Gerry Creaney - your memories

Reminds me a bit of Haaland

Strangely Creaney looked a decent player at Celtic (36 goals in 112 appearances) and at Portsmouth (32 goal in 60 matches). Then he got the big move (at least in the case of wages) to City and gave up.

After he left City, he came up for an open training session for Hibs in Edinburgh. He did not impress. At the time he was 28 and should have been approaching the peak of his career. Instead he looked like a tub of lard.

He joined St Mirren and made 12 appearances and scored 3 goals. After than it was downhill all the way with 16 matches for Notts County, 6 for Raith Rovers and 5 for sundry Scottish and Finnish clubs all producing a grand total of 4 goals!

Met creany in the Guinness bar at old Trafford test match v Australia in summer of 97. He was with horlock, summerbee and bright well brothers. Horlock was so pissed he couldn't string 3 words together. One of my rag mates told Gerry he was a fat useless bastard. Creany replied he was a fat useless bastard on £7k a week before downing a Guinness in one.

Sounds like Horlock in the fanzone at Porto

Lee Peacock and Gordon Dalziel

In the Goats book he said when Peacock was introduced to the rest of the squad he was asked if he had any questions and he asked “which day do we go out and get pissed?”

Gave hope to obese people everywhere that they too could play professional football.

I was about 13 when he arrived and 15 when he left. I genuinely thought that if he could, I could. Could say that about a dozen 95/96, 96/97, 97/98 players mind you.

My memory was when Bluemoon had decent topics...kindly go forth and multiply with this shit.
