Bob The Badger Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It had to be said, that most of what I have read was on Twitter, and I think the typical reader of this board is smarter and more well informed. But, I'm surprised at how many people have knocked Ramage on his playing ability (not that that is even relevant). Technically speaking, he was a good player and many pundits during his early days thought he was headed for an international career. His issues at the highest level were two-fold, and both similar to Nigel Clough. He wasn't quick enough to be elite. And he didn't score enough goal. But, to say he wasn't a very good footballer is nonsense imho irrespective of what has gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 He was a very good midfielder. Kris Commons type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 He was very very average for us, in fact I would say not even that good....he had a good time at Watford but never did anything for us (beside score against Forest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 He reminded me a little bit of Melchester Rovers star player I'd definitely say his style was Roy Race-ish anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't quite have the pace or ability to drift outside of Commons, but definitely similar in ability to strike a football. Nigel is the closest I can think of, although Ramage is a kippers dick lower in ability. FWIW, NC would have been a world beater with a bit more pace.

Im 57 too (1962?) but sadly you earn the right to know about kippers dicks, I can't just share it willy nilly. in all honesty,the only time I heard the phrase was when I was working in West Bromwich for a couple of years around 2001.
