Macca Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How big was Andy Holden?! Looks an absolute giant in that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie_Dugger Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 He was big that's why he was called "The Enforcer". Pity that his injuries spoiles his career with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 A reminder if ever it were needed of the big slope at Boundary Park before they sorted it. Somebody last season was complaining about the slope weren’t they? Possibly a passing elephant who won a memory test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Fantastic on Plastic. The sight of the enclosure fence around the RRE reminds how pathetic it was for keeping the away fans in at the end of the match. And the grass pitch at the top provided away fans with a nice spot for a half-time kickabout. You don't get that in the Prem. or anywhere else these days...

Markoasis Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 We had an Ass Physio!? No wonder they all look so comfortable sat down!!! He was Andy 'hamstring' Ritchie's personal physio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 He was Andy 'hamstring' Ritchie's personal physio. His injury record bordered from the niggly to the ridiculous, always missed at least 15 games a season with various muscle strains and even a broken wrist in pre-season one year. Then from late '91 to early '93 barely played due to a major back operation. If he'd have played only 25% more games than he did he would've smashed Palmer's record. In his pomp from early '88-April '91 the guy was awesome, scored every type of goal, but unlike the 'Dodger' would score 'stooping' headers rather than diving headers on the plastic. The teams Ritchie was part of had goals running all the way through it. Barrett, Henry and Milligan, Holden, Adams, Wright, Bunn, Marshall, Redfearn, The Dodger and of course Stitch. Pisses me off when I see the sterile crap we see too often these days. Most of those boys would shoot on sight. Too many players we've had over the susbsequent barren years are scared of taking responsibility. Can't blame a guy occasionally becoming disillusioned when he was brought up watching a goal fest year after year! Snapshot of what i'm talking about 87-88 3-2 vs Hudds and Sheff Utd (H) 5-0 at Sheff Utd 4-2 v Reading and BLackburn (H) 4-3 v Swindon (H) 5-1 v Stoke (H) 3-1 vs Boro, Ipswich (H) Brum (A) 2-4 v Spurs (H) 3-5 v Bradford (A) 88-89 4-1 v City (A) 4-0 v Ipswich, Birmingham, 5-3 v Portsmouth 3-0 v Oxford, Walsall, Shrewsbury 3-1 v Watford 3-4 at Barnsley & loadsa 2-2 draws H & A 89-90 7-0 v Scarborough 6-0 v West Ham 4-0 v Bournemouth 4-1 v Oxford, Ipswich 3-2 v Plymouth, Hull, Sunderland (A) 3-3 v Portsmouth and Man Utd 3-1 Leeds & Arsenal 90-91 6-1 v Brighton 5-3 v Plymouth 4-1 v Watford, Wolves, Portsmouth (A) 3-0 v Oxford, 3-1 Portsmouth 91-92 7-1 v Torquay 3-6 v Man Utd 3-2 vs Villa 2-3 vs Liverpool & Palace 2-5 vs City 5-1 vs Luton 4-3 vs Notts County 3-0 vs Sheff Wed and Chelsea 2-4 at Chelsea 92-93 6-2 v Wimbledon 2-5 v Wimbledon 5-3 v Forest 4-1 v Boro 4-3 v Sothampton 3-2 v Liverpool 4-2 v Ipswich 3-3 v City Again plenty of 2-2's What i'm tryng to say is that for 6 years or so watching Latics was awesome, it was a goalfest for and against. It was true entertainment, especially at BP. Happy Days, so when Shez promises all out attack, boy has he got a lot to live up to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
