Catch 23 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/feb/28/seth-johnson-england]http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/feb/28/seth-johnson-england Dunno if this has been posted. Interesting article about, well, Seth Johnson playing for England. Although it erroneously states that we were bottom of the league at that point (19th, actually). Can't believe he's only 32 though.

Boycie Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I love Seth, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. What a guy, I wish he would find something to fill the void. I need a chap to knock boxes out for me, can't pay owt though, but he'll not want money will he? ask ken bates. Haha! Doing the dirty on the dirty!

AucklandRam Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Easily one of my 5 favourite players I've seen play for us, love Seth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Could do with a player like him in our team now to give it a bit of 'fear factor' Loved the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious02 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Get him on Radio Derby as a match summariser. He gets to watch Football and talk about the game he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 what a true Derby legend- love what that big girl blouse Boateng said about him! He certainly was a hard tackler but not dirty- just full blooded! If he is really struggling finding a new passion we should get him back at the club in some capacity- even if its helping out Gordon! Feel sorry for the guy after reading that, especially as his last game was the Wembley one and no-one really noticed what had happened due to the occasion and we didn't get to say a proper goodbye to the bloke. Does he still live local does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's so sad that he is in people's top 5 of players they have ever seen play for us.... a decent player, but not in the top 50 players i have seen play for us, nothing against the bloke, it just goes to show you how short changed people have been over recent years. As for his England cap, almost scored with his first touch...great couple of days we had over there too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I really liked him, not the top 5 I've seen but can't fault his work rate. Legend's a bit strong?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 He is in my top 5, not because of his ability but because of his style and desire! In my top 5 liked but ability wise was at a similar level of Riggott, Christie, Higgenbotham, Delap...etc compared to the Ace, Eranio, Kinkladze (on his day) Stimac, Baiano, Strupar (when not dead and on his day)..etc they all had ability that superseded his!

inglorious02 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I really liked him, not the top 5 I've seen but can't fault his work rate. Legend's a bit strong?! I don't rate him in the top 5 in terms of quality, but in a game of so few characters and positive role models, he does stand out from the crowd. His loyalty both to Crewe and Derby, plus his down to Earth attitude set him apart from other players. It says just as much about the state of the modern game as it does about the man himself. Plus, we screwed Leeds with that transfer fee!

Ramshankered Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 My flatmate (Crewe fan) used to know him back in the day through folks at school. Apparently these days he spends most his time in pubs smoking & drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave 100% for the club, genuine, decent, ripped off Leeds, helped us to promotion- and didn't he break a refs rib once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
