Guest Heneage Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Nice little thread in honour of the Tyne & Wear derby. Thought we could get folk to nominate players specifically for an all time Newcastle XI to face Sunderland. The only criteria is that they must have played against Sunderland for Newcastle. I'm nominating our favourite Greek Nikolaos Dabizas. http://wiki.phantis.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Nikos-Dabizas-00011.jpg/230px-Nikos-Dabizas-00011.jpg Joining the club in 1998 from Olympiacos the hairy chested centre back signed a 4 year deal with a 2 year extension taking him to 2004. His time at the club saw well over 100 appearances and two cup finals. His finest hour however came one day in February at The Stadium of Light. A tightly poised 0-0 burst into life in the 64th minute. A freekick from the right whipped in by Laurent Robert was flicked on by Alan Shearer, as it bounced in the crowded penalty area up popped Dabizas to nod the ball home from close range and send the travelling support behind the goal into raptures. What followed was the manliest celebration to date as Nikos ripped of his shirt to reveal a fur rug of a chest, the picture below becoming iconic in recent Derby history. http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/nechronical/oct2008/2/7/2DA7A64E-EE75-6BB2-4F346136792997CD.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Colo or Enqique have done anything particularly special in Derbies. Dabizas has to be in at CB, probably with Taylor for his "fall" penalty.

Thespence Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Picked this local kid who had a bandage on his head in this picture. I remember that game with me being in the Gallowgate & the normal pre-match chant of Shearer being shouted when he used to take shots at the keeper with the mascot, the Shearer chant was loudest I had ever herd it, I remember stop chanting & just looking around & then looking at Al with the 9 on his back, the captains band on his arm & that bandage on his head thinking what it must be like to be him right now with your own folk chanting your name like this before we play Sunderland. I was filling up it all happened in seconds but when I think back now it is probably my greatest memory of a derby game & it was pre-match!!!! http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/nechronical/jan2009/3/9/27D69586-08CA-F131-24001F18086FA221.jpg When he scored that freekick that was sweet.
