[Dario Terracotta]

I love the way these appreciation threads bring out the best in you 'orrible lot.

Keep it up lads.

I'm thinking of Pat Nevin for the next one.

But please, keep on about Paul Bracewell.

I remember my dad being smitten with him.

No,closest was Horne and Parky for a time imho.

Aye another couple who probably didn't get the respect they deserved, dogs of war yes but they could still play. No Bracewell and Reid ,though....

 

[magicjuan]

I used to follow his game around the pitch, watch his positioning, how he read the game, sometimes missed other aspects of the game as a result, but I thought of him in a similar way to LCAB as the player that oiled the engine of the team.

One of THE most underated players we've had ever, and yes, I had that haircut too

Another like brace who's career was curtailed by an awful injury,parky could have gone on to have a great career with us and I'm pretty sure he'd have got capped for England.

His pass for the third goal here. If it happened today they'd be purring over it for weeks.

That team really was telepathic!!

 

[Barnfred 55]

My dad had it at the time too.

He was 26.

You mean I'm about the same age as your dad!! I thought you were about 60 ffs

No mate my dad was born in 58 but he was very young when he had me. I was his first too.

If ever you had to look for someone to put a tackle in ,take a pass and move, read your opponents intent Brace did it all.
A Great player in a Great team, one of the Workhorses as we call them but a very important part of the success that we achieved...
Loved the lad ..

The atmosphere there is incredible.

 

[CDTENERIFE]

I'm proud to be related to him, so am biased. Those clips remind us all how great that team was and where it could and should have progressed to.
