Inferior Acuña Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 One of Laurent’s forgotten about screamers! Funny one that - beat them 7-1 on aggregate I think! That Olympiacas had just dropped out of the CL, the one Gerard scored the famous goal against. Link to post Share on other sites
Ankles Bennett Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Find it quite astonishing that folk can say that based on 33 games. How come it took 14 months post-injury to announce his retirement? Because we haven't seen anyone better even after playing hundreds of games. Green was simply the best. He could give opposition players a 3 yard start and still beat them to a loose ball comfortably and then accelerate away. Brilliant dribbling skills a thunderbolt shot from distance and could ping a long ball pass to feet. He literally terrified defenders and his career ending injury was caused by the only way he could be stopped by fouling him! Link to post Share on other sites
Optimistic Nut Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I love how every NUFC fan over the age of around 60 swoons over Tony Green. Seen clips of him for Scotland v England and the win at Man U after we lost at Hereford and he looks amazing. Wish there was more footage of that era with him and Supermac, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Sima Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It will be the same for Ben Arfa in about 30 years time. Link to post Share on other sites
Optimistic Nut Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I went to a talk-in with him a few years ago and I’ve never seen a bunch of middle-aged blokes look more lovingly at anyone as that night. Link to post Share on other sites
Lazarus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I love how every NUFC fan over the age of around 60 swoons over Tony Green. Seen clips of him for Scotland v England and the win at Man U after we lost at Hereford and he looks amazing. Wish there was more footage of that era with him and Supermac, etc. He was before my time as a supporter - he retired before i was even born. But he was supposedly an outstanding player. And yes, I wouldve loved to have seen more of him on old vids. Link to post Share on other sites

Wish there was more footage of that era with him and Supermac, etc. You got a link for those clips? Not sure I've seen video footage of him but aye, my Dad is another one who would wax lyrical about him. Link to post Share on other sites
HaydnNUFC Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 What I believe is MOTD(?) footage of the win at Old Trafford. Wouldn't win there again until Cabaye smacked one in the bottom corner in 2013. Link to post Share on other sites

Mikky Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I’m guessing hooliganism between 1975-1985 would have been off the charts Link to post Share on other sites

Inferior Acuña Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I just watched Green Street with my American girlfriend yesterday and told her it was all a load of dramatic bollocks and not to worry about me at matches - won't be showing her this West Ham 'n all (hope noone was seriously hurt like) Link to post Share on other sites
George Bailey Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Was a rather 'charged atmosphere' at that game. 1980, god feels like yesterday. 41 years ago...jesus. Thankfully game/sport has moved on for the most part, still undoubtedly violence attached but certainly nowhere near the levels we had to endure for the majority of match going fans. Away games were gauntlets of fear, that's my abiding memory of going anywhere to see us play. London probably being the worst of the worst. Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkie Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Second leg of the Olympiakos pummelling 16 years ago today. Cracking win. Pity it all fell apart so dramatically two ties later. 14 European games in 14 years since Ashley arrived. One solitary season playing European football. In the 14 years prior it was 92 games across 11 individual seasons. This club used to compete in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites

reefatoon Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Loved that game. The amount of shots we had was ridiculous (was over 30 wasn’t it?). We absolutely destroyed them. Link to post Share on other sites
Paully Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Greet day this - “Jose Enrique, we’re in the top six” as he stood in goal! The comment about Shelvey FFS!! Link to post Share on other sites
Anderson Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 He'd been terrorised all day too by HBA, to the point that being chucked in nets was probably a welcome relief. Probably the most enjoyable game from that side. HBA & Cisse at their absolute best, Carroll booked for diving, Jose in nets & Kenny wandering about like a lost old bloke.

xLiaaamx Posted Wednesday at 09:24 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:24 It's doing the rounds today as its 3 years ago so going to get ahead of it and say I don't like that Leicester clip. So many hospital balls when we had a chance to get a hold of it but it's treated as class because we went in for 50-50's. Link to post Share on other sites
