See, if we had a PROPER striker

[Peter]

we could've won 1-0.

Funny old game

Last time we won away by this margin Ted Drake scored all 7.

We never really replaced Ted....

Joe Baker, John Radford, Frank Stapleton, Alan Smith - we've had a few decent number 9s (and I'm not even going to mention Wright, Henry and Bendtner)

You should be ashamed of yourself, LA.

You didn't mention Niall Quinn

Or Chamakh....

Or Paul Mariner, the most under-appreciated of them all. Perhaps that's why

Lee Chapman, the ****test of them all.

I was too young to fully appreciate how **** he was.

By the time I was old enough to judge we had signed Alan Smith

It was Chamakh or Nic

You are right about Quinn though though shocking omission (and MacDonald and Sunderland deserve a nod)

Quinny was a good lad. Bumped into him in the Green Gate on West Green Road one night. I was too scared to go over and say hello because he was sat with Liam Brady!

I loved Quinny. He actually became a thoroughly respectable centre forward when he got a bit older.

Yep - very good player with City and Sunderland. Once again though George saw an upgrade in Smith and was proved right (see also Seaman/Lukic and Marwood/Limpar)

Funny you should say that about Brady - remember seeing him in a restaurant on Upper Street. Wanted to say hi but didn't have the cojones

And the back four he inherited was decent too, but he went and put together an even better one.
