johnnyboy Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Just wow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiCJfeO-JHw
The9 Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Not news to anyone over 35 but awesome nevertheless.
Colinjb Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Not news to anyone over 35 but awesome nevertheless. For those of us under ........ Just insane how talented he was.
shurlock Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 That first goal against Trabzonspor is all round wtf, defending included.
Dan Johnson Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Just wow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiCJfeO-JHw "He played out of a good organisation" He was quailty, one of my favourites! why I was so thrilled to have him here. He is a Barcelona legend, it's kind of like having Xavi or Iniesta manage us in 20 years...
Goatboy Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Someone on Twitter should send this link to some of the Saints players.
The9 Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 "He played out of a good organisation" He was quailty, one of my favourites! why I was so thrilled to have him here. He is a Barcelona legend, it's kind of like having Xavi or Iniesta manage us in 20 years... One of my concerns was that he'd be living off his name and people were judging him on playing ability not managing. After 9 months I'm more than happy to accept that he's bloody great at both.
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Love the goals, but even an official YouTube channel manages to f*ck it up with stupid music.
andybeal Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Good to se him smack a couple in past Toni Jimenez at around 13.30 mins
bpsaint Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 That is the first footage I've ever watched of him as a player and all I can say is wow. Easy to see why he is a Barca legend, some of those goals are pure class and so important especially the Champions League winning free kick. Incredible goal scoring record for a player that was predominantly played at Centre Back.
Miltonaggro Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 From the mid eighties until the mid nineties Koeman was world class, and a real problem to overcome for any opposition manager. My favourite player of that era. Also, a fierce competitor and a real hard case, and it's amazing how laid back he seems in management.
SO16_Saint Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 With penalty tekkers like that, you'd think ours would be more convincing
Colinjb Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 With penalty tekkers like that, you'd think ours would be more convincing If it was that simple Le God would be managing Barcelona.
saint si Posted 12 April, 2015 Posted 12 April, 2015 Before the summer was probably best known in England for this match... In fact, both Koemans were playing. And also until today I had no idea that Van Gobbel also played in that match (last minute sub): http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-koeman-leaves-england-in-tatters-referee-condemned-as-ronald-koeman-escapes-red-card-to-break-brave-resistance-with-deft-freekick-1510736.html
Golden Balls Posted 13 April, 2015 Posted 13 April, 2015 Some unbelievable goals in there. Great music too.
torsaint Posted 13 April, 2015 Posted 13 April, 2015 One or two looked as if they were travelling even faster than Rickie or Matt who managed around 90 mph.
Batman Posted 13 April, 2015 Posted 13 April, 2015 (edited) Remembe watching the 1992 European cup final (todays champions league) on telly. It was Barcelona v Sampdoria at Wembley. Koeman scored the winning goal he looks a bit like this in his barca days.... Edited 13 April, 2015 by Batman
The9 Posted 13 April, 2015 Posted 13 April, 2015 Remembe watching the 1992 European cup final (todays champions league) on telly. It was Barcelona v Sampdoria at Wembley. Koeman scored the winning goal I watched it in Wessex Lane as a freshly-recruited-to-Saints' cause student, we ran a telly out of someone's window and put it on a chair on the grass outside, and had a 20-a-side kickabout on the not-very flat piece of grass next to the railway line at half-time (with the owner of the tv particularly concerned as one of the many slopes ran towards it and a lot of the people watching were drunk and not footballers to begin with). Back when the European Cup was still a proper cup, and all that.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 26 March, 2016 Posted 26 March, 2016 I don't speak a word of Spanish, but I ended up watching large parts of this match anyway, fascinated. Koeman's goals is at 2h01m. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wSfG3W8AUI

Dellman Posted 26 March, 2016 Posted 26 March, 2016 His free kicks and penalties were expert, perhaps he could sort ours out by giving Virgil the penalties (if we ever get another)
DuncanRG Posted 26 March, 2016 Posted 26 March, 2016 His free kicks and penalties were expert, perhaps he could sort ours out by giving Virgil the penalties (if we ever get another) I was half expecting Van Dijk to take our penalty against Liverpool. In the absence of a specialist, he's the coolest head.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 March, 2016 Posted 26 March, 2016 I was half expecting Van Dijk to take our penalty against Liverpool. In the absence of a specialist, he's the coolest head. Did we ever find out the story behind the choice of Mané?
Badger Posted 26 March, 2016 Posted 26 March, 2016 Did we ever find out the story behind the choice of Mané? Neither JWP or Tadic on the pitch at the time, he was next in the pecking order.
DuncanRG Posted 27 March, 2016 Posted 27 March, 2016 Did we ever find out the story behind the choice of Mané? Think the above post is right, but he went straight for the ball when it was given. I remember he did the same once before but Fonte ran up and overruled him because JWP was the pen taker.
Fatboy40 Posted 27 March, 2016 Posted 27 March, 2016 Good video, top music, anyone got any orange or raspberry 20-20 ?
david in sweden Posted 31 March, 2016 Posted 31 March, 2016 Before the summer was probably best known in England for this match... In fact, both Koemans were playing.

Lawrie McMenemy (then Eng. asst.manager) restraining an angry Graham Taylor when early penalty claim was refused. Also..... Erwin Koeman was a pretty tough CB in his day, too. Lucky to stay on the pitch after that tackle......
MbaleSaint Posted 31 March, 2016 Posted 31 March, 2016 I watched it in Wessex Lane as a freshly-recruited-to-Saints' cause student, we ran a telly out of someone's window and put it on a chair on the grass outside, and had a 20-a-side kickabout on the not-very flat piece of grass next to the railway line at half-time (with the owner of the tv particularly concerned as one of the many slopes ran towards it and a lot of the people watching were drunk and not footballers to begin with). Back when the European Cup was still a proper cup, and all that. I was at Wembley for that match and if you'd told me then that Koeman would be managing us 20+ years later I wouldn't have believed you.
