Right I'm sat here doing nowt, had a couple of rums and reminiscing about the time (s) when we were good Chief Rocka you mentioned Westy & Nelse so got me on nostalgia lane.
In my lifetime, I've watched us since 1995, seen us scrape survival on half a dozen occasions in both L1 & L2, seen 2 promotions, 2 relegations, god knows how many failed play off attempts. Our play off record must be one of the worst of the lot. Much like the re-election tally.
Who are my heroes? Well Peter Beardsley was still class when he turned out for us, Norwegian international playmaker Jan Ove Pedersen is by far the best technical player I've ever seen us have at the Vic but they were all standouts in dodgy sides.
The best team I think we've ever had was the one who finished top 6 in L1 two year running. We Had Big Dimi Konstantopoulos in goal, the holy grail of Nelse & Westwood at the back, captain and fucking legend Micky Barron at right back the industry of Richie Humphreys and Tony Sweeney, the enigmatic flair of Thomas Butler the movement and quality Joel Porter and Adam Boyd up front presented. The Vic was a fortress and we did many of the bigger clubs over away as well.
Videos don't do any of them justice but here goes
What was your best team? Who were your standout players? Don't matter the level, just which side made you feel good and why...
