Baldyman Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Interesting to read that our summer trialist who we rejected is now 6th top scorer in the Dutch Premier League this season ! As the great Captain Blackadder would say ....... "Bugger" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJS Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 The league is a much lower standard than The Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Not sure the quality is even up to the Championship but you have to like a league with a team called Go Ahead Eagles. Back on topic that Wolfswinkle striker who couldn't make the grade at Norwich has scored more so perhaps it's not a great achievement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Agreed that Dutch footy isn't what it was , the National side proves this I guess . Just interesting to see how the season for one of our trialists panned out . Wonder what happened to Kelly Roos ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Eredivisie used to be awesome in the 70's and 80's. Dutch, and teams from the old East German Oberliga, had some of the finest football kits ever produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a side the Dutch had at the World Cup that year ! Ari Hann, Jonny Rep and the Van der Kerkof brothers to name but a few ! On the subject of kits , I think it was about then that Coventry had their classic brown and white strip !! Priceless ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 For all of you not steeped in the history of the brown kit....it didn't go well with ginger. That's Ian Wallace, not Alan Brazil. I had the Wales Subbuteo kit of the same ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to research it, and replicate for a commission in the past. I had the brown kit by special order from Subbuteo back in the day. Rare as hens teeth now.

Red white and yellow home kit. They had a lovely purple away kit in the 70's too. Our friends from Willem II could tell you more about them.
