    I agree mate. I wasn’t super excited with Ward but what a striker he turned out to be.

    More I think about this the more McPhail needs to be in there. To sign a player of his stature and experience when in League One, after everything we had been through with admin, relegation, Doyle, Rankin’s last minute winner, etc. It was such a positive sign we were on the up.

    Paul Wilkinson had scored about 130 league goals, the vast majority of them in the top flight before he joined us. It’s the equivalent of us signing someone like Danny Ings now.

    But did you get excited about Sheron or Wilkinson? I was never happy with the mo eh we spent on Sheron.

    I thought we were signing a past it Shipperley (we weren’t - he was brilliant) but I was excited about Dyer.

    But then I appreciate I’m in the minority of one whom always saw Ward as an over rated toe poker/goal hanger claiming the goals of others..... I’d say I need to re-educate myself with footage.... but then I’d have watched pretty much every one of his games for us first hand at the time to form this viewpoint in the first place.... from what everyone else thinks of him though, I’m open to considering that I’m completely wrong.....

    Fine..... :) i accept that may well be the case.... I just never saw it.... I used to read Keith lodges reports from the away matches I’d been at and think that he must have been at a different ground or making it up from the radio commentary, such was the size of the pedestal he had him up on.... .....now jan, you definitely could see playing his heart out everytime.....

    I didn’t realise only famous players could be quality. My mistake...

    Wilkinson? Yes, absolutely, he once took us to the cleaners with Watford. Absolute top quality player.

    I was too young to even appreciate us signing Hendrie really so it was a genuine question. Never fully appreciated Wilko’s goals tally either

    Cauley Woodrow for me.
    However, many years ago, there was an old bloke who went in Gilroyd Club. He always claimed Ronnie Glavin was a talentless show pony and couldn't hold a candle to Graham Pugh!:D

    Really good call. My friend told me that he'd seen we'd signed his favourite player.

    Wilkinson for me was a better version of Moore, in that he brought so much more than goals to the team.
