Let's hear it for Edin Dzeko

[andyhinch]

No Tueart mentioned? Edin, frustrating especially at the end but underrated

 

[Marvin]

All this and you forgot our one month wonders and fantastic loanees.
Justin fashanu.
Michael branch.
Peter Beardsley.
Mark Robins.
Egil ostenstad.
Barry conlon.
Dalian Atkinson.
Emile mpenza.
As a side note just say no to drugs kids as you end up doing a post like this at silly o'clock in the morning like the OP.

Ronnie Ekelund. Nigel Clough

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Certainly better fit that Bony

Always remember Tolmie and Kinsey promising so much

Loved Bobby Mac for going in goal as did big Niall

 

[Don Karleone]

A great player, very unfairly treated at times I thought.
Best game was v Spurs in 11.

Perfect hat trick and 2 special goals.

Unplayable that day

 

[Blue Mooner]

Shame he never got the support he deserved. He could have been a legend we certainly miss his height and presence and finishing ability.

 

[Phelan's Pace]

Perfect hat trick and 2 special goals.

Unplayable that day

He really was.
I used to be on another forum and some on there wanted him out and Bony in.

Lol.

 

[Sheikh Rattle n Roll]

What about the powerhouse that was Steve Kinsey......who recalls screaming for him to be brought on against Luton to give us some pace up front before Antic scored that goal!!!

 

[Derek Parlane]

The OP missed off Paul Stewart

Also Tony Cunningham and not forgetting David James

 

[Helmet Cole]

Not easy on the eye, but very effective. How many more points might he have got us this season, even just ad a sub?

 

[Tbilisi]

Okay, cards on the table.


My first game was Chelsea 70-71, so I never quite witnessed the halcyon days of Bell, Lee, and Summerbee. However, I was saw most of 76-77, and I’ve had a Season Ticket since 81-82.

Kidd and Royle: never quite get the credit they deserved.

Channon: a decent striker when our main priority should have been a goalscoring midfielder.

Robinson: apart from a spectacular goal v the rags, I’m struggling.

Roger Palmer:underrated

Trevor Francis: right man at the wrong time.

David Cross: a turning point in the wrong direction.

Parlane: late winner at Elland Road almost got me battered.

Melrose scoring from the Fallowfield car park against Notts County.

Davies and Lillis: celebration after the diving header v Watford.

Varadi: bananas, and all that
Adcock: winning goal at Millwall
Biggins: ran around a lot

Moulden’s family owned a chippy, but Machin preferred Morley.

Allen was the better player, but Oldfield scored in the 5-1

Kendall bought Quinn, and then it all seemed to change for the better.

Wait a minute?

Did somebody mention White, and Carl Shutt?

Where’s Mike Sheron when you need him?

Walsh and Rosler arrived, and then Kavashvilla scored against the rags.

Then it all went pear shaped and Bradbury was a tosser.

Paul Dickov? Gareth Taylor? Bob Taylor? Tim Brooke Taylor ?

Goater became a hero, and for one brief moment, we assumed that Vuoso was the final piece in the jigsaw

Macken arrived, and then scored the winner at Tottenham.

Fowler? lacked hunger

Anelka? lacked motivation

Wanchope? lacked fitness

Sibierski? lacked hair

Cole and Vassell: yesterday's heroes competing for tomorrow’s trophies.

Samaras: weak

Corradi: wooden

Bianchi: forgotten

Sturridge: injured

Evans: imprisoned

Jo: hopeless

Benjani: clumsy

Adebayor: offside

Caicedo: even more clumsy

Bellamy: aggressive

Tevez: popular



Dzeko: then it all changed.

5-1 v Tottenham ,6-1 v United (2011-12

Crucial goals at Palace, Everton, and at home to Villa (2014)

Always seemed to score against the rags

Oh, and the other goal v QPR

Will never be as popular as Aguero, but…………..




:

You missed Cunningham and Kinsey and their superb link up for the equaliser v Oxford United
