rossyrooney Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I did say it was re-launched Joe. Â I had a Sister in law that was absolutely football crackers, went to The Lane and Owlerton on alternate Saturdays, lodged Deano and Bob Booker and fed most of Bassets team, Her mister sat next to Dooley at all Uniteds matches and met countless players, but she would argue with anyone who said that Dooley wasn't the best player to grace the field for a Sheffield team, his accident was a grievous blow to football as well as him and one can only imagine what heights he would have reached.

Jim Hardie Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 There have been some excellent free transfer signings over the years and there are plenty these days since Bosman. But for transfers actually involving a fee, two of the best pound for pound signings for Wednesday were Ron Springett (£11,500) and Bobby Craig (£6,500).

JonBladesman Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Finest signings... hmmmm  Blades, Briane Deane (not sure which time )  Owls, without a shadow of doubt, Chris Waddle. What a player he was. How England could do with him now. Loved to watch him play. Not for Wednesday mind you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw47 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He wasn't as good as Waddle though:) Â How old are you? Â Waddle was a tricky winger with absolutely no bottle. I saw TC sort out Tommy Smith, the Anvil Iron. Â Smith acknowledged the fact in his autobiography 'I did it the Hard Way'. Â Waddle would have developed congenital diarrhoea if he'd have ever met Tommy. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sibon Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 How old are you? Â : Â Old enough to know the difference between Divisions 1 and 2 Â Currie was an exciting player, no doubt about that, but he wasn't as good as Waddle. He also played a substantial amount of his main career in Division 2. Waddle didn't do that until very late in his own career. Â Currie always struck me as a very pretty player, but one who ultimately lacked that X-factor that could have made him into a world beater. Â If you want to see Waddle's X-factor in full flow, get some videos of Paul Warhurst's goals as an emergency centre forward in 1992/3. Almost all of them are a result of Warhurst's pace and Waddle's vision and passing range. Warhurst got the England call up:rolleyes: Â Two fine players, no doubt about it. But I do think that Waddle edges it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Waddle was a decent player but a lightweight and bottleless, he was brilliant when there was no pressure but couldn't handle it when there was. Â Always remember him when asked to take a penalty, men walking up to the scaffold have looked more positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
