"superstar" impressions.

Re: "superstar" impressions.

Back in the Dave Jones era when we played Birmingham City, they were overwhelming promotion favourites and had David Dunn and Damian Duff who everyone raved about. It was one of those Dave Jones days when we played some unbelievable football, I was convinced the club was going to the top 😢. City, to a man were incredible and played them off the park. At the time I remember thinking Kerrea Gilbert was going to be a club legend for exploits on the pitch….

Gareth Bale in a Southampton side beaten 1-0. Bobby Moore losing it with Robin Friday who was making his City debut, an anonymous George Best in a Fulham side we beat 3-1. DeBruyne’s free kick under our wall. Suarez’s hat trick.

The boy was on a completely different planet to us

Who the hell is Nilson Callaway? I don't remember him at all playing for us but he's on our team sheet

That's one of the longest-standing ovations I've ever given to a City team. As you said, we played unbelievable football that day. :thumbup:

Was impressed with Didier Six in Jeff Hemmermans testimonial and Mark Walters as they were big names at the time.

I also felt in awe of Joe Corrigan and Frank Worthington as they were also household names, to a young fan.

I remember Eric Gates getting a hatrick against us in the FA Cup for Ipswich in the early 80s. They were outstanding that day.

Saw Mark Walters absolutely rip City apart in a Youth Cup game at Ninian Park in 1980 I think it was - he ended up having a good career, but I thought he was going to be a real superstar that night.

Paul Parker when he was playing for QPR at NP. He was lightning quick and pure class. You knew he was going to be snapped up by one of the top sides.

Laurie Cunningham, playing for Orient on a misty Tuesday night - late 70's

He was the only footballer on the pitch, I seem to remember.

Re: "superstar" impressions.

Youri Dyorkaeff playing for Bolton against us in a pre season friendly. Thought he was total class! Okocha played as well, but wasn’t a patch on Dyorkaeff.

Garth crooks took the piss as a kid for Stoke against us in the late 70's .
Barry Bannan still does whenever we play him as well

I remember that game but can find no proof of it, got a funny feeling it was a testimonial/memorial of some sort, would have been around the 2001 mark? Either way you're right, Merson was brilliant that day.

That’s it, a testimonial I think it was
