Cana, Schwarz, Mvila, Kirchoff. Luke O'Nien has probably played for them more than these combined. Edited October 20, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 On about Zenden: Quote He's another I think people get inexplicably misty eyed over. For a start, he barely started a game for us. The vast majority of his forty-odd appearances were as a sub. He showed flashes of his undoubbted quality, but his legs were going really, and I'm not sure we ever really saw the best of him.

What an absolute shower of shite that club is if that bunch of has-beens, never-weres and non-entities is their choice man!

I'd say at least 40. Honestly, as much as I like laughing at them, I stopped at the first page. It was genuinely depressing to read their nominations - Christ, they’ve really never seen a top rate midfielder play for them, have they? Don’t get me wrong, it’s funny too - but fuck me, I’d be utterly devastated if Reyna, Bracewell, McCann, Schwartz, Baaaaally and Clattermole were the ones getting mentioned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d need to be of a decent vintage though - it’s before my fatha’s time, and I’m in my 40s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
