wiseowl Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Alan Groves - simply because he was the most skillful player I`ve ever seen in a Latics shirt. I don't mean he was the "best" ever player, but to watch him turn defenders inside out with his mesmerising dribbles was just pure magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 What do we call the next level down from club Legends? I'm not sure the likes of Peter Clarke Matt Smith or Jose Baxter should be spoken in the same breath as Ritchie Palmer and Holden etc. But we do and should remember and recognise them fondly do we call them cult heroes? So you have Legends Cult heroes Good players Average players Crap Really Crap Sonny Sefil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the match. For many years afterwards, the song from the Chaddy Enders whenever we played Luton and the ball went anywhere near their keeper was, "Kick him in the kidneys!"

When he was being treated they found a serious problem with the other kidney which they removed. Brave decision to return to playing I thought. I think we were in the middle of an amazing run- 7 wins on the bounce and 13 or so unbeaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
