54-46 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Bloke was a proper goal machine. Except when playing for England when Hoddle claimed he needed half a dozen chances to score a goal - mind you Hoddle did spout a fair amount of shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yes folks, we proved it was possible to sell Cole to Newcastle. I wonder if its too late after 25 years to include a sell on clause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my overriding memory of that game, for some reason, was Leroy Rosenior going through 1-on-1 and noticing for the first time, what a bizarre running style he had. He later explained that due to knee problems, he had pretty much had to develop a new way of running to accomodate his injury. Basically one leg went round in a small circle from the knee down, with every step. It looked very odd, but he was a top player.

poland_exile Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 amazing player, a different class. Some of the best goals: Boro when we were down to 10 men and Jacki put him through. Millwall away. Leicester at home, that was the game we knew we'd stay up I reckon. The next season, Pompey in the Dolman, blazing sun, Jacki and Cole taking the piss, Cardiff home 5-1.

Correct. As I recall Keegan said he was prepared to pay us £4m for Cole. We let him go for peanuts, and no sell on clause. Talk about mis-managing the business. Terrible cock-up.

WelshRobin Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 One of my earliest games was BCFC vs Ipswich, 18th April 1992. Ipswich were pushing for the league title (which I believe they did get that season). We won 2-1 and I'm pretty sure Andy Cole was one of the scorers and Rosenior got the other. Was sat with my Dad in the old family area and got Martin Scott's autograph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I wasn't the only one buzzing when Man Utd bought him from Newcastle - at the time 700 grand from a 10% sell-on was very decent wedge. Then came the news, ah, umm, we forgot to put it in. Calamitous. Loved the 90s era, but as a club we were all over the shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ipswich game, I remember it for Jacki's 'escape to victory' style flick over the head! I'm sure there was even a smoke bomb in the Grandstand, I think the first pyro I'd ever seen at football (it was feeble but so exciting for a young teen!)
