The Thomas Gravesen Appreciation Thread

[Wat Tyler]

Technically he was an excellent player, great first touch, very inconsistent, until his final season where Moyes played him further up.

Some of you are doing a crap job of appreciating the Grav in his very own appreciation thread.

Met him twice about 2 years apart and he remembered me, first thing he said was "i have met you before yes?" Was fairly stunned by that.

Nice bloke. Enjoyed him as a player too.

I used to work in a bar and every Saturday night I used to go for a McDonald's at the end of the night for the staff. I remember sitting in the drive thru at the McDonald's on edge lane about half 1 on a Sunday morning looking behind me and seeing Graveson driving a metro suited and booted argueing with Radzinski. He kicked Radzinski out and wouldn't let him in till he picked his food up haha all while laughing his head off

Think his looks made him be portraited as a hard man, but he was actually not that tough on the pitch but rather a brilliant playmaker. Was so gutted when we sold him.

Those six months before Real Madrid signed him he was genuinely world class. Lots of inconsistent ups and downs otherwise but you could never question his passion or commitment!

Utter loon,...

What a guy.

For all the stick Bent got about his abilites as a footballer, his first touch for the last goal is excellent. Got away with a bit of a shocker with the second tho

 

[roy vernon]

He was not a hard man, he was a very committed footballer who gave his all for the blue jersey. He was also a very gifted footballer with an excellent first touch. There have been many others, since he left, who could have taken lessons in commitment from him.

Succinct and to the point, that should put it beyond doubt.

Thanks very much Roy x

Big Dunc sorted this bluff merchant out!

Gravesen said Duncan Ferguson showed him how to man up.

Love all these poster calling him a blag hard man.
