Let us not forget that we have had a striker since Reddy in Liam Hearn that could have also been a top striker but for injuries.

If Reddy hadn't got injured in March 06 we'd have gone up automatically.

We'd probably be in next seasons Champions League too!

Just now I'd settle for any league above this one!

True enough about Reddy. Credit to Slade for signing him and playing to his strengths. Just shows what you can achieve with a striker who can make something out of nothing. I haven't checked this up but I seem to think Reddy was good at getting the crucial winner or first goal to break a deadlock. We could do with someone with that knack now.

I think in context of the division, Reddy was the best striker I've seen in a Town shirt.

Especially at that level you tend to get players who have an attribute of technique, power or pace.  Reddy had them all and for that six month period he was practically unplayable.   Throughout thhat video he looks like a man playing against boys.

What that video doesn't show is the work Gary Jones did to create so much space for Reddy.  Again, in context of the division,  best strike pairing I've seen.

That's the key phrase though. Second half of the season we were sussed out and we ended up losing out on promotion. Good though Reddy was, we became a one-trick pony.

Hmm Reddy vs Mendonca

On individual brilliance it has to be Reddy.


Really? 20 goals for a relegation team (2 divisions higher). No contest - the other way.
