Blimey! Was it really seven years ago we all watched Harvey scoring goals like that on a regular basis for us?
I feel like he’s one of them players better suited to coming off the bench. Always seems to play well in a 30 minute cameo then gets a start & doesn’t deliver. Tomas Cwyka-esque. Cracking strike though!
According to Wiki, he scored only 5 in his 23 appearances for us. It may seem like "on a regular basis", because your memory has repeatedly played through his fantastic equaliser at Hillsborough. That really was a great goal and there was no better place to score it.
A goal every 4.3 games is very good for a winger too! That's not including his assists or actual minutes either!
Barnes and Ryan Kent ..... two players who did pretty well for themselves after leaving us. I bet we all said how crap they were.
No I think both were very popular. I loved Harvey Barnes and I don’t think I know any reds fan personally who didn’t rate him. The general comment was “let’s enjoy watching him, he won’t be here long”. As for Kent I really didn’t know what the fuss was about. But from memory I was in the minority and to be fair his goal in that win over Leeds glossed over things nicely!!
