HarryBosch Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Marsh, Hudson, Best, Osgood, George have been on so far. Great programme.... Who were our Mavericks over the years and who've you seen play against us? Harkins and Baxter of late. Rick Holden was probably my first... Is it a pre requisite that they had to like a night out?

disjointed Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Groves, Stainrod, I haven't seen better than those 2. Quote
BP1960 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I rememberJoe Mercer when temporary England manager playing several mavericks against Germany, it was a joy to watch. Edited May 5, 2015 by BP1960 Quote
rosa Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 When I saw they had Harry Redknapp on I wondered whether he'd mention Alan Groves, but leeslover pointed out that there's no TV footage of him. Quote
Dave_Og Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Loved watching Duncan Mackenzie hurdling minis back in the day Quote
BP1960 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Nottingham Forest had a few mavericks but Cloughie knocked them into shape..even the portly John Robertson. Quote

I had no idea who Joe Mercer was before your comment, but this is a decent read. Sounds like he might have been onto something good after we failed to reach the WC too. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/oct/11/forgotten-story-joe-mercer-england-manager Quote

On the mention of Malcolm Allison, I met him shorlty before he passed away, it was so sad to see what was vibrant young man reduced to a shadow of himself. Quote
Stagger Lee Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Great Joe Mercer story but at the foot of the article is a link for a WHU/Redknapp/fan plays for team story that made me smile, really worth the read Why didn't Joe or Jimmy pick me http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/05/harry-redknapp-played-fan-west-ham Edited May 6, 2015 by Stagger Lee Quote

bigfatjoe1 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Stainrod and Groves for us. Best was the best. Others include Worthington, McKenzie, Marsh, Stan the man Bowles, Hudson. Osgood more of an old fashioned centreforward, Quote
Lee Sinnott Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Similar to Jack Touhy playing for latics, used to be a season ticket holder two seasons ago! A bit silly of him buying a ST when he'd have got free tickets each week for being a Centre of Excellence player... Quote
MAC0AFC Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 A bit silly of him buying a ST when he'd have got free tickets each week for being a Centre of Excellence player... Na, he got given a free season ticket in the RRE. Quote
