Boland is the midfield enforcer

They wouldn't even come out of the dressing room

Boland never said much

But he had those eyes

It's always in the eyes

Limited player but complimented Kavanagh well as a rule. See, you need footballers and skill otherwise the work of the battler is wasted.

The 2003/04 side won league matches at this level 3-0 (twice), 3-1 (twice), 4-0, 4-1 and 5-0. Can you imagine the current mob racking up results like those?

If we kept Morison maybe. It was just starting to click. We shall never know.

Tony Vidmar was also a better player than James Collins at that stage of their career and was a regular. John Robinson was also still a good Championship player.

2003.

Re: 2003 vs 2023 side - who wins?

strange to think looking back that we only finished 13th that season.

hell of a spine to that team.

good keeper, gabbidon and Collins would both go on to play premier League football , as would Kavanagh and Earnshaw.
