A real fiery temper too, which sometimes got the better of him but added to the sheer unpredictability of his play.

The back-heel king. He must have spent hours in training practising his back-heels.

And the Thigh Slapping King. He learned that in the hope of a post-football career in panto. He had one season at Great Yarmouth in male private Widdrington.

Quoted from diehardmariner
LJL was a good target man but he was replaced by an even better one in Amond.

Amond wasn't big, strong or quick but he had great movement and knew how to hold the ball up.  He made himself a target for the pass rather than the traditional idea of a 6'4 target man who the ball is just lumped up towards for a flick-on.


And he bagged as many goals in one season as the Shop did in 2 1/2

Amond wasn't a target man. He just wasn't. Good movement and intelligent play but he covered half the ground off the shop. An entirely different type of player. They would probably complement each other.

LJL chased things down into corners, he was relentless and never stopped hassling during his whole time here, regardless of the type of form he was in.  

Amond ran the line far more effectively than LJL ever did.  He made himself available for the best pass, if that was short, long or in the corners, he made himself a target for the passing man.  Shop didn't make himself a target, he reacted to where the ball went.  

Once the ball reached Amond, we kept it.  As hard as LJL tried, it often bounced off his head, knee, shin, whatever.

Yeah he only scored 20 goals in one season but suppose he did miss about 40. UTM

^ This.

A "target man" doesn't have to be a 6ft brute to challenge for headers. Amond could use his core strength and his body to shield the ball and ensure it stuck. His movement was also different class to anything we've seen at Town from a centre-forward since we played in the Championship (and still is).

I do wonder if the people going on about needing a big target man will be the same people complaining when we're slinging high balls up to this target man to challenge for in the air?
