Fucking mental that we created these situations and the solution seems pretty simple. My dad reckons the fences were the main issue. Intermittent concrete carriers didn’t help either. As a young lad I personally had three experiences of being crushed/winded against them in the Gallowgate. They stopped you getting moved around knocked over in the surges but at some risk.

joeyt Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Was thinking if you were to create a 5 a side team of former managers we must be up there with having the best team? Ardilles Gullit Dalglish Keegan Shearer Subs: Bruce, J.Charlton I'm struggling to think of any other team in the UK who have had better footballers as managers. Imagine the likes of Barcelona and Ajax would have good ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Souness too Barca would probably be Cruyff, Pep, Xavi, Rijkaard and Koeman. On the bench you could have Luis Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Steve Bruce had been as good as Bobby Moore (which he wasn't), he'd still not get in my team, due to my perfectly rational hatred of that fat waste of skin. Hughton was a pretty decent player, like. Edited April 29 by bigfella Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Terry Mac only had one game as caretaker manager for us. And who would you leave out of that midfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be assistant to the regional manager One game as a caretaker in 96/97 after Keegan flounced, would have him in on a technicality if we weren't already stacked in midfield.

Kid Icarus Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Stan Seymour, Joe Harvey or Joe Kinnear ahead of Roeder, no? Edited April 29 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 TIL that John Carver is the name of some stupid American historical figure or something. So I was mildly amused while watching the horror movie Thanksgiving where the antagonist was wearinga John Carver mask (sadly not the face of THE John Carver).

Stan Seymour was a forward and although a legendary figure at the club, he's not getting in ahead of Keegan, Shearer and Dalglish. Joe Harvey was again, not a defender, more a left sided midfielder, could have played as a modern wing back, I suppose. Kinnear is a good shout actually, he played for a decent Spurs side who won things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
