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.
