Quoted from paddymariners


Would never call him poor and has pretty much proved that since leaving. Currently scoring goals for a club that's top of league 1.And don't forget he canned us, not the other way round. With better management he would have been much more effective for Town.


He was awful for the majority of the time he was at the club. Truly terrible then there was a transformation, just as his contract was about to expire. Make of that what you will.

JLAA was always a brilliant player, he was playing in a urine poor side that only tried when they was in the final months of relegation.. The runs he used to go on was brilliant just his finishing wasn't up to scratch.

Scrapping with Lee Ridley and bringing a knife to training were quite exciting.

Halsall.  Was promised by lyons he was gonna be our captain  for years. Paul emson - a matchstick who could run like the wind but was screwed if full back kept up with him. Neil webb was a fat useless blob that hardly moved lol. Tomm Widdrington scored a cracking goal on debut and thats as good as it got.

Sweeney. Technically one of the best players we've had over the last decade but no heart.
