Most liked posts in thread: Jon Stead

Legend is a word bandied around too easily, but Jon is a true City legend just for that cup run and the part he played at Chelsea in what was the most perfect performance I have ever seen from a front man in any league.

To say he was unplayable and played the game of his life that day is an understatement. He was absolutely immense, and in these miserable times always cheers me up to watch it again.

Given the season we have had, he deserves a discussion in the main thread as a legend of some of the best years we've enjoyed rather than sidelining to the "where are the now" thread that has the same three visitors a day.

 

Will always be fondly remembered for his performances in the FA cup run, particularly his Chelsea goal and the assist for Yeates. Incredible.

 

Yes, that performance at Chelski was off the scale. His great strike near the end of the first half kept us in the game and set us up for the best 45 minutes of football I've ever watched live in my life. And the setups for the Halliday goal, and especially the Yeats goal, were superb.
It's still amazing to think that Chelski won the PL that season and were playing in the latter stages of the Champions League, but that we were the only side to beat them at Stamford Bridge all season. And every one of their players - starting and off the bench - was a full international.

 

I saw him being clapped from the pitch by both sets of players and wondered if that was the reason.
Wish him all the best in his retirement.

 

and he gave us the game of his life. Good luck Jon.

 

Yeah, good honest pro, did well for us. Good luck.

 

Best of luck in your retirement

 

Wish him well in retirement.
True professional and a great ambassador of the game.

 

Are you pleased with this one @abbomf being the staunch Harrogate Town fan you are?

 

Wonder what kind of deal he'll get. Must be hard to go back down to that level.

 

I've seen Malaga more times than Harrogate, grow up yer cheap shot merchant.

 

Wooooshh

 

Nice try, but wasn't really......

 

Why would it be hard, he's a very wealthy man, some just don't want to stop playing, remember Darren Anderton in Div4 at VP running the game?

I don't understand those that want to go out at the top, god, l'd play forever if somebody was paying me.

 

Don't lose your sense of humour will you, riveting fellow!

 

No chance of that with you boreman.

 

Will be with Billy Clarke
