The Hibbert Agenda
Player Valuation: £20m
Fact is our best performers in derbies have always been the fighters-- Naisy knows the hostile physical environment of a derby so well-- actually seems to thrive on it. Hope to see him featuring.
we will need them, they will target the likes of barkley early in the game.Fact is our best performers in derbies have always been the fighters-- Naisy knows the hostile physical environment of a derby so well-- actually seems to thrive on it. Hope to see him featuring.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I would probably start Naismith over Miralass for this game.
Miralass can be brought on to be the lone striker when Barkley or McCarthy get sent off!
OK - I'm not going to recount all the bad memories as you no doubt know them all. I'll just reel off the wins:
Home
1-0 1971 - Davy Johnson
1978 - Andy King 1-0
1981 - 2-1 Eastoe and Varadi (the pie eater)
1985 - 1-0 to Everton (Reserves) - Wilko
1988 - 1-0 Wayne Clarke ends their run
1991 - 1-0 Watto knocks them out the Cup
1992 - 2-1 Beardsley and MoJo - a rare come from behind win
2006 - 3-0 AJs game
2009 - 1-0 Gosling
at The Pit
2-0 Lineker and The Rat
1-0 Gary Stevens
also a win in Steve Heighway's Testimonial at The Pit..
obviously too many raw memories - don't get me started - but the 2-0 win Arteta and Cahill was a great way to come home from hospital after emergency surgery (not counting it as wasn't at the game).
Not to mention Grobbelar.
When I injured my hip, my dad bought me a telly for my room. I was only 15 nod quite academic and from there on in, quite bed ridden, it was Joe Royles first derby I think, ferguson and rideout both scored.
for me, encapsulates that entire era for me, with Goodson as noisy as I can ever imagine. Ever. Noisy as [Poor language removed].
