Bruce Grobbelaar for Oldham in the 1997-1998 season.

Seem to recall he got quite a fair bit of stick from people in the pontoon (people waving notes at him) but to his credit he took it all very well and had a bit of banter with the fans in the pontoon as well. Liked the way he mimicked holding a fishing rod, pretending to reel them all in.

Suppose it also helps that we lost that game 2-0 but fair play to him.

Stan Bowles.  A very talented player.  Good dribbler.  Great entertainer in the Rodney Marsh role.  Ace gambler, or should that be "not a good gambler".

Kevin Drinkell.  Ok included as the first player (I believe) recruited by Glasgow Rangers when they came into money and bough loads of English players.

Gary Lineker.  Gland to see him mentioned.  We could have bought him when he was a teenage. Also, Golden Boot winner at the World Cup with 8 goals.

Barry Wagstaff.  Great Hull City player in the 60s.

David Cross.  Well he scored 4 goals at Grimsby when we had a great team.

we should extend this to ex-great players who were managers when they came here - in which case kenny daglish would be worth a mention. Any others??

Bobby Kennedy laid the foundations for Big Lawrie Mac, Pete, and he bought Sir Matt Tees back.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
