Unsung heros

Jordan Stewart - just imagine if we had him now, and how useful he would be.

Nah, his shoulder kept popping out for us. I blame the coaching myself - has he had those problems since leaving?

Pontus Kaamark

I think he's already been mentioned but I agree Theo Zagorakis.

Why

It was his fault we lost the Worthington Cup to Tottenham.




And Mrs Spion fancied him which made me hate him even more

 

[Melton Fox]

Why

Because it's more fun to pick a random name that has never been given "Hero" status, than it is to actually think of somebody that justifies it.

Sorry Spion, if I'd known about your missus I would've picked Lilian Nalis, oh hang on, no I wouldn't, my ex fancied him ... :icon_conf

Worryingly, I think one of us may be slightly serious......

What about Willie Carlin and Bobby Kellard....

I was thinking that two guys like these are just what the club needs now.... fantastic grafters and totaly committed to win for the club...

i live in hope...

Very true.

But other classic unsung heroes - Derek Hines (created loads of chances for Arthur Rowley) and Willie Gardiner (outscored Rowley for one season).

 

[Billyjof]

My unsung hero.... Nah he was a hero

Kasey Keller.

 

[Redditch Fox]

And just to indulge myself as a supreme know-all......two names mentioned in this thread as "Unsung heroes"....Mike Stringfellow and Jimmy Melrose.

No Way!!!

Both were heroes and cult figures: anyone following the club in the 60's and early 70's would know that one of our main anthems was "You've not seen nothing like the Mighty String". Fine unorthodox winger - who sometimes when needs must - also led the attack as a centre forward. 'Mike & the Midgets' anyone else that phase of the Gillies regime when Stringy was the only forward tall enough to head a ball - except when Davie Gibson jumped onto someones shoulders?".

As for Jimmy Melrose - classic cult hero category. Few City players have been so popular in such short stays at the club which was why Gordon Milne was so unpopular because of his sale to Cov.

Back to Christmas now!

I know I'll get pelters for this but I always liked Dennis Wise. I think he was justified in belting Davidson and if we had a few more players with his spirit and committment we would never have descended to the level we did.

You are joking, right?

An interesting point of view that will have precious little traction on this forum. :icon_bigg :icon_wink

And should we have paid the £2 million compensation he wanted?

I couldn't agree more Realist, spot on.

Hitler, West, Shipman and Manson have all been dealt with unfairly too. I was also petitioning for the release of Brady and Hindley in the seventies. It seems to me that some people are judged and punished harshly, little Den is just one of those cases.

I'm serious. I liked Wisey before he joined us so I may be a bit biased. Davidson gave it the big-un, so Wisey clumped him. Micky adams didn't want Wise sacked, and he would have been privvy to the real goings on behind the scenes, not the rumours that came out at the time, and with that in mind I think we should have paid Wise the £2million.
