Tommy Gravesen

[N90]

Not sure what part of the forum too add this...

Anyone read his new book? I bought it but read the first part and realised its not a biography its just someone piecing together old tales about the dane.

....probably best in World Football or the ex-players thread.

This was uploaded on Everton's youtube channel last week what a character he was

 

[Yarrgh]

Is he still married to a model and spending his time as a high rolling gambler in Vegas?

Somehow I want to say he's wasting his life, but on the other hand, I don't think he cares what a chump on an internet forum says as he enjoys another day in his lifelong ideal of paradise.

Never really took to him, as I found his clapping the crowd etc when taking a corner fake.

Never liked Straq either as he wasn't good enough to wear our shirt.

I realise loads of fans loved them both though.

He was a huge phony with that side of his game, no doubt - he'd pointlessly go through the back of someone in front of the Gwladys St to get a cheer, but give him a real 50/50 in the middle of the park and he wasn't interested. Skillful player though so I didn't mind it as much.

It's so rare that we can see some actual effort, that we really get behind someone who shows something.

Stracq of course wasn't good enough, but he did his level best - like Niasse did. Can't be upset with them for being not good enough but lucky to get a contract with us, save the ire for who brought them in and get behind them is the only option. I did quite like our Stracq though, some players you can just warm to.

It's the likes of Schneiderlin and Mirallas that boil my blood. They do have a certain level of skill but for some reason don't give it their all when they whistle blows at 3 on a Saturday. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

He was actually a really good player. Gets lost in the recap of his career because he was also simultaneously a complete and utter madman.

 

[Walken]

extremely highly rated by those who played with him, for those 6 months before he left he was superb, really pulled the strings of a otherwise average group

 

[COYBL25]

He was either brilliant or rubbish, with no in between.

You knew within 5 mins what sort of game he was going to have,

 

[Ameen]

I remember watching match of the day as a kid and imitating the hands in the air eyeball popping Tommy Grav celebration in the intro

Looked a lot better than the likes of Gemmil or Stephen Hughes. I always have memories of seeing him & Nyarko looking really good in a preseason friendly at Goodison and thinking we'd cracked it

 

[magicjuan]

Met him once, asked him about Rooney and all he kept saying was 'where is the money? Where is the 'kin money' with his proper angry face, I even put my hand in my pocket looking for a tenner he could have. Nice guy but proper space cadet

 

[heatmeiser]

I still laugh when I think about this.

The proof being that Real Madrid bought him.

Although I’m not entirely sure they knew what they were getting lol

Grav Mk2 was dreadful.
