Rightly or wrongly, the impression I had at the time he joined us was that he was a tenacious central midfielder for MK Dons from the little I saw of him after we signed him. He had that edge with us as well and even when soon having in a more attacking role. Then barrage of constant criticism...
It did cross my mind today. How Gazza is taking this as El Tel was like a father figure. The stuff we kept hearing about in the press was about how Alex Ferguson would have sorted him out. I have great admiration for Fergie, but ultimately no "one" single person would have been the answer just...
He sure got vilified in the press for even daring to try out the Christmas tree in an England friendly. Imagine that. Experimenting in a friendly. He sure made them eat their words when using to devastating effect in Euro 96. The national team is still massively missing a manager like this.
Really sad news. Great memories of him as our manager when I started supporting us as a kid. A great manager, tactical genius and did England proud in Euro 96.
Also remember playing the board game "Terry Venables invites you to be the Football manager" a lot as a kid.
Great to hear Ziege mentioned as as well as a great free kick taker he had a great cross on him which was something we lacked at the time for a while down the left and was quite exciting to see. Lee Young Pyo is my pick for having to cover our entire left flank despite being right footed. At the...
For me it can only be Gazza as without him I would not have got into football and would not have ended up supporting us.
I have admired a few players since, but for me it has to come down to that reason alone.
I am a massive fan of Sonny btw and am proud that he has broken through the ceiling...
Commentary has driven me mad. They knew he was quality and would score goals but wouldn't have known he would score so many to threaten Lewandowski. Well that's the jist of it.
Still wish he came back to us straight after he won the CL for Real Madrid with that immense goal. He deserved a lot more respect and love from them.
Rather like Kane, I don't recall him actively responding to us on social media for similar (and possibly contractual) reasons during his time...
Our own website says he is expected to be out for the remainder of the season.
Usually it's a year out of the game is expected with an ACL.
I really do hope he can somehow make it to Euro 2024..
He was the epitome of his nickname before his injury. It seemed he covered pretty much all of the pitch at times with boundless energy.
Interesting that this was on our official site and it mentions him working towards coaching badges. I wonder if it is with us. Either way it doesn't appear too...
Great watch. I love how he keeps saying "crazy, crazy.." walking into the stadium and the dressing room for the first time + mentioning the N London derby being surreal.
Living the dream.
