He's boss and I love him. Proper cult hero,

There's nothing quite like a Straq attack. Glad to hear he's doing OK.

Top lad, that Straq.

Although it's funny to think how we've gone from getting Count Stracula on loan that summer, to getting Romelu on loan two years later.

By the way, I'm still trying to persuade my friend to ask for his autograph because he's a distant relative of his. I will keep all of you posted on that.

Never said it was in a good division like...

He just decided he was gunna lash them everywhere for 90 minutes, and did. No one will ever give Kompany a harder nights work.

If you remember, early on in the game Howard sent one long, it looked like it going out for a City throw in by the corner flag where the Main Stand meets the Park End.

Lescott tried to shield the ball out of play, Straq came along, slidey-ed him into the gravel and won us a throw in while doing it.

The place went absolutely insane, it was f*cking awesome.

How many did he score again? Ridiculous to say Straqman would be better than Jelavic. That's just too much. He was more of a Sunday league player.

3.

1 more than Jelavic has managed in an entire year.

He could also stay on his feet, which helps when you're playing football.

So you are suggesting he's a better player than Jelavic? Lmao, you can't be serious.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I'd go out to say i'd rather have him i my team than Jelavic. Yes. Definitely.

Apart from goals Jelavic gives you very little.. and he's not scoring.

Strac, even though he didn't score very many goals he was excellent in the air, very good at holding the ball up and worked harder than any everton player ever has. He was also very very good at bringing other players into the game.

Never seen a strong a player as Strac at everton tbh.

Some misty eyed crap being posted in here imo.

Denis was gash, but with the heart of a lion. We could all see how hard he was trying & took him to our hearts because of it. But he was a truly awful footballer.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I think people make him out to be far worse than he was.

 

[malfosse]

Not the most gifted of players, but you couldn't doubt his heart. Good to see him still scoring.

Straq heading the ball when he was on the deck despite the fact that the whistle had already gone = incredible.
