, surely even someone who's 3rd or 4th choice in the PL should walk League One. Not really. Lots of fringe players in the Premier League are only in the league because they are local to the club they're at, Shola, Ramage in the past or alternatively in the league because they got promoted with a club, for example Stephen Ward at Wolves and now Burnley wouldn't be a good player in League 1. Shola is also nearly 35 now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 He was a good player up to about 2005. Not a world beater but good enough to be a 3rd choice Newcastle striker. What happened then I always think is unfair on Shola as especially the fans have forgotten the sacrifice he made. He injured his hip, he should have had surgery right away but instead Souness and Roeder and the clubs medical staff persuaded him to put himself on the line for his club and slave away on the left wing with pain killing injections for over two years. He wasn't training half the time he was so bad yet he did what he did because the managers asked him to help the club. Ultimately by the time he got to have surgery, he fucked his leg up so bad he stopped becoming a viable footballer. This man gave far more heroism to this club than most ever will and paid the ultimate price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Doesn't matter how much of a nice guy he might have been, he was absolute shite for the majority of his time here. Not his fault, mind, it was a succession of shite managers and coaches who persistently put him on the pitch. Sadly Shola just reminds me of a dark time, where the club buried it's head in the sand about the quality of player actually required at the top level. It's a virus the club can't seem to shake off, although at least we know Rafa won't fall foul to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Used to absolutely hate him as a footballer but by all accounts a canny lad. Happy for him to be alive; just don't come anywhere near NUFC ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Looked like a star in the making before the hip injury fucked him. Remember Shola and Lua Lua v Leverkuson in Chamions League. Shearer, Bellamy, Shola and Lua Lua looked a promising quartet of power and speed. Shola played a season with a bad injury which his hip never fully recovered. (Under Souness iirc) He needed major surgery which he held off until other options became available. He came back and looked like he couldn't play 90 minutes. He must be close to the most subbed player to ever play for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Looked like a star in the making before the hip injury fucked him. I think that's what James was referring too. Played injured to help the team and fucked his hip up permanently because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
