Silvio Dante Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Watching SSN on deadline day and Big Sam is the guest. Talking about Ronaldo and how he was when signed in his first Man Utd spell. Sam: “I felt sorry because we had a young full back, Nicky Hunt. Ronaldo turned him every which way and you couldn’t do anything to help Nicky” Has anyone seen a bigger mismatch involving a city or ex city player?

I remember Lee Johnson bottling a tackle at the gate with Kalifa Cisse when cisse was at reading. It was pretty embarrassing. Physical mismatch and a half that was.

Bit harsh in mcindoe, he was never one that was going to fly in with diving tackles but I thoug the t he used to get stuck in and battle.

cidered abroad Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Mike Thresher against Sir Stanley Matthews. Every time Stan had the ball, the Threshing Machine took it off him. Matthews got his own back in the replay because Thresher's eyesight wasn't too good in foggy nights in Blackpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub-question - What is City's most mis-matched opponent? I was at the game where we beat St Albans 9-2 in 96/97. I recall us being underwhelming against Harrogate Railway?

The Saturday Boy Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm sure I remember Micky Hazard playing for Swindle against Andy Llewellyn. Hazard pulled him out of position all match, barely touched the ball and controlled the game. Anyone else remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillred Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 After watching England v Hungary I don't think it would be too unkind to say that as far as international matches go that's up there with the the most one sided game I have ever seen, if it had been a boxing match so many towels would have been thrown in the fighters would have been buried.

Oh Louie louie Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Swindon had one of the best midfields ive seen here tbf.

Offside Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I vaguely remember a game in the 90s when our manager put Junior Bent up front, marked by a 6ft-plus defender, and the team proceeded to play long balls to him. Needless to say Junior didn’t win many headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with McIndoe and Sproule we had 3/4 of a decent hurdles relay team. Lee would run under the hurdles. To be fair to the man, in his last season or two here as a player before going northwards, he did start to get a bit more robust in build and he did actually make the odd tackle. Not often, mind.
