L1onheartNew Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 On the flip side of players you wished had not played against us. I give you Gianluca Vialli Brilliant CF in the mould of ye olden days. Outside of Alan Young, the most complete CF I have ever seen at BP. Pure genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Peter Beardsley unplayable agree with Vialli, lethal Just on reputation Weah Giggs and Kanchelskis pulled out pants down a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I enjoyed watching Paul Merson for Arsenal in a game at BP in the 1st division. I recall watching him cut inside Andy Barlow or Glynn Snodin and curl one with the outside if his right foot onto the inside if Hallworth's post, in near enough one movement.... it rebounded away thankfully. Think it was the same game Ian Wright spat at fans walking up the tunnel. Ended 1-1. Edited May 21, 2017 by lookersstandandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seemed to be in 10 yards of space every time he received the ball and played killer pass after killer pass. Destroyed us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizzell54 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 George Best and Rodney Marsh for Fulham. Ossie Ardiles, though I thought at the time we were giving him too much respect (not so, he was that good!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still had a quality touch as a manager too .. He was manager for Walsall (iirc) and dressed in a suit and brogues, caught a very high ball and trapped it with said brogues perfectly!

disjointed Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ardilles was a joy to watch, although I didnt think so at the time. Gerrard Le Tissier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittles left foot Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Trevor Brooking strolled thru a game against us and I think I remember he scored with a header in that game. Alan Shearer as a young lad playing for Southampton made it look easy to score and Matt Le Tissier was class. Anybody remember the Burnley winger Leighton James shredding one of our greatest full backs Ian Wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre back pass rule he rolled it out to a full back and then received it back again countless times...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittles left foot Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 4-1 and guess who got our goal from a penalty? The clue is in the posters title. Apparently Wood was told to stop James coming inside so he just ran outside around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Andy Cole when we played Newcastle. Think it was live on Sky and he scored a hat-trick. We just couldn't handle him. Although it was Bower Fold rather than BP, I would have to give a special mention to a very young Michael Owen against our reserves. Showed nothing in his general play to suggest he'd go on to be owt special. Only remember him touching the ball 3 times, another hat-trick. Matt Le Tis on the last day of the season in 93. The result and jubilation overshadowed how good he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong here but seem to remember being at Burnley when Vic Halom got sent off for crunching Kindon who could put it about a bit himself.
