Danh1 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 As poor as we were in the league in his full season in charge, I remember that season very well. Close European home wins against Fenerbahce and Celta Vigo with Super Sib getting on the scoresheet! I also remember us winning 3-2 at Spurs with Oba Martins riffling one into the very top corner. We felt like a proper club back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very sad news. Wasn't the greatest manager we've ever had but he did well for us under the circumstances. Always seemed like a really nice guy too. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I can remember him and his Roeder shuffle in his playing days alongside KK, Beardsley and Waddle. What days and what team! He always quietly got on with his job. A key yet fairly unheralded player and genuinely nice bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Great caretaker manager for us but never should've got the job full time imo. Know he was a great servant for us as a player. Always conducted himself very well on the touchline. Took over as caretaker saying he didn't want it permanently and I'm not entirely sure he ever did. He did a good job and it seemed like Shepherd felt he had to offer it - or saw it as the easy option. If it wasn't offered I don't think he'd have kicked up a stink and I can't blame him for accepting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Such sad news. He was a great servant to the club and the legendary Roeder shuffle will be forever remembered. RIP Glenn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Captain when I started going, don't know whether that makes it more profound or not but feels like it ought to. Technically the last manager Newcastle United as a football club ever had. Was too good a person to be associated with what it became there after. Wretched news but a very proud legacy here. Got the club and cared or had the class to take the time to try, unlike some. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Didn't he also spank us in his first game - or one of his first games - as West Ham manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Didn't he also spank us in his first game - or one of his first games - as West Ham manager? Aye 3-0. Remember that cunt Don Hutchinson scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 RIP Sad news this. Felt like he conducted himself in a very gentlemanly manner. I was just a teenager at the time but he sticks in my mind as someone admirable in the way he carried himself. Thoughts with his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I can remember him as a genuine ball-playing centre back who could easily have acted as a sweeper, which was the fashion in Europe around that time. It didn't work out for him as a manager, but the club was going through a difficult time. (no change there) Actually, I first saw him playing for the England B team against New Zealand, at Leyton Orient's ground. He stood out then as a class player.

Guest reefatoon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I remember after he left us as a player and went to Watford, his first game back at St James’ when the players came running out, (he was captain for Watford) and he came running out towards the gallowgate like he had done all those years for us, then realised took a huge swerve and ran the other way. 😂 what a legend.

TRon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Will always remember him as club captain, and one of our more distinguished ball playing centre backs even when we weren't a very good side. RIP, bit of a shock tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
