I knew he played for us, but was stunned to see it was for three seasons. I thought he'd just been here for one, two at most. Including a player in Greer whose only contribution to our history is being a part of the team that got relegated to League 1 is frankly taking the piss. Shameful to even ask him to line up in a "legends" team. I can only assume they had to really scrape the barrel to fill the slots. Honestly I'm shocked Rudy didn't include himself in the team. Quote
Andy Posted Monday at 20:06 Posted Monday at 20:06 (edited) I've captained winning sides at CB in 2 x 'in the Community' games at Ewood in recent years. I think on that basis alone, I had more of a shout of playing in that game than Gordon Greer ever did. Edited Monday at 20:07 by Andy 4 Quote

Thinking back - there was probably a much better line up for Tony Parkes' testimonial. Didn't King Kenny, Shearer and Garner play? Quote

The bloke only ever played in 4 matches that we actually won. Legendarily shit. 2 minutes ago, RevidgeBlue said: Thinking back - there was probably a much better line up for Tony Parkes' testimonial. Didn't King Kenny, Shearer and Garner play? Indeed, although back then we had a lot more recent legends to call upon. Who has been a real 'legend' at the club in the last 15 years? Nelsen, Samba and Dunn would probably be the only ones who'd come close to making that list for me. I don't consider any player from the Venky era a legend, although I appreciate we've had a few cult hero types like Rhodes and Dack. 1 Quote

We've basically run cloggers out there for 15 years - not many legends left that can still play. Quote

Huh, you're right, I had no idea he was on the books in the early 00s. With that said, he apparently only played in one league cup game, so... technically his only notable contribution to our history is still being part of the relegation side of 16/17. Quote

Even with the barrel scraped Myles Anderson still didn’t get a game. His dad will be livid. 5 Quote

Tomphil2 Posted Monday at 21:58 Posted Monday at 21:58 I always thought Kilgalon was a sound enough defender but legend he ain't and there was definitely a hint of Gestede turning out his mates in that game. For balance though i suppose they wanted a few in from more recent times for the younger audience who can't remember past the last decade. Quote
Mattyblue Posted Monday at 22:09 Posted Monday at 22:09 Not a lot of positives to getting older, but the fact I can remember a time with players of a slightly higher pedigree than Matt Kilgallon and Gordon Greer is one of them. 2 Quote
Tomphil2 Posted Monday at 22:35 Posted Monday at 22:35 Kilgallon would walk into this defence which kind of says a lot and how we haven't moved on a jot since he was here. 2 Quote
BRFC. Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) This just angers me to be honest, looking at where we were before the c*nts bought us them lot would dream to even get a draw and now we have to accept that they’re significantly better and take the absolute p*ss out of us every time. WE ARE AN ABSOLUTE LAUGHING STOCK. VENKYS OUT!! PASHA OUT!! GESTEDE OUT! You are not wanted here. Edited 1 hour ago by BRFC. Quote
