This man gave far more heroism to this club than most ever will and paid the ultimate price.

:lol:  He played for his hometown club for 14 years, he didn't die on the beaches of Normandy.

pay the ultimate price

 

 

 

› to die because of something you have done, especially something you do for moral reasons:

 

These soldiers have paid the ultimate price for their country's freedom.

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.

Hmm... yeah, I'm sure that was down to injuries.

Souness did similar with Taylor and his shoulder. Totally fucked him over by bringing him back far too early several times.

I think that's what James was referring too.

 

Played injured to help the team and fucked his hip up permanently because of it.

To be honest, anyone with a bit of sense would have got this.

I'm still a bit gutted we never signed Tomi for the Ameobi trifecta.

 

I'm pretty sure we did and he played for the reserves. OR, years ago I thought it would be amusing to have all 3 Ameobi's play in the same team so bought him for Football Manager. Although I am pretty sure Tomi was on our books in real life.

Boo-boys have always loved the local lad to spew their bile on. Nice one!

I don't know why people say this when it wasn't long ago that we loved Andy Carroll. I think theres extra venom for rubbish local players because they're seen to get more leeway with managers and other fans because they're local. It just so happens that most of the local lads we've produced recently have been crap. If we'd produced more players on Andy Carroll's, Michael Carrick's or Shearer's level in recent years, they'd be be loved even more for being local imo.

Carroll took a bit of crap, during his early years. I think most supporters love to see local lads doing well, but you will always get a few who will jump on their backs as soon as a mistake is made. Shola (like Shearer) probably lived his childhood dream - playing for the club he supported as a boy, including scoring goals in the Champions League. Perhaps he stayed at the club too long, but he  did what many of us would give our right arm for.
