Payton Is A Legend

Dunno how the hell he didn't win the player of the year award the season he scored twenty goals.

 

He was also

a right mardy little so and so who didn't fit in with the rest of the team. Things improved dramatically when he left - team spirit went thru the roof & we got promoted.
Good goalscorer though

 

didn't we get promoted the season he left.....??? nt

 

'kinnel, his chin is huge......

yes he got goals for us, but for some reason, I never took to him, and didn't really like him


the chinny fecker

 

RE: didn't we get promoted the season he left.....??? nt

he left end of 95/96

 

Naked, in a wardrobe 'looking for kids Christmas presents'

Legend.</p>

 

It's amazing what you find when you google "Payton" AND "Wardrobe"!!!!!!!!

"Burnley striker Andy Payton was offloaded on loan to Blackpool in disgrace yesterday 72 hours after appearing before Burnley magistrates, who heard that he spent Sunday evening at a pub before writing off his Volkswagen Golf GTi against the side of a house.

Police then broke into his estranged wife's home, after Payton abandoned his car, and went upstairs, where, the court heard, they found Payton, half-naked, in the wardrobe. Payton's defence said he was looking for his children's Christmas presents. He was fined £750, given 80 hours' community punishment and disqualified from driving for three years."

 

RE: 'kinnel, his chin is huge......

Never liked him either. Think it was his lazyness, but then he always got goals.

 

Cracking goal scorer though but a mardy little bugger nt

 

RE: Cracking goal scorer though but a mardy little bugger nt

too true.went to watch a league cup tie at darlo,sharted to him"put thi sen abart payton".he flagged me off.******.

 

scored the perfect hatrick for us

1 with each foot, then 1 with his head. Other 'mardy' forwards that were prolific goal scores includes: Alan Clarke, Alan Shearer.

 

went drinking with him,tags, brendan and deniol around penistone he was giving it the big i am, i've played in a glasgow derby right arrogant ****

 

RE: Payton Is A Legend

Best player I've seen at Oakwell for playing along the line of defence. Brilliant how he would just track along the line and then make the run through as the ball was played.

 

Yes

And saw him at end of our promtion season in a bar in Magaluf, that was a few days before we saw the Sheff Utd team including Carl Tiler in the same bar a week after they lost playoff final!

 

I remember losing twice in a week to Huddersfield at their place. 3-0 in the league and 2-0 in 1st leg of league cup. Payton scored 3 in the second leg and Sheridan was put into centre midfield to kick Bullock who never had a touch.

Was that the hat trick you meant?
