Minhosa Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hughes could dish it out but couldn’t take it back, the man was a protected bully and a coward Agreed, he was a proper dirty, niggly cunt but one of the best 'volleyers' of a ball I've seen.

Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Gordon Lee’s record seems similar to Pardew (random 5th placed finish) but with a Cup final, yet is miles behind him. I know he had a bad reputation for the way Supermac ended up leaving, but he should be above Pardew? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The window licker is defending the big nosed cunts position in nearly every article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I've heard my dad sticking up for Gordon Lee in the past, said he was a bit different and didn't mind ruffling a few feathers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 My dad hates him. Mentions a story how in his first training session he told Supermac ‘this is how you take a throw in’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 To be fair, he might have been ahead of his time given how shite we are at keeping possession from our own throws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Every time I see David Batty play I realize how much better he was than given credit for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah, so many goal highlights from that era he gets the ball and turns and moves it forward really quickly. That was key to the plan of course. Decent player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah, under rated at the time. He’d piss on every single one of the likes of Winks, Rice, bland English midfielder, today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I think he's similar quality to Winks, not that I remember very well. Winks is pretty busy and energetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batty was a super super player Kanji[/member]. I had a ST during his time with us and he was a top player. A great addition to the team. He really moved us on a level imho. Mad how he's gone completely incommunicado now. Literally, career finished, disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that because he seemed very popular amongst his team mates etc. I'd heard he would go to training, work his bollocks off, go home and very rarely socialise etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It's true. He admitted he didn't like football. It was simply a job to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Batty was a fantastic player, he had it all really. Was hard as nails and could pick out a pass, was so tidy on the ball. You look at the soft cock no hopers we have now playing that role in Hendrick and Hayden and it's fucking depressing how miles away they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As I've posted a million times he was, and probably is, my ever favourite player. Was a member of his fan club and everything , will have to dig out if I kept any of stuff I got through it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yep, at the time same here. I remember the team i played for at the time, I would wear the number 4 and channel my inner Batty and run around kicking people. Was a true inspiration.
