LeazesMag 0 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 should have been a good thread about the greatest player to have played for NUFC in the last 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16574 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 should have been a good thread about the greatest player to have played for NUFC in the last 50 years. ok...how can you compare a no doubt very good player who sadly didnt complete a season for us with Pedro who played 276 times for us and scored 108 goals? You appear to indulging in one upmanship of the stupidest (and dare I say most childish) kind just because you're old enough to have seen him play. Comparing players from different eras is pretty pointless at the best of times but this is fuckin ridiculous. And no, I'm not obsessed with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14002 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Come on Leazes, ignore the shite & tell me about Tony Green and why he's better than any other player for Newcastle for the past 50 years because some people would like to know!

Seriously. There is no footage. Even those goals for Blackpool don't show anything like how he played for Newcastle, his talent, anything. People can only talk about his pace, appetite, dribbling ability, the effect he had on the players in the team, his inspirational values. The sad thing is, when people like me talk about players like this, or anything else to do with the past to draw comparions with other players or situations, people just don't listen. I realise Gazza, Beardsley and Shearer were great players, but Tony Green was the most inspirational and best player I have ever seen play for the toon.

Tom 14002 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 It's a tough one because people will often call it nostalgia rather than a valid opinion. Would love to see a player who can cause such a stir in a handful of career games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see a player who can cause such a stir in a handful of career games though. I understand that. But - at the time - I [and lots of others] knew that we were watching a very, very special footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14002 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Is there any footage of the tackle that put him out or can anyone remember it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 canny like... Somebody like David Silva reminds me of him - well going by that footage anyway. Such a low centre of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WDP Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 We were on about him yesterday. The song Jonny put up that the old timers used to sing, I remember being in the goose and there was about 10 blokes singing that song like soprano's. Every old timer you talk to gets misty eyed and talks about him in the same terms kids of my generation talk about Beardsley, what a total shame he only played 40 times, the fact he only played that amount of times, yet is held in such high esteem suggests to me he is one of the greatest ever toon players like.

While I knew he'd only played a handful of games for us, I hadn't realised he'd missed an entire season through injury for Blackpool too earlier in his (short) career and it was their promotion season to boot. Fucking tragic. How unlucky can a player be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch old Newcastle video's the standard words whenever we scored were always "and there it is, and there it is", and of course the classic David Coleman "ONNNNNNNNE NILLLLL".
