So many memories and what ifs... Just needs to stay fit,some idiot on here said we need a Big Dave -like player who could control the ball and bring others in to play.

The Fat Controller Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Just now, Engvall’s Splinter said: Way more than he was entitled too? Wasn’t he about 6ft 5”? Yeah, he was. Poorly phrased, I suppose. He often moved a long way to even stand a chance of winning the ball and at times won it at a decent stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I remember he was out injured for quite a while - several months Iirc. Had some kind of deep pelvic issue that was difficult to treat. We didn’t get to see him at his best unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 The problem was we never played any football and just lumped long balls in his direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice to say his time at City was painful. PS Here's a picture of Milan scoring the winner against Ipswich in March 2018.

Northern Red Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 He suffered at the hands of referees. Think they would assume that because he was tall, he must have been fouling the defender every time he had to jump for a high ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's Webster the season before he signed for City, was subsequently polished into a diamond, then sold for King's ransom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fractured his ankle during his debut of what was meant to be a 3-month loan spell. And he wasn't the only one. We seemed to make a habit of breaking loanees.

Taz Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) Can see why there was a mixup between Elokobi and Webster to be fair. Uncanny likeness....

The line in the D makes it sound like Dz in English, which is why when it's written in Roman lettering rather than Cyrillic you sometimes get it rendered as Djuric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players lucky (or favoured?), some not. For example, Kevin Davies and Lee Peacock were always penalised by refs whereas despite liberal use of elbows Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer were free to do what they liked.

A big unit Centre forward who was crocked on his debut for us, after signing on loan? He lasted about 30 minutes......... I can't remember his name?
