aussiesaint20 Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 Was unexpected, but class. Was hoping someone might have put it up on the net, but can't find it anywhere.. In the hope of sparking conversation - Victor's been a great signing for us, but the 'showboat' isn't exactly his strength. What other players have had moments that could be considered completely out of their footballing character? Delap and Crouch come to mind. Any others? I guess any of Rickie's rare misses easy misses could be put in that category. Likewise with Suarez not being a cu*t. Nominate away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow_Saint Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 Yeah I think Wanyama is quite skilful - he scored a lot of good goals for Celtic and played in a more advance role for them. We have him sitting in front of the back 4 which so far is proving very effective - kudos to him for making the transition so quickly and successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 Certain I saw Olivier Bernard perform a tackle inside his own half during his half season with us. That was remarkably out of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_O_Mac Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 Fabrice Fernandes positioning himself near a long range free kick and jumping with both hands in the air to stop it. The whole ground were looking at him as if to say 'WTF' and it's any wonder he didn't get sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole ground were looking at him as if to say 'WTF' and it's any wonder he didn't get sent off. Only would have been a yellow card, though it has inspired me to say "Fabrice Fernandes driving straight for goal on a quick breakaway and definitely not making crop circles on the half way line".

Ditto Bale taking a free kick in early 2006/7 season. Wouldn't say that was 'out of character' as we didn't *know* their character (or rather, their ability) at that point... Most of the other examples are pretty good though, because we'd seen plenty of the player and would not have expected it from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
