Would love either of them in our team tonight ! Was there for Wylde's hat trick at Rotherham and was a great finisher - but has to be Stainrod all the time, best player I've ever seen in a Latics shirt and a real showman
As a Latics fan living on Wirral made my season too ! Puts our own poor season into perspective, so let's stop all the moaning. Fair play to Ronnie Moore, how ironic his team sent them down
I was there,1979 I think it was. It was on his debut when he scored from an almost impossible angle no one else would have had the audacity to try. What made it better was it was at Ewood Park where we never won and probably haven't done since. In my 45 years of watching Latics this goal gets my vote every time!
Let's hope today is the day he finally signs and we can start thinking about the rest of the team and an important match on Saturday. To add my "two pennies worth" I originally was against Evans signing but have come round to accept it more now if it happens. This is not a sexist comment but merely an observation that my female family members and work colleagues whilst obviously not condoning any of his actions without exception believe he should have the right to ply his trade again and if that is at our club so be it. I have supported Latics for over 40 years and won't stop doing now, I hope to be around to continue to do so long after he has gone elsewhere !
Funny looking back I've been watching Latics for over 40 years and 2 of the 3 best goals I've seen were scored by Simon Stainrod,his debut against Blackburn away (1979?)and home against Preston (the following year?) If only we had a player like him now crowds surely crowds would come back to BP.The other best goal was Adam Griffin's on Celebration Sunday
