InstaRam Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Always underrated, always felt safe with him in the starting lineup. Hope he does an equally good job now as a coach. hydraulic ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much misused term “legend” for me has to contain a number of elements, the more the better ! 1) games played 2j Trophies / promotions won 3) goals scored 4) long standing fan love 5) unique dreamboat performance in exceptional circumstances I haven’t quite created an algorithm for this but just because someone was here for a while or scored a great goal against Forest isn’t enough to be “legend” you can be a notable footnote in club history but to be a legend there has to be some extra magic .. what is it ?

Good model proposed there @jono. It is a multi-dimensional construct. Significant contextual factor also is that he had quite a step-up to make and nobody was more aware of that than himself; added to that he had been close to quitting the game but his period of time as a panel-beater made him re-think. No offence to any panel-beaters it is a noble art but football would edge it for me too. Bucko is a fine example of if you want something badly enough you will run through brick walls. And he developed hugely as a player because of that attitude. Remember THAT Pirlo-esque balletic 360 swivel at Sheff Wendy? That Florist winner? That Headed winner at Elland Road? Those sprayed left-footed raking passes to the left-flank. All sublime stuff for a so-called non-league player. Genuine legend. He’ll be an inspiration and if he instills just half of that quality into his U21 charges, they’ll be far better players for it. So pleased he’s progressing up the coaching ladder. jono and The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Complete legend in my mind, I have no stats to back that up. Just my view of his attitude, honesty and integrity. For me he always seemed to play to the standard of the players around him, when he had average players around him he was average, when there were better around him he was brilliant. Whatever, it always seemed to me that he loved playing for us and would have run through walls for Derby County… Pleased as punch for the fella… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Coached a friend of mines son back in his Mansfield days, so it's not like he's not had plenty of experience in the field, over a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
