david in sweden Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 released by Preston ! NO !!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to suggest the obvious, but to spare a thought for a brave hard-working fella' who always gave 100% for us ...even if the Premiership was ...a bit above his level. (Recalling stories, when he was newly-arrived and Strachan had 4 injured / sick strikers, he volunteered to put on a shirt despite being unfit to play !) NOT amongst the top goalscorers of his time, but a great provider who gave James Beattie a tireless service...... and more than a few assists. Hope he can find a good niche to play out his career. Good Luck Brett.
Legod Third Coming Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 6/5 he scores against us. 7/4 it's the goal that sends us down.
DT Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 He has gone to Blackpool Closely followed by Kevin Phillips' wife.
david in sweden Posted 30 January, 2009 Author Posted 30 January, 2009 He has gone to Blackpool OH!... that's BACK to Blackpool then, but he might still have a league career as I think he started with Accrington Stanley and now they are back in the league again. ( LEAGUE 2 )
St Landrew Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 He has gone to Blackpool Back to his old shooting ground then. Good luck Brett.
david in sweden Posted 30 January, 2009 Author Posted 30 January, 2009 Still is... Not a nice photo, as I recall him as having a friendly face, if somewhat " lived in ". ...but Iain Dowie, there was an ugly face!.....but another brave striker.
Scudamore Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Not a nice photo, as I recall him as having a friendly face, if somewhat " lived in ". ...but Iain Dowie, there was an ugly face!.....but another brave striker. What about this one? Brett attempting Blue Steel...
bridge too far Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I remember he always wore his socks rolled down. A real grafter - good luck to him.
Scudamore Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I remember he always wore his socks rolled down. A real grafter - good luck to him. So did Steve Claridge. A hex on him.
Colinjb Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 What about this one? Brett attempting Blue Steel... Almost....
Spanner MkIII Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Never really rated Ormerod, but he always gave 100% for the cause. I honestly thought that when we dropped down from the premiership Ormerod would come into his own. Wrong!
West End Saint Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 He did have a cracking song Posh spice is a slapper her knickers smell of cod and when she f u c k i n g Beckham she dreams of Ormerod. It always made me smile and I will love him forever for the semi final goal v Watford
Alain Perrin Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 One word.... Watford For that I will always be thankful (and I bet he wouldn't do the skiddy knee celebration on the local park as opposed to Villa park!)
Alain Perrin Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 It always made me smile and I will love him forever for the semi final goal v Watford Great minds etc.
BadgerBadger Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 He always reminded me of Nosferatu Scored a goal against Liverpool when we beat them at home I think - blimey the headey days of the Prem
Colinjb Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Looks more like magnum to me No way am I posting that on here, don't want to knock everyone out with its 'beauty.' Oh sod it, here we go:
Matt SFC Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5sQYPUYGY8o what a bunch of pathetic critters.
Deano6 Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5sQYPUYGY8o This would have been a good 30 seconds before he scored the winner against us if it was this season.
Calvin Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Please god know. I really don't think he is good enough for the championship!
JohnnyFartPants Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 No way am I posting that on here, don't want to knock everyone out with its 'beauty.' Oh sod it, here we go: I love that film. Utter stupidity from start to finish.
Deano6 Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Please god know. I really don't think he is good enough for the championship! I expect he already knows. After all, he's God.
southamptonfclegend Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 This would have been a good 30 seconds before he scored the winner against us if it was this season. I think this was the League Cup game where he had no such luck and it is a bad video as theres about 10 people singing
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 You couldn't fault his effort, unlike some other lazy narcissists we have had. For that alone I hope he does well.
Teddy Nutkins Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 (edited) Good luck,Brett, the header at Villa Park will stay in my memory bank forever, along with Stokesies goal in 1976. What a day out that was.:drinkers::drinkers:ee Edited 30 January, 2009 by Teddy Nutkins worded like stokesies goal was a header.
St Landrew Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I remember he always wore his socks rolled down. A real grafter - good luck to him. Not rolled down, but at 3/4 length and sat just on top of his shinpads. Looked odd to me. Neither fish, nor fowl. Slightly famous for the fact that in PES4 there is a little kit configuration where you can have your player sport the Brett Ormerod sock length look. This little pic from the Villa Park 2003 FAC semi-final illustrates: Pull those bloody socks up Brett..!
Paul Chuckle Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Best moment as a Southampton fan was Brett's goal against Watford in FA Cup Semi. good luck to him
JustMike Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 What about this one? Brett attempting Blue Steel... that pic looks like whats his name out of twin town
View From The Top Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 If goaldrought but if half the effort of Brett then he'd be a decent player. Brett, thanks for the Watford goal. The happiest I've ever been as an adult Saints fan.
Jonnyboy Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 We've got Brett Ormerod! Weve got Brett Ormerod! (I would take him back anytime)
SuperMikey Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I will always remember that goal against Watford.. was watching it on TV and I screamed the place down when it went in! One of my best moments as a Saints fan actually.
pilsburydoughboy Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 What about this one? Brett attempting Blue Steel... I would have rather signed for Man U says Bez, but the pills ,thrills and bellyache are ****ing brilliant in Blackpool.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Frustrated the hell out of me - his effort never seemed to result in a commensurate level of success, but compared to what we see nowadays this guy was world-class! LOL. Good luck Brett - you were a fine servant, if only to Philips missus. [chuckle]
Bakovnetski Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Sign him up. Always remember game against Citeh when he scored 2 in the first half and could have got another 3 in the second if it wasn't for Schmeichel. Always worked hard and was under-rated IMO for contribution as the runner feeding the main striker. Of course the Watford game too. Didn't the football genius leave for Korea because he was ****ging Brett's wife?
Saint_Jonny Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 Still is... really lives up to his nick-name of brett hemeroid there..poor lad is suffering bless im'.
S4INT Posted 30 January, 2009 Posted 30 January, 2009 I expect he already knows. After all, he's God. That received an official S4INT lol
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 31 January, 2009 Posted 31 January, 2009 Decent underated player for us and great striking partner for Beattie at the time. Apart from semi final goal one of my fav memories seeing him was at Anfield when he scored the opener in 2-1 win which meant we went 4th in the table. Happy days that seem a long time ago now.
Kingsland Codger Posted 31 January, 2009 Posted 31 January, 2009 It's not so much his goals I remember (Watford apart) but the way he set them up for others. 1) Robbing the Portsmouth defender of the ball that allowed Marsden (I think) to cross to Beattie to score in the 2-0 League Cup win. 2) A midweek game at West Ham (Nov/Dec 2002?) - it was 0-0 with only a couple of minutes to go. Brett broke down the left wing, crossed to Beattie and both Beattie and the ball ended up in the net. 3) A home match against Leeds (Jan/Feb 2004?). Phillips hadn't scored for a while.The Leeds defenders had the ball and were passing it amongst themselves deep in their own half. Brett chases one down, the Leeds player passes, Brett chases again and again the defenders pass, Brett chases a third time and the Leeds defender, under pressure, passes it straight to Phillips who scored. I always felt sorry for him when we were 3-2 up against Charlton and Brett had scored two. Into stoppage time he got a break and was one-on-one with the Charlton keeper - who saved it, thus denying Brett a Premiership hat-trick. Happy days.
