jimsleftfoot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Smalley v Everton (a) ran rings round Leighton Baines, never really did much after that Adam Griffin v Man City (h), put SWP in his pocket; at the time he was England squad member who had been tearing PL full-backs to pieces. Spoke to an Oxford fan the other week, apparently Smalley tears it up pre-season then goes missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelatics Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Joe Colbeck. Always tried really hard but alas not much skill. Keigan Parker the exact opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Kevin Betsy against Hull ( or was it Luton?) Hull, Easter Monday 2005 - he was superb, even tracking back late on and selling dummies on his own goal line…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I remember a young Irish lad in the 1960s called Tony Foster having a brilliant debut, it was all downhill after that. Around the same time centre forward Jim Beardall hit about 11 goals before Christmas and in the New Year was rewarded with a transfer to Great Harwood - where he remained for many years. Andy Sweeney, the new George Best we thought after a superb debut, he played a few more games and finished up at Mossley. John Collins scored 6 goals his debut for the Latics in a friendly, goals were then few and far between. (his record with other clubs showed though he actually wasn't a bad player) Dickie Down, he stood out because he was so poor in every game.

pinevillawill Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Carlo against Wrexham? (Again, I know it's a bit much to call him a poor player, but a standout performance at least.) Which game? He only seemed to score against Wrexham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Joe Colbeck vs Mossley. Bradley Diallo vs Huddersfield. Warren Feeney vs Accrington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Was talking to a mate about Joe Colbeck in the week. Yes he was appalling, but away at Wycombe he beat people for fun, caused mayhem and was brought off for it. no wonder he was always crap there on in. After 2 minutes he did do one of the funniest things Ive seen on a football field though. The ball was played out to him, he stopped it dead, with the ball under his foot. As he moved he slipped on it like a cartoon character slipping on a banana and faceplanted into the floor. Id pay to see footage of it. Otherwise though for 70 minutes he turned himself into a proper player. Things went wrong when he came off. Any other great performances by otherwide crap players? Just got to agree with this - I was at that Wycombe game and Colbeck was awesome - it just goes to show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Bradley Diallo vs Huddersfield. . He was toss in that game. Granted, he set up the goal, but he was so :censored:ing bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ian Ormondroyd v City at home in the 98/99 season. December 1996, he was pretty awesome v Port Vale a few weeks before too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 December 1996, he was pretty awesome v Port Vale a few weeks before too I knew I'd get that wrong. I almost posted 'dunno what year'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Different player when he came back and a goal threat. Warnock was too quick to bin him imo, would have been a very good option at this level. instead preferring to use Hodgson in an emergency.

perfectOzblue Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Matthew Rush versus Swindon, 96/97. He was brilliant that day. We won 5-1, had us believing that we would stay up. Some hope. Also seem to remember John Gannon (who was absolutely gash in his few appearances) returning after several months out and actually having a decent match. Must've been a night game, maybe 1995-ish. He WAS terrible though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamowl123 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Oumare Tounkara against Huddersfield when he basically powered through their defence with his pace every single time a ball was played through and bagged a goal.Apart from that he didn't do much and missed a header from a couple of yards out.

Wozzer Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 John Kelly was pretty ordinary but had one game where he appeared to have been replaced by Michel Platini. Age is catching up with me but it may have been against Walsall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Me at training for Colliers Return on a cold Tuesday night back in about 92. Tore the whole team a new one, scoring for fun and setting up loads. Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo on the Sunday tho and was promptly relegated back to the subs bench. Pretty much till I hung my boots up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ormondroyd.......December 1996, he was pretty awesome v Port Vale a few weeks before too And amazing at Wolves about the same time... he had an amazing month and then utter tosh.
