Superior Acuña Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Remember there was a story not long after he left when we were doing shit and we were playing a game in London that he visited the team and tried to rally them. Agree best striker since Shearer, and likeable guy. Big impact in just a year and a half. Edited September 13, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The best striker we've had since Shearer. He'd have left for greater things regardless, but whoever had that release clause inserted into his contract should be strung up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 13 hours ago, joeyt said: What was your favourite Ba goal? Loved his one vs Reading away. Seems to be often forgotten about Tough one. I remember him scoring a nice brace away at Norwich and also a slick finish at home, where I think HBA played him through. The ones that stick out in my mind is his brace against WBA, when we lost 3-2. Shitty 500 mile round trip on a Wednesday, mind. Need a montage of all his goals at NUFC. Have definitely forgotten some lovely finishes. I'm sure he scored a lovely curler against Spurs at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 love it when the syrup crack pops up again. Such a likeable bloke. Brilliant player too. Was there for his first goal(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Aye there needs to be a big compilation of all his goals somewhere. What a legend, fantastic striker and have many happy memories from watching him play. Agree he was probably the best since Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Great striker and and even better person, i was lucky to be there for his first season and have some great memories of some of his goal, wish him all the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Remember when we got absolutely trashed at Spurs away and the only joy we got out of it was singing his song for 90 mins.

Billy Pilgrim Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 He was an excellent poacher. As others have said easily the best striker since shearer, anywhere in the box and he was a threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could lay that title on Cisse maybe, but Demba ran the channels, was a useful target man, and was pretty lethal outside the box. I can remember some pretty decent 25yd free kicks. He was one of the most exciting strikers we've had since the SBR days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he had much more to his game but that season we finished 5th, a lot of the goals were him grabbing one from nothing and catching opponents half asleep. He was a great all round forward but what he truly excelled at was turning up with a finish out of fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
