Fat Scotsman who looked like Rab Nesbit having a bad day but, on that left wing, seemed to have hips and feet like Nijinsky (the dancer, rather than the horse, I suppose).

Why don't they make players like that anymore? Cheap too apparently.

Really good footballer, shame about the injuries. Never got the credit he deserved in 88/89 imo

The problem with Marwood, if I remember rightly, is that Limpar came along and suddenly made Marwood seem very boring and ordinary.

He was no Glenn Helder

Marwood fell out with Graham over his PFA work otherwise we might not have signed Anders. Spot on that he eclipsed BM once signed though

Highly unusual, I've never seen a player hit the woodwork as often as Kiwomya. He was a few cm's from being a brilliant striker!

Two great feet and brilliant at set pieces. He was a brilliant signing.

That step over just before HT. Day we sacked GG wasn't it? I'd got back from my first trip to India {8-9 months} the week before and had gone to my parents the day before the game. Dad said he'd take me then we saw GG's sacking on TV 2-3 hours before we left for the station.

Am I wrong in thinking Eboué hit the woodwork about ten times one season? After moving to RW when Sagna went to RB.
