Quote from: PeterWithesShin on March 02, 2019, 10:47:13 PMPlatt is one of the few players we had that consistently made us a far better side on his own. He was the reason we nearly won the league, he was the reason we didn't get relegated. Despite having the likes of McGrath and Cowans in the side, take Platt out that side and I reckon we'd have been mid-table at best in 1990 and relegated in 1991. Agreed. The balloon-faced gastropest.

He did not control games games like Mortimer and Blanchflower, though.

I'm hoping Stuart isn't too upset. He's not been on following the devastating blow of us winning and I'm just worried something terrible has happened. I've not read of any bridges collapsing.
