GlossopLatic Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Strange feeling about this. See on one hand I have great memories of him being a prodigious talent infact probably the most naturally gifted player I have seen with the ball at his feet over the last decade plus, to pull on the blue shirt. The otherside of me can't help feel he should have achieved so much more in the game. Either way we were the ones who saw the best of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 A sad loss to the game; such a prodigious talent that we were privileged to see. You'll always be fondly remembered by Latics fans. Good luck in whatever you do, Jose, and thank you for the pleasure you gave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Great shame. Always liked him, ever since i saw him play for Everton reserves in a pre-season friendly. Huge talent, but he lost his way and couldn't quite get it back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 He hit a cracking 25 yard free kick at BP against Preston that left their keeper grasping thin air and Graham Westley doing his nut on the touchline. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 "Today I announce my retirement from football I write this today with lots of mixed emotions. But let me tell you about my roller coaster career. From being a kid from council estate with dreams like everyone else. I set myself 4 goals / dreams at 13. I managed to tick 3 of by 20. Last one I never got to do From playing in Premier league , Europa league , Captaining country at youth level, scoring at Wembley in Fa Cup Semi finals to playing hundreds of league games, traveling the world playing football and still sit here feeling down and I underachieved. But my own silly mistakes got in the way and 3 years out the game at 21 coming back with my body never being the same was always a up hill battle. I would like to thank every person who’s been apart of my journey. From my coaches at Everton (Tosh, Robbie, Neil , ray, Stubbsy, Taff, lloydy , Martin etc) as a kid to my first loan manager to every manager I had (Les Parry, Unsy, Paul Dickov, Paul Scholes, Nigel Adkins, Nigel Clough, David Moyes, Ryan Lowe ) , every set of fans I played for ( Everton , Tranmere, Sheffield United, Oldham, Plymouth, Memphis901) and mostly my family and friends (Mum , Dad, Liv, Cindy , Dave , Kim , Hana , Kim, Chairman, Unsy, Denise, Henry, my Nans, Peter & Col all lads from Peak performance who stuck by me through the bad times as well as the good. So if I could say some words my 13 year old self who had them dreams it would be YOU LIVED IT SON. Thank you Jose" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Really great, well grounded lad and made time to chat and sign autographs for us fans, nearly spared Scholes blushes at home to Morecambe but it wasn't to be. Fond memories and all the very best in whatever you do Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsalt Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Seems he’s studying for his coaching badges and is working in the Everton youth setup. Bill Kenwright has clearly played a big role in keeping his life, relatively, on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument that Bill Kenwright has helped actually keep him alive; he was going down a very slippery path after the Sheffield United ban. Love him, named our family pet after him in 2013...

GlossopLatic Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Anyone seen that interview that has gone online that Baxter has done where he says that Corney promised him 50% on his sale to Sheffield United once he got the money he turned round and said it never happened. Barry and Neil Joy also denied this. Oh and the fee was £1.3million we got from Sheffield United. Someone smarter than me please bring the video up its on social media. Its a nice reminder that our previous owner and his cronies were also shithouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those people that shouted myself, @oafcprozac and @lookersstandandy down over the years to name a few when we said that Corney and the other 2 were crooks! We told you so! But we were told by the appreciation society happy clappers that they were the amigos, the saviours and be grateful to have a club! These 3 crooks and shafters are the ones that have sent us down the path to where we are now! Remember that! Where did that £1.3 million go? Certainly wasn't on the club, probably the same place that Corney pocketed the Tarkowski sell on clause! As for Barry Owen and Neil Joy you are a disgrace to the club, for your part in this and our decline! They have the nerve to try and cosy up to fans after their part in this. So much for the BS of selling the club to the right person who can take it forward. He sold to the first clueless fool. I hate to say it, but Abdallah may have had a point about them being just as bad as him. I wonder if those idiots still have their Simon Corney T-shirts?

PeteG Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Not sure he when he referred to Barry it was Barry Owen. He said there was a Scouser called Barry who's lad was an Everton fan and he gave him shirts and boots etc. Not so sure you'd mistake Barry Owen for a Scouser. Perhaps someone might know if Corney had a Scouse mate called Barry. What I do know, it was Barry Owen who got Baxter to come back for the 2nd time so I don't think Baxter would have done that if Barry had indeed denied the deal. In fact Mo constantly had a pop at Barry over the signing of Baxter and blamed him for signing a player who's legs had gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
