I think this was the only time we have ever had the best player in the world in a particular position play for us in modern (i.e. since 1945) times.

Quote from: eric woolban woolban
Henrik Larsen?

No, not 'Henrik Larsson' but a Dane with a similar name.

Remember watching him in a reserve game at Walsall and err, that was about it.

Against Man Utd wasn't it.  As I've said on here many times, he was the most out-of-condition player i've ever seen.  It was a shame as he looked a cracking player in Euro '92.

Probably because after every Reserve game at Walsall, he was necking a few pints of Gas Water down his neck in the "Players Lounge"

Before Chesham Utd, He was with us as a trainee but was not offered a professional contract.  That was way back in 1999 or 2000, can't really remember the actual year.

Don't think anyone has mentioned john Fashanu yet - truly a low point for the club. Every photo of him seems to be in that disgraceful red green and black stripe muller abomination of a kit too. did he only ever play in away games?

No. I remember him having a physical battle in a home game with QPR. He was taken off in the second half. The cynics suggested it was only to get his teeth fixed so that his TV career wouldn't suffer.
