Just been reading a good article about one of our prolific forwards in days gone by - Brett Angel. He scored 1 in 20 - worst player I've seen in my time but that's by the by.
Just read that on his last appearance for us he was awful. He had been booked and made another fowl - apparently EFC fans joined in with the QPR fans in shouting off! Off! Off! (Bars in mind we had to win to stay up- which we did via an Andy Hinchcliffe free kick)
Any case he didn't get sent off but was subbed off. Once off he met Big Dunc in players lounge (he was likely suspended) - Big Dunc tried to cheer him up with booze!

By the time everyone else came in he was drunk as a monkey. He was vomiting in plant pots and also holding sick in his mouth when chairman came in room.

He was sold to Sunderland the next day where he was equally prolific.

We finished 17th that year - Southall, Watson, Ball, Ferguson, Rideout etc. Surely there has never been a worse forward in recent times - Bakayoko springs to mind possibly.

Without doubt the best and most prolific strikers I ever saw were Latchford Sharp and Gray. I'd give my left nut for one of those today ;-p.

Loved Latchford made it look easy.

Alex Young or Dave Hickson we would be top four no doubt.

Liniker was top drawer also.

Some of Gray's headers, is it any wonder some of the stupid remarks he comes out with now a days.
