Interesting article I thought https://x.com/MartinBFootball/status/1869546258190520617?t=QE1zGQC-B6pOEZCLwNGvWg&s=19
Not sure where you’d fit him into our current system but what an exciting player he was! I suppose you’d have to just pick him and build the current squad round him. Probably could say that about most of the guys from that era.
I think I read he had the highest pass completion rate of any of our players in the premier league season, the goal he scored against Leicester City in the Championship is one of the best.
Cracking player who used to terrify opposition players with his pace but good lord he used to wear some honking clobber, once dropped on him in Regents park one satdy neet and he was wearing an oversized safari suit, he looked like one them shrunken heads off Beetlejuice......sithi.
Defenders didnt whether they were coming or going. Having to keep tabs on Bullock and then Marcelle (or vice versa.) When one replaced the other as sub.
Once heard it said if they took the wall out at front of Ponty he'd av gone straight up Oakwell lane..
I remember him taking on England Centre-back Sol Campbell, and dumping him on his backside with a deft body swerve. Absolutely brilliant!
I remember a game once where he dribbled the ball all over the place, got lots of opposition out of position, stopped dribbling and then played a square pass to an in-space Redfearn who blasted the ball home. Can't remember the opponents. Was good to watch.
