Going back to Ian Wright - wasn't that the match when after he scored, he gave a bit of stick back, but then ended up giving his shirt to some people in the crowd behind the dug out? Doug Out. *waves red card* *waves £ sign* *walks and chants a bit*

I think you're right. My memory is a bit flaky, but I used to sit behind the dugout at that time, and I remember him coming off with a couple of minutes left and I and many others gave him a standing ovation, to which he responded by applauding us.
The season before he'd been getting murderous stick off the Holte because he was missing the Cup Winner's Cup final through suspension, and then went and stuck the winner in at that end in the last minute.

I'll say this for him, he used to take some stick but always took it the right way.

This is sort of how I remember it too.

We played Ipswich at home one night in a cup match.  I think we beat them 6-2 and one Dalian Atkinson playing for them scored a superb chipped goal - anyone remember that?

Check out the arty picture of Dalian on Wikipedia

He looks like a bouncer.

Woodgate, for Newcastle, March/April-ish 2004.

And he was bloody good the other week, too.

Same for me.

Didn't he once give the Holte the wanker sign under his shirt when he was substituted? Or is my memory playing tricks?

He did, when he was walking backwards when Spink (or Bosnich) was about to take a goal kick.  He got loads of stick that day though.

Sitting in the Trinity I wouldn't have seen it. You can see why Wenger struggles.

I'd guess it was that game when he was suspended for the final.

[Darcy and the Curtains]

Glenn Hoddle - early 80`s.  Game ended 0 - 0  i think. He bossed the game.

[cdbearsfan]

Carlton Palmer always looked like a cross between Cruyff and Maradona to me. I don't know why we were never interested in him.

[Rotterdam]

Any of the Juve team from '83. Boniek, Platini, Cabrini and Rossi.
I was about 12 years old and in awe.

Erik Thorstvedt... always played a blinder against us
