Gerry Creaney - your memories

[Blumers Bloomers]

I meet him at the Orange Tree pub In Altrincham in 1997. He was a complete piss can. It was a shame really because he was alright at Celtic & Portsmouth. As previously stated he was way out of his depth at City.

I think he spent a lot of time in there. Then onto the Charcoal Pit, then a taxi straight to Platt Lane for training, stopping off at Boots on the way for a razor and toothbrush

A Elland Road, fog, Thomas Brollin debut (?) for leeds- then three unbelievable things; a 1-0 win for an Alan Ball team, a goal from Creaney.....from a Richard Edghill cross.

Good day!!

 

[The Deckchair Kit]

Pre-season friendly vs Scarborough at the Mccain stadium.

Pre match warm up with the legend himself in fine shooting fettle........needles to say IIRC every single shot (loosely speaking) he attempted ended up nestling in the back of the stands with the fans.


Never has a man who shot so much produced so little.

Scoring a free kick at home to Charlton(?), can't recall if it was a winner or equaliser but it was a sweet strike at the North stand end.

Heading the winner at Elland Rd in Alan Ball's season.

Last minute winner v Charlton, great goal TBF!

That was my only memory of him. A pointless transfer and stupid move to swap him for Paul Walsh.

Don't forget we actually handed over cash too, which makes it even more embarassing too. The only you could compare in resent times to this farce of a transfer was again with Portsmouth Benjani. When Sven signed him that really was the begining of his downfall

An absolute pile of steaming horse sh*t for 9 million you seriously couldn't make it up.

Gerry Creaney; the man who trapped a ball further than I can kick it! Although, to be fair to him, he wasn't on his own during that dark era.

Class and loads of laugh and 1 very pissed Gerry Creaney.

MCFC OK

about a month after we signed him i think Walsh suffered a serious injury that finished his career i think. Otherwise, hopeless at everything he did except the goals v Barnlsey and that thwack shot v Leicester in the cup.
