Ginola's skill was outrageous. I'm sure I remember him taking corners with both feet and I've definitely seen him on highlight reels scoring free kicks with both feet in his career. To be the best professional footballer at your club at things like that with your wrong foot is just obscene.

 

I had a season ticket back then and he was just a joy to watch, as others have said that first half-season he tormented everyone. I've never seen anyone do that before or since, just utterly terrorise the opposition week in and week out. I loved HBA and Robert, but Ginola will always be my favourite left winger. I don't know how he'd play in the modern era because he was famously a smoker and never tracked back, but by god was he glorious to watch in full flight.

 

He was surprisingly strong as well for a player with such silky skills. Didn't get knocked off the ball easily when he was in full flow. A trait I liked in Ben Arfa as well.

Reckon it’s done before end of June for it to be on this years ffp or wait till July?

 

Most likely July 1, but nothing to stop them announcing it before then.  I think the fact he is playing at the Euro's is the most likely reason it is taking a bit of time to get it all done and announced.

All four months of it.  I was at Highbury that night in the LC - he was kicked from pillar to post.  Never the same player ever again in B&W.

 

My memories of Ginola must be more selective.  Of course I remember him turning Cox inside out vs the Smoggies. There aren’t many ‘Ginola’ games that stand out though as match-winning performances.  Both feet were like wands mind. 


His performance against Cox basically finished Cox, still haven’t seen anything like that.

 

Others are better stats wise but you need the context and at that moment in time we needed Ginola massively

Italy are second in U21 qualifying group. They play bottom placed Norway tomorrow. Three day gap then to QFs. This might take a while… .

 

We can announce it while bed on international duty, we just won't get any media for a while.

How we only won that match 1-0, God only knows. It was a massacre from start to finish.

Wasn’t Ginola’s lack of tracking back the source of the Keegan/Beresford beef?

Yeah, then Beresford swore at Keegan during the game after Keegan had bollocked him for Villa getting in down the wing.

Beresford said it took about 3/4 months for Keegan to forgive him.
