Darren Powell

[Saint Charlie]

Out of 100 how good was this lad?

 

I will start the bidding at 39. He always tried and was good at roughing people up but actually pretty woeful as a defender.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thoughts?

[Raging Bull]

glass knees and a solid 25, no more

Dig dog to the forum please, dog dog to the forum.

[Saint Garrett]

005. Awful.

[Saint Charlie]

Think he still plays in the non league somewhere.

Hampton and Richmond.

To make a fraction, the . Would need to go before the figures. I assume you know that. Your current rating is pretty accurate, however. 5 out of 100 was roughly equal to the ratio of good games he had to bad.

I remember leaving my mums 50th birthday meal early so I could get to Saints vs QPR on time - got loads of grief for that, but tried justifying it when Darren Powell scored after about 45 seconds. I think lost 3-2 & Powell was typically gash for the rest of the game.

[OVER THE HILL]

I think he punched Shane Long in the mouth during one game so that must be worth a few points

Plus mitigation due to the fact the coaching received during his time at the club was most likely awful.

[suspect everyone]

13/100. Awful.

 

If we were losing towards the end of a match Dave Merrington would always demand we send Big Darren Powell up t'front. Ah the beautiful game.

Agrees/w over the hill, worth at least 20 points there.

50. For fifty pence, the shape of his head.

[Bucks Saint]

Fox is better than him, so i would say 3

[Doctoroncall]

I remember talking to a scout and he identified Powell as the weak link in the defence in what he did (eg. stay too close to opponent and was easily turned) and also was likely to get a booking with some dirty play!

 

not a great player.

[Lighthouse]

Glass knees

50p head

Toblerone feet

Turning circle of a North Sea ferry

As much pace as a herd of wild tortoise stampeding through a puddle of warm marmalade

Sent of at least twice for punching another player

All the subtlety and finesse of a WW2 air raid

 

Apart from that a good solid pro.

[dan abnormal]

[jjsaint]

Hmmmm. 39 is about right.

[thesaint sfc]

He had a nice personality.

[Chez]

if you needed a guy to trap a bag of cement, he wouldn't be the ideal choice.

 

I'd give him 8 out of a 100. He gave his all in games and in the odd one he was effective because he won some headers, but by and large I rank him as the least talented footballing professional I have ever seen at the club. Fair play to him for making a career out of kicking people

[saintedwill]

I always thought he had great potential...as a builder.
