Stan Collymore

[* ORM *]

What is this obsession with Collymore?

Indeed someone that played 33 games for us and admittedly was somewhat special but then again 20 years ago so were we.

A special place in our memories but hardly a club legend.

Stan would of been better than Ricky Duncan as Director of Football !!

For a week maybe....

Just my opinion but I think Stan has a lot to offer, i just dont think its in a long term official capacity.

Apart from getting a CEO and £10k raised for the trust in a day. Woeful effort.

Except he didn't. We received only a couple of pledges out of that, we have chased a few of the others and hopefully a couple of those will pay.

I guarantee when he took this on he didnt expect it to consume the rest of his life.

I suspect that applies to many of us.

I can't say I'm entirely suprised.

He’s only the best player in the club’s history.

Without doubt ! Was unplayable at our level

Before my time, but I think Billy Best was meant to be quite decent.

him and Ricky otto have been the two most exciting players in my lifetime. Stan just walked through the oppo like they werent even there!

I use to like Gary Poole but that's only because he was our most expensive signing ever.

Wasn’t it Mike Marsh? I’m probably wrong ?

You are correct - £500k I believe

Sure and his name makes my dad go trembly at the knees but he wasn’t a British transfer record signing, an international, nor scored his goals at the highest level this club has ever played. Objectively Stan was the best.

I think Mike Marsh was a free-be, though he was on high wages... I could be wrong as well mind.

Didn't we pay 500k for Gary Poole?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Didn't we pay 500k for Gary Poole?

It was £350k

 

[blueblueblue]

I thought it was £400k

You could well be right... Blimey we did spend back then and that was 25+ years ago.

Talking about Mike Marsh, he was a great player as well.

I remember going to Roots Hall as a Dagenham F C supporter.......We were all over you in an F A Cup match.....But Billy Best scored the only goal of the game.

A great player for sure.....just a shame he absolutely hated his time playing for us!
