Tooj 17 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 37 years ago - the great Tony Green was forced to retire due to injury. According to many that witnessed him play - the best they've ever seen in a black & white shirt. We got Tudor from Sheffield and Hibbitt from Leeds, MacDonald from luton and Smith Aberdeen, but we've got the greatest the world's ever seen, we bought him from Blackpool, his name's Tony Green...

spongebob toonpants 4134 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I saw him play, and I think I may have said this before, my main memory is not so any specific action, but more the electric atmosphere and excitement whenever he got the ball. I was only a kid but I knew I was seeing something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a glimpse of it with Ben Arfa but prior to him I can think who was the last player who had that sort of effect. I'll have to give it some though.

Pedro Definteley, however even if you have a really bland team you can have that person that gets the crowd going when they get the ball, even if they are not in Pedros league. I suppose going by remarks on here, Jonas fills that gap for some where as Barton probably does it a bit for me. Struggling for names inbetween now and pedro.... Bellamy running from the half way line etc....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Tony Green was better than Beardsley, as for Dyer Tony Green is the sort of player someone like Kieron Dyer could dream of being until he was 200 and he'd still be nowhere near fit to lace his boots. We were going to see Tony Green in Blackpool or Bolton in September, until the sad passing of Jackie Sinclair. This is yet to be re-arranged. Hopefully it will be soon. I still have the cut outs of the day Tony had to retire, but didn't realise today was the anniversary. Simply the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My dad actually loves Tony Green. Wish I'd seen him play so I'd know what he'd been banging on about all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 4134 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 He only played 33 times but is still a legend to all that saw him play. That tells you all you need to know. In all the "what if" moments in Newcastle's history, the thought of what we might have become if he hadn't been injured is perhaps the biggest regret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in posts where you're essentially calling other people stupid. Easy solution. Withdraw your post number 17, the thread was going fine until you started behaving like an utter prick. You can also reply to my post about Mike Ashley, instead of behaving like an utter prick in that thread too and attempting to blame others for it. I'll leave you now, because you are fast becoming the new skidmarks with your obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
