Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Best 1. The back-from-retirement party at Sheffield Wedesday. Scored a penno and hobbles off to a standing ovation by a bumper Hillsborough crowd 2. The free kick against Brizzle at home ('98?) which kept our desperate hopes well and truly alive 3. The winning pen away at Brentford to bag us a Chelsea home tie. Hilariously skew-wiff but thanks to a second-guessing [wrongly] goalkeeper it trickles in. Worst 1. The sending off at Plymouth 2. Being bumped down to Youth team manager by Ronnie 3. The knees finally giving in. Does anyone have any of their own Shez moments that they recall?

monkeykieran Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Best Moment: Signing Hughsey* OR Beating Leeds twice this year OR Everton away Worst moment: Not being made 1st team manager sooner. *And giving awat THAT penalty before his Latics days ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Best moment was saying the fans were "different class". He hasn't said that for a long time. Let's make a concerted effort on Saturday to outsing the big Leicester following, so that Shez can't fail to mention it in his post-match interview.

Ohh Johnny Eyre Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 His free kick away at Hull City in the 3-2 FA Cup win. I must say that was, and still is, the best free kick I have ever seen scored in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Have a recollection of an away game against Wigan at the old Springfield Park of a long high ball dropping to Shez in acres of space. And he did the 'ball jugling' trick of catching on the back of his neck and rolling it off on to the floor before passing it. Given that nobody has mentioned it already, beginning to wonder whether my memory is playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Remember during a game many years ago against a team I can't remember, the opposition sent a high ball forward, instead of chesting it or whatever he let the ball go over him and just flicked the ball back over himself with his heel and then played the ball wide to start another attack! I knew then that I was watching a player who was a different class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew then that I was watching a player who was a different class! For me, the stand out Shez moment playing wise was a non-discript home game, evening KO in the 'bugger us-we've survived but now have no players' season. Shez gets the balls in our half, holds off 1, out skills another - and then has to shout & physicllay point to Danny Bosh where he wants him to be so he can pass to him. Cue Bosh making the correct run, and shez shileding the ball from 2 oppo players whilst he waits for Bosh to get into position. Classic - the man was a different class, even without functioning Knees!!!! As a manager - masterminding one of the best weeks, football wise, of my life - beating dirty leeds away & then Everton in the FA cup. Thanks shez !!

longtimeblue Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 when he came to the club after Doncaster not offering him a contract I was scepticle he still had it, He was a revelation, in the the same team that contained Paul Reid and Stuart Thome he looked different class, he just used to stand in front of our own 18 yard box nonchalantly spreading balls with ease... Quality how he always made himself time and space naturally. Cant be denied that the best years of Shez were behind him when he signed but at our level, and especially with some of the dross we had around he still made the game look easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are still bitter about him leaving them for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply think they just couldn't afford to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be right, I didn't think any league clubs were showing an interest and we took a "gamble"... inspired signing either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Best Moment as a player - there were plenty but I think it was summed up with that goal he scored against Chelmsford, I know it was against inferior opposition but the way he strolled into a shooting position sort of summed up the man Worst as a player - that little scuffle with Corrazin vs Notts County over who was taking the penalty Best moment as manager - I just feel the 06/07 season in general, but the moment for me which summed it up was at Brighton that season when he applauded the fans after the game Worst as manager - In his first few games we struggled to score a goal, but that soon changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekWilson_1968 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Best - tackle on pudding on a muffin Barlow and getting sent off at PL1. Hello everyone from Turkey by the way. It was 28 degrees here today. I hope you are all freezing your nads off . The new Mrs Wilson says no to Swindon away so I guess I will see you home game after Leicester. Enjoy Saturday and fıngers crossed for the poınts! KtF, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
