GeoTheCiderHead Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Does anyone know whats happened to Greg Goodridge? Quality player, esp in season 97-98, his 2 goals v Burnley at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'm pretty sure he's back in Barbados, still playing for their national side. I believe he's also been guesting for one or two MLS sides in the USA.An all time great player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffleflap Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I remember when he used to step over the ball 3 or 4 times,beat the man and then the defender would catch him up and he would beat him again.On his day he was amazing.Off his day he was very frustrating.Bit like scott murry but with better technique.

Your having a laugh! Scott Murray on his day can be good - IF he runs at defenders and uses his pace to either get a shot in, or a decent cross. Trouble is he needs a run up to get past defenders - needs to push the ball past them and then hope his pace will catch up to the ball.Greg Goodridge on the other hand could keep the ball at his feet, still using pace run round defenders (several times!) then cut inside - and more often than not (this was his only bad side - he was greedy!) have a shot which would at least be on target and often scored.Who would you rather have if both players were on top form? Greg Goodridge for me every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought most of them ended up in the top row of the ayteo. The few shots on target he had normally resulted in goals though.I did enjoy his skill though and the ability to make fullbacks look like idiots. If only there was an end result to it though.

gazareth Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Goodridge scored some good goals but his shooting was generally abysmal. I can remember him cutting in from the LEFT and heading towards the centre of the edge of the penalty area, where he shot right-footed and hit the corner flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Greg had more skill in his natty dreads than Murray does in his whole body. There's no question as to who is the more skillful footballer and I'd pick Greg over Scott every single time.Goalscoring stats on the other hand are a little more in Scotty's favour...

AndyKat87 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 he was quality until he got fat, went downhill from there and Murray was perfoprming better, also i remember his step overs were good but didn't rlly always fox division 2 standard defeders but he does have more skill that scott, scott doesn't even attempt step overs he kicks the ball and runs!

robins72 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Loved those long throw ins I remember him struggling at Lutons ground though cos the pitch is so narrow!Still Goodridge was a well like player by his team and fans alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
