David Moyes - just think if we had held onto him and he had started his management career at the Gay Meadow. Where would we be now?

we named our dog after an ex-girlfriend of mine (as opposed to the wife's...wishful thinking)

agreed, I think Moyes is an excellent manager, despite being a Scottish ginger haired gnome.

Surprised John McGinlay hasn't had more of a mention, went on to play for Scotland after leaving us and is a legend at Bolton. Don't think anyone's mentioned Bomber either Him and Davey Walton were a superb partnership together and we let him go for next to nothing - went on to play in the premiership and at international level i do believe.

I thought Richard Scott was absolutely class for 2 seasons, but then he got fat and crap and went to P'boro I think. Did he regain his form there? I know he went to Telford abd was crap there!
Gary Stevens scored 20 goals for us in the 80s one season, then the following season he was played in defence, and we gt rid of him a year later! That always disappointed me!
O'neil Donaldson was always a strange one, didn't get much chance with, went to somewhere like Mansfield the out on loan where he scored 7 goals in 4 games or something, next thing I know he's playing in the Prem with Sheff Wed! Maybe we should have given him more of a chance, although I think he's a centre half somewhere now

Suprise no one has mentioned Ross Maclaren, up there with the best and a lot better than several named.

Isnt Mr gall at FC Copenhagen now, oh and whatever happened to the other dane Thomas Nielsen?. I'd nominate Andy Tretton from recent past. Or even Mickey Brown getting rid of once is bad enough but 3 times? .

the subject can be read either way, I focused on the words..'rid of' and 'best' hence Tim Steele, £100,000 of garbage.

Has anyone mentioned Austin Berkley? A stunning little player who continued to play well when he left us. Not a clue what he is doing now!

I wasnt around..but Peter Broadbent (apparently)
Squire Maguire.. he is the reason number 11 is always my lucky number
as for the rest.. Wardle, Pearson, McNally, Wayne Clarke, and dare I say it, Ian Woan (sorry but if he was passing to the likes of Alan Shearer and half of Chelsea who work for the ball, go on runs losing defenders then you'd appreciate him more)
Gerry Daly on his day was in the words of Ant, "Quality"

Selling Tony Kelly was a massive mistake for the price we got for him.Also not keeping John McGinlay was a bit of a blooper.At least with Pearson and McNally we got decent fees for the time.
Biggest disappointments Ian Woan,Dean Peer,Peter Whiston and Darren Rowbotham.

Carl was the finest player I've seen play for the Town (bearing in mind I don't remember that much about the Division 2 days).
But this thread started off about mistake we made, and I think we got an excellent deal for Carl.
Same would go for Davey Walton?

The Walton deal has to be the best in the clubs history as he was sadly injured for most of his time at Crewe anyway.

Aussie now plays for Welling, just one division below us. He gets my vote (I've only been going eleven years though, never saw half these suggestions) Evo was, and is, rubbish. If overhead hooks upfield, usually out of play, are what you are after, then he's great. I think calling him a Wales international is overdoing it too, I saw that game and he barely touched the ball in a brief sub appearance.

Evans was our last great midfielder.
His work ethic and passing were excellent.
His dignity in leaving the club superb.
And he's made 2 appearances for Wales, and they were unbeaten in both......

Can't fault the work ethic, and I apologise for missing his second international appearance. Who was it against, out of interest? And did he start? In terms of dignity, yes he clapped the crowd and seemed emotional, but did he not also request a transfer, and then join a club in the same division to further his career? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that at all, but any number of players have left with as much dignity - Pete Wilding stands out.

Post by gregtheshrew on Feb 6, 2004 13:09:57 GMT 1
But unlike Peter Wilding Evo was the best player Town have had in the last 10 years.

Post by dachshund on Feb 6, 2004 13:12:50 GMT 1
Fair enough. I don't want an Evo argument here, no need. I don't rate him anywhere near as highly as others do, but I respect their opinions, and will leave it at that.

Post by How Soon Is Now? on Feb 6, 2004 13:14:43 GMT 1
Didn't Evo leave the club earlier than he wanted so we could get some money for him before his contract ran out?
An excellent servant to the club IMO who the current breed could learn a lot from.

And he did score one against Stockport once that won me about twenty quid, so perhaps I'll reconsider.] Aussie was also the man who suggested to Jake that Pete could do a job in midfield alongside Dean Peer, so everyone has their flaws.
