Waddle couldn't tackle a liquidised fish supper. He could have been an all time England great if he hadn't been so damn lazy.

And he didn't play on the wing for long before being converted to a second striker either.

 

Couldn't agree more. Waddle made one significant contribution to BCFC and that was the result/ goal at Everton.

 

A guy called Lyons................ hardly the way to describe a stalwart of 1970's football like Mike Lyons was !! Near on 400 top flight appearances for Everton ! Hang your head man.

 

I thought it was a poor example but hardly a suprise I notice there was no mention with regards the ball in from McCall that won Scotland a penalty which McAllister missed.

 

A little harsh mate, when ever he got the ball we all wondered if he'd another trick in his pocket to make an opposition player look dumb.
Sheffield Wednesday didn't mess about with Waddle in the FA Cup 5th round kicking lumps ouf of him.

 

Yeah but who was in goal? An overweight past his best Southall. Then he signed for us 5 years later to embarrass himself on live tv

 

I thought the referee on the day (cant remember who it was) was going to play on until Everton equalised , it seemed an eternity.

 

Hate to be picky Bronco but I think it was Chris Kamara who shouted to Southall in the tunnel "stay on your line Nev" that was after Chris Waddle said to Kamara that he thought he could chip him from near halfway as Nev had a habit of going walkabout.

 

Those were fun times at City. Yes we brought Chrissy Waddle in along with a very underrated John Tumble Dreyer, Gordon Cowans and later Andy O 'Brien. Also partly with the help of Romeo Zondervan we brought in quite a few foreign players, some with more success than others. The likes of Edinho, Rob Steiner, Marco Sas, Erik Regtop, Pinto, Oli Sundgot and a couple of others who only played the odd game before going home.

 

Or the odd 18 minutes, like the legend of Jari Vanhala

 

Forgot about him. I was thinking about Jacobson and a big centre half called Raul.

 

Raul D'Olivera ? Wasnt he the one that bottled out of playing at Barnsley and Kammy later said he had the heart the size of a pea ?

 

I'll never forget the arrival of Vanhala, it was like the second coming of Christ. In my memory, he stepped through a wall of dry ice and performed all sorts of flicks, lay offs and overhead kicks and would have turned us into the next Barcelona if his taxi home hadn't been waiting or if (in reality) he hadn't played like a school kid who had won a "play for Bradford City" contest and only touched the ball twice.

 

That's the guy

 

Bruno Rodriguez?

 

NO NO NO. Don't ever mention that name on a football forum

 

After reading the article I have lost any respect left for McCall as a manager. He sucks and he just needs to admit it.

I’ll choose to remember McCall as a player, but I want to forget that he ever managed us, this article proves it was right to sack him. We’d be bottom of the table if he were still in charge.
