I remember an away game at West ham in 1993-4 and we won 1-0. Right at the end of the season when we were in danger of going down. He was immense that day and pretty much single handedly kept them out.
A defense of Snodin/watson/Jackson and I...
Dont remember that one mate but i remember watching the 88 game on sportsnight and the dutch side had gullit, Van basten, Frank rijkaard. The koeman brothers. Real class dutch side. They won 1-0 with a late goal from gullit. I just remember...

Absolutely incredible keeper and if we look at it dispassionately I think he’s the greatest most talented footballer I’ve ever seen .
I’ve got a mate who’s a rabid RS and played at a decent level , he also considers southall the best player he’s...
