Tyrone Shoelaces

Plus like a lot of explosively quick players he was prone to muscle injuries.

Barcelona’s second team.

I think so, I’d want a goal start to back England if they play Spain.

Put in one of the best crosses ever for the MGP volley against Fulham.

Yeah he was special. Remember the hat trick he got at Old Trafford ?

There was the Andy Cole prior to Yorke arriving and then there was the Andy Cole after Yorke arrived.

Who was at that time ? Batistuta ?

What about Andy Cole ? He was top class when he came at first.

Yes.

I’ve read it also. And Keown never played ! Typical Sven.

I think Matty would be just behind Bellamy for me. He had it all but Bellamy was quicker. Both fantastic players in my opinion,I still shudder when I think about the accident in Rome.

As I said I’ve seem them all from 1961-62 and I rate Bellamy above all the others bar Shearer and there was some brilliant players in my little list.

And Jansen. Andy Cole before we paired him with Yorke and ruined both of then. Santa Cruz. Going - back Garner, then in the old days Fred Pickering and Andy McEvoy. Just before my time - Peter Dobing and Roy Vernon. All top class.

I think he’s finally grown up by now. He’s doing well with Wales. I remember seeing him in his very early days at Norwich and thinking - “ Mm, he’s nothing special “.

He didn’t do much after he left Rovers unless you count his time up in Scotland as something. The best I saw him play was for Celtic when they beat us at Ewood.

Look at their respective careers. That should tell you all you need to know. Sutton was great for us but Bellamy had that X factor. Teams had to line up 10 yards deeper against us when he was playing.

I was right in line with it. I thought it was going in right until it went past the post. I think if that had gone in we would have held out for a win.

It’s like watching another sport. 2 wide wingers, 2 more up front . Just Flitty and Tugay in midfield.

If you like lager I found the “ Erdinger Alkoholfrei “ the best for me.

I think Weigman will pick the team on merit. She looks to be a hard case to me.

MGP was another. He had a really good leap and got his head to lots of balls but where it went after that was down to luck.

He was too slow for full back and not good enough in the air to be a centre half. There’s a reason why he ended up playing in the third tier with Rovers. Regarding game time as a yardstick of worth. Craig Bellamy played 27 games for Rovers and won us nothing. Yet lots of people, me included, would have him in their all time best Rovers team playing alongside Alan Shearer.

Only his mum would think he’s a better player than Beck.

Not nearly enough.

Good luck with the job hunt.
