Does no one remember his last minute freekick against charlton when he stole it from kinky?! Pure class ;)

Still annoys me now we swapped Paul Walsh for this useless lump of lard. Fucking awful player.

I remember being at St James Park in 1995 when the Pie-man notched a late header when we were being spanked 0-3 with ten men. He went absolutely ballistic with joy - as if he had scored the winner. It was very noticeable that he played at half the speed of the rest of the players on show - and as for his performance in his start at home to Chelsea, in midfield (!), words failed me, as he tried to score from about 40 yards. Did he ever have a good game?

That was his real problem, a total lack of fitness, on the very odd occasion when he could keep up with play he was a decent finisher - the winner at Leeds in the 95/96 season springs to mind.

From a Lomas cross if I recall correctly? Was there that day, got spat on by the Leeds fans on the way in, how charming

Yes, Alan Ball certainly had an eye for a top player ... Gerry Creaney, Martin "Buster" Phillips, Nigel Clough, Michael Frontzeck .... the list of quality signings he brought into the club is (sadly) beginingless.

I can't imagine how we ended-up getting relegated.

And to think that these days we grumble that David Silva's had an off-day, or that Yaya gave the ball away once in his 100 passes.

Edited for accuracy.

I kind of miss those days of the mid-late nineties, in a masochistic kind of way. Every week, wondering how we'd outdo the previous week's shambles. Watching Nigel Clough dominating the midfield and marvelling at the skills of Michael Frontzeck. Bliss!!

Frontzeck wasn't as bad as everyone makes out! He got 2 soft red cards early on which didn't help. 19 caps for Germany!!
