LFEE Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm sure Motson was a good at one point, but he has lost his marbles over the past decade or so. He was excellent in the 1980's commentating on two of my favourite games Italy 3 Brazil 2 in 1982 WC and France 3 Portugal 2 in 1984 EC. As time went on I preferred Barry Davies.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 José's the best left back I've seen at Newcastle and although the way he left was a bit sour, he was absolutely right about the way that the club was and is run, even if us finishing 5th straight away momentarily made him look like he was talking shite. Cracking footballer and we'll all have some great memories of him. One on one in particular he was colossal, it was only really Sturridge when he was at Bolton who I ever saw truly outfox him.

Foluwashola Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'll remember him purely for the sweet, sweet time he spent in nets on his return to SJP. Decent player for a couple of seasons but ultimately not fit to lace Bernard's boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Technically, aye he might have been better, but in terms of where he'll rank in NUFC history it's not even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Ah right, that'll be why he tried to force a move to West Ham then 3 clubs in 10 years vs 6 clubs in 9 years as well, hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lives round here doesn't he? Anyway, I know which I'll remember more fondly. Good day for retirements mind with Sheepskin going. Hopefully they can bin off Ronnie Radford with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Olivier Bernard wasn't a mercenary? He acted like a twat to try and force a move twice, he even took the club to tribunal to try and sign for West Ham. http://origin-www.whufc.com/articles/20020701/olivier-bernard_2236884_1141391 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Enrique was pretty ordinary from an attacking point of view, that's what edges it for me. You reckon? Always thought his attacking play was very good. He had a cracking cross on him as well. It probably helps that Bernard and Beresford had Cole, Beardsley, Ginola, Ferdinand, and then Robert, Bellamy, and Shearer to work with rather than the likes of Carroll, Lovenkrands, and Best, like.

Foluwashola Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 He wasn't great going forward Enrique like. Somewhere inbetween Dummett & Bernard. Did make up for it defensively like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I still can't find any quality footage of that match where he went in goal. Not too sure about highlights too either. Loved that day, even the part where Carroll was booked for diving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
