Great question on Radio Five today

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

I was driving back from Dundee to Aberdeen this afternoon and listening to Radio 5.

One of the questions was if you could sign a player from your Clubs PAST.....who would it be?

The deal is that they would be at the same level as they were in there hay day for your club.

For me....it would with out a doubt be Brett Angel, a born goal poacher and scorer, always there when there was a lose ball of swooping corner coming in from Scully.

He was with the Blues between 90 and 93 putting in 115 appearances and bagging 47 goals.

Spinner in his heyday (or even early on in his second spell at the club) would be somewhat handy right now. that or er, Mark Gower, or Nicky Bailey..

 

[MK Shrimper]

Wayne Gray :D

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Wayne Gray :D

And on a serious note???

;)

 

[MK Shrimper]

Wayne Gr.... Sir Stanley of course!

 

[cockles is back]

simple collymore

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Wayne Gr.... Sir Stanley of course!

I was going to go for Stan or Freddy but thought that i would leave that to the younger contingent as they would not have had the joy of watching Edinburgh, Scully, Angel, Ansah, Austin....Etc

 

[Jam_Man]

As good as Angell was Collymore was the one who played for England....

Thanks, I'm in the younger contingent :)

Amazed you didn't go for Billy Best, that was your teenage years wasn't it :D

 

[Hazey]

Will older members mention Halse?

 

[canveyshrimper]

Thanks, I'm in the younger contingent :)

Well I would opt for Billy Best.

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

That is a fair comment and the stats would bolster your point but i would always wonder....would Stan have sustained his prolific scoring ability over a longer period for the Blues?

Brett =115 appearances and bagging 47 goals.
Stan = 30 appearances and bagging 15 goals

 

[Cricko]

Well I would opt for Billy Best.

Before my time H so I will have Our old mate Trevor Roberts.:angel:

Cheeky Feck!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

There's only one fan old enough to remember Harold Halse :cricko:

For me it'd have to be Sir Stanley of Collymore :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[Desert Shrimper]

1. Collymore
2. Eastwood
3. Belgrave

 

[maninasuitcase]

simple collymore

I'll think you'll find his first name was Stan, not Simple.

 

[Uncle Leo]

For me....it would with out a doubt be Brett Angel

I remember Brett Angell, never heard of that bloke though.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I remember years ago watching a video of some away game or another, and the commentator called him Bert Angle throughout the whole match

Anyone else recall this ?? And if so do they remember the opponents ?? I'm sure it was a Northern bloke .. possibly Sheffield United / Huddersfield ???
