Unsung Heroes


Recommended Posts

I highly rate some of those mentioned but some of the others for me were more like not quite good enough, or didn't fulfil their promise.

 

Alec Clelland was a big weak link for me which really showed up in Europe. It also showed that while Walter had a bit of money to spend, he didn't have quite enough to build a full team never mind a full squad of class players. One thing I think he got wrong there was that when he brought in his wingback system, it needed two class wing backs as linchpin players - Cleland and Bolan were not class players.

 

A few underperfomers for me (relative to the perception of their own ability and fee/wage) were Hemdani, Buffel and Ricksen.

 

One I think that deserved more plaudits (although maybe not quite unsung) was Stuart McCall.

Here's one I read about in our favourite tabloid today having an almost 50% goal average___ Alex Willoughby.

 

Alex Willoughby never reached his potential. I remember at Brockville I think, Willoughby coming on for the pre-match kickabout still smoking a fag!

There's a man who despite fearsome reputation had to retire through injury Tom Forsyth,knew how to score from six inches and make great tackles.
Not really an unsung hero in my eyes as he was just one of my real hero's.
