George Friend (remember him?)

[Wickford Blue]

Now being tracked by 3 premiership clubs! Weren't we on the verge of signing him but then found out we didn't have any money??

 

[OldBlueLady]

I always remember him for changing his shorts on the touchline at Brighton!!! :smile:

 

[danburyshrimper]

I expect about 10,000 Brighton fans "fondly" remember that too ..... :winking:

I certainly remember him getting regularly moaned about for being cr*p on SZ! Shows what we all know..

I thought he was decent and that it was Malone who was slated on here as he kept our future star Johnny Herd from playing at left back. We've had quite a few left backs over the years and they all seem to be doing well!

Scott Malone went on to play a decent standard where as Johhny Herd was found out.

I rated George Friend, didn't he miss a sitter at Old Trafford a day or so after returning to Wolves. Think it was in the game where Mick McCarthy infamously 'rested' 10 players

 

[Davros]

seen him play for Middlesboro in a couple of Sky games this season, and always looks decent. Works very hard.

 

[Ricey]

Scored for Boro against Wigan.

 

[rlb999]

Didn't we have him immediately after Charlie Mulgrew? And he didn't look half the player.

Nottingham Forest are preparing to make a £2 million bid for George Friend. Could be another ex shrimper scoring for two clubs this season :winking:

 

[sufclee]

Scored for Boro yesterday.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

97th minute equaliser for Boro at Millwall. Millwall were 2 up with 3 minutes plus injury time remaining.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Scored an OG today to give Derby a point at Boro, whose goal was also an OG.

A message from George Friend on his retirement, and on his new role at the club of Director of Football.

 

[Wickford Blue]

Really Liked him! Did he score a screamer of a free kick for us??

Yep the only goal in a 3-1 to Southampton. Was only with us a month but was unable to extend his stay because of the club’s outstanding debt to HMRC which led to a transfer embargo from the Football League. Cheers Ron you ****
