What bout that Henry lad?
What bout that Henry lad?
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Ray was arguably the best player of the Charlton era, although that miss at Wembley is indelibly etched on my mind. I was just talking about it to a friend recently.Originally Posted by paul_oshea
You know, i think i mentioned it on here before, but i always got annoyed by houghton when he was playing, i dont remember euro 88 properly, and 94 aside I have always had it that he ruined chances for us or made stupid mistakes. Revisionism through seeing and reading various accounts have me somewhat confused, but the example you gave has just reminded me why!! There are other examples too but i think i have mentally blocked them out. I remember Belgium, and thinking about fcuken time he did something right! I am pretty sure my brother and I were of the same opinion and his memory is better than mine on these things so I might ask him for more examples
Surely the most hated player of all time must be Roy Keane after Saipan. To have half the country despising you must be a record for any footballer, Henry apart. Ok, the other half loved him but 50% isn't a bad percentage on the hate factor scale.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Domestically I always found Larry Wyse's status among Rovers fans amusing. Only a few years ago I was at a function in London hosted by an Israeli bank. The key speaker was their CEO or somebody senior, Larry Weiss. I couldn't stop singing that song to myself and struggled to stop my lips from breaking into a smirk.
I always (said) knew you were a bit of a Jew!

If you want to talk about Rovers' fans of a certain vintage: Peter Thomas of Waterford (primarily because he was English and a good keeper as well).
