As a winger, made Terry Curran look like a quality signing IMHO
I only ever saw Curran look any good on two occoasions.Leeds when he scored to put us in the final and then against us when he played for Everton in that cruel game as he nullified Mark Dennis's attacking threat.

Those were the days, we used to count the number of crosses that Curran made that found a Saints player.

 

Apart from his goal during his career at home we had the count of crosses at - 1

 

Had a similar thing when Benali was at Left-back - Mr Distribution

 

Or when Russell Osman did NOT HOOF the ball upfield

 

Or when George Lawrence played an intelligent ball.......

Lawrence would go on a great run beating 4 defenders before skillfully crossing the ball to me. Unfortunatly i would be standing on the terraces at the back of the Archers.

If only you were exaggerating,he was poor, but his goal was crucial and many fans didnt rate Bobby Stokes and his goal was priceless.

I forget who it was, but a coach at Saints at the time said

 

George Lawrence is, without a doubt, the greatest footballer since Pele........

 

...................... From the shoulders down.

 

(In fact we often wonder how he remembers to actually breathe....) was the more PC gist of the next line.)

Never knew which gave us a bigger buzz that night, the fact we had got to Wembley OR the utter shock that Curran had managed to swing his leg in the right direction to send the ball towards the net rather than Southampton General Hospital (and yep it was scored at the Archers)

Before the final I said Bobby was the one player I'd rather not see in the team, but he had a good final with several other chances before he scored so that I said 'if he scores, I will personally write to him and apologise'.

 

He did, but I didn't.

 

If you're reading this, Bobby - sorry, and thanks!

Alan Brazil couldn't have put it any better. I'm assuming you have been hearing 'two differnet stories' about Bobby's death? ;)
What are those then OB?
