Both Grimsby and Liverpool were denied victory over the weekend by dodgy, nay incompetent decisions about a late penalty.
Which one will be the biggest winger?
Which one will get the success of a Title or avoid relegation.
Hope our lads put the injustice to one side and use it as motivation to win in future games…….
Don’t let the burgers get u down!
I’m sure the scousers won’t.

I thought this was a thread about playing with wingers not one that was highlighting whingers.

Yep. I was looking forward to a Dave Gilbert and Gary Childs love in.

Either that or something about how they are now redundant with the all new form of Artellball…

intercourse it, let's have one. Mainly because of some stuff I was watching over the weekend on Twitter. Both were absolutely incredible in their time but it's Childs who I genuinely think would be a top, top level player in the modern game. When you watch back the old clips from On This GTFC Day his whole game was years ahead of his time. He was very capable of doing the traditional winger stuff, but look at the way he drifts inside out of possession, drags a player with him and releases space for someone else to exploit. But so much of our play was started by him dropping really deep and central, turning in possession and completely changing the tempo of play. The compliment to him came perfectly on the other side from Diddy who just hugged that touchline like his life depended on it. You never saw him drift inside out of possession and he would often be stood on his own with arms in the air, begging for the ball to be switched across to him. When it eventually got there the only way that ball was leaving his foot was if he decided so, his close control was just something else. You don't realise at the time how good it is/was. We've had some good wingers since, but for me none as good as these two. And certainly never at the same time.

Both before (first spell in the case of Ford anyway).
Ford was more a utility player when he came back, seem to remember him playing most of his games as back-up to Macca (I presume injured). I missed his first spell but he was still a bloody good player when he came back. In my eight-year-old mind he was an old man when he came back. He was 31...
Perhaps it's how the game has moved on but 31 seemed really end of the road, last roll of the dice type then. Danny Rose will be 31 before this year is out.

I started going to watch Town with my dad pretty much at the same time as Buckley took over so I was hugely spoiled as a young supporter with players like Gilbert and Childs on either side working their wonders. I also liked Tommy Watson too who probably would've been more prominent if it wasn't for Childs being first choice on the right wing.
