Cisse Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I'm watching an old game in which Craig Bellamy just scored a goal. I remember he was sometimes a handful for his own team also. As I'm bored as heck I was thinking that people could share their favourite stories about good but difficult players over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Brolly Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I could tell you a story about 3 Derby players back in 2019 involving a pub, vomiting, racing cars and legging it from the old bill but you might have already heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Nile Ranger must be the greatest lost cause in football. El-Hadji Diouf was a prime Bamford too i often think Anelka would’ve been tough to manage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Balotelli and Di Canio were both excellent players, but bamfordism is also strong in both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 One not so famous but incredibly " bogey" for Derby is Lucas Jutkiewicz at Birmingham. He seems to always score against us no matter who he plays for. Mart Poom proved quite tricky from corners too. Phil Gee proved the rule of not selling your goalscorers as they often come back to haunt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "difficult to handle" refers to them being reputed to be "very naughty boys", rather than being adept at their trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 There’s been a few over the years, can imagine the likes of Zlatan et al aren’t the easiest people in the world to manage. Think the one that astounds me most recently was Kepa refusing to be substituted for a penalty shootout. Imagine him trying that with Cloughie, Robson or Ferguson, he’d have been dragged off the pitch by his nostrils and never seen at the club again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Maradona had some off the field issues. Tbf its easy to get distracted by coke, mafia and girls, when games are only twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Roy Keane was a fantastic captain for Manchester United, but his behavior with Ireland at the 2002 world cup shows what could've been had he not been lucky enough to play his club career under 2 of the most charismatic, yet authoritarian managers in football.
