youngen Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) 2 that may not be classed as amazing but really stood out for me over the years are; Oxlade Chamberlain in the 6-0 Saints win, he ripped us apart. Jermaine Defoe, only played about 10 minutes but came off the bench for Spurs and bagged within seconds. Pretty sure we were the first team to stop him scoring werent we, when he went on his first loan at Bournemouth? Best I have seen even though performance at BP wasnt great has to be Gerrard, when he came on the whole of BP just got really nervous and knew he was going to change the game which he nearly did when he rattled the bar. When we knew even he wasnt going to score we knew we had won that game! Edited May 22, 2017 by youngen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 David Farrell for Peterborough when they leathered us 4-1. He was so much better than McNiven it actually started to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA11K Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Gerrard was class, constantly in space and a pass ahead of everyone else on the pitch (including Suarez at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Found it. It's actually Jobson he turns inside out.....

yarddog73 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 A less glamorous player who always stood out to me was Dean Saunders, his work rate and desire were phenomenal and i've seldom seen a player put as much into a game as he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Lineker, Waddle, Shearer were class but the combianation of Wright & Bright petrified out defence in what should have been a landslide victory.... Also a special mention for C_ntana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Not at BP, but Steve McManaman in the opening of game for Liverpool at Anfield against the newly promoted Latic team frightened me every time he got the ball.

Not just that he bust a gut to get in the box (forgot that actually used to happen) to be on the end of the cross but his movement bought him the space. Better than a lot of strikers we've had recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 You know I always saw Barlow as a bit of a weak link at the time but the more I watch those old videos back you see what a class player he was and a hell of a threat going forward. I recently watched the littlewoods cup game v Arsenal and despite the excellence of the goals and all round performance from 1-11 that night Barlow was easily MOTM for me.

Londonboy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Clive Allen in the 1988 FA cup tie on the old plastic. Scored a cracker of a goal and his touch and overall control of the ball were fantastic...to be fair Ozzy and Waddle were not far behind him that day....think we lost 4-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having the chance to see Gerrard and Suarez at Boundary Park was amazing for someone like me who's only ever seen Latics in League One. Surely there can't have been two better players at Boundary Park in the last twenty years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythemostimportantkick Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The magic man Paul Merson. I thought he was still a cut above as player manager with Walsall. Wasn't it him that scored from a short corner routine ? Or am I getting muddled up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 In a 3rd round FA Cup in 1967 at BP Latics were leading Wolves 2-0 with minutes to go only to let it slip to 2-2 (we lost the replay 4-1). Peter Knowles of Wolves was the architect, and even after all this time I remember his brilliant display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
