I remember this being a pretty big result for us at the time.

Me and my dad avoided the results all day, so we could watch it "live" on MOTD. We were last on, so both assumed it had been another Walter Smith 0-0 special. Until to our complete surprise, Gary Naysmith bags a last minute winner. Woke the house up dancing around the living room.

....the tackle.

I remember him scoring late at Bradford, that stand behind the goal was shocking, the front rows all on the same level, terrible, I went and stood at the back by the stairs, one of the worse views ever had at a premier league game, great celebrations thou when he scored!

Securing us a place in Europe in 07 with one of his last touches for us in a 3-0 win against Portsmouth. And the early gallant performances that led to comparisons with Roberto Carlos in some quarters...

Unsworth I think mate.

Yeah just looked Unsworth and Ferguson.

I have no memory of Gary then

Oh jesus Christ, I actually paid money to watch that team

From what I recall, we signed him and David Weir close together, both from Hearts for less than £1.6m combined, which was a bargain.

Naismith was a decent player while he was here, always gave his all & had a decent left foot, but just lacked a bit of pace.

I remember him getting a brilliant assist for Campbell in his debut away to Newcastle, cross/pass behind the defence late on and I think we won 1-0. Think he had only been on a few mins as well. I remember thinking we had unearthed a gem.

He's still playing?!

 

[Azzurri]

Scored in the AJ Derby at Goodison didn't he?

Scored first goal of the Moyes regime didn't he?

My favourite memory of Gary Naysmith was him getting loads of credit for stuff he didn't do.

 

[4737carlin]

Scored first goal of the Moyes regime didn't he?

Was Fulham after about 12 seconds, volley from edge of area.

I thought it was Rhino as well, at Derby

Scored first goal of the Moyes regime didn't he?

Unsworth scored that goal we were at home?

Scored a cracking free kick away to Tottenham once. Apart from that, utter poo.

He scored an amazing free kick to make it 3-0 to Everton against Tottenham at Goodison one year. I remember it well as it was the last match I went to see at goodison. I went with my best mate in Liverpool who supports Tottenham, he was understandably gutted by the result as he was fully expecting a win against an utterly mince Everton side.

I forget the year... mid 90s.

A forgettable period in our history

 

[ricardobee]

He was no li weifeng that's for sure
