Miserable barsteward

...ah, eh. I like him lots, he seems a lovely bloke.

i’m just saying he was an ineffective footballer. Unfortunately for him, throwing a golf ball into the Park End from Gwladys St, or jumping over the bonnet of a mini meant nothing when it came to playing footy.

Tommy KKK Smith didnt like him,thats every reason to sing he is magic

Seems a nice fella as well.

And in full agreement with the above. Wonderful, wonderful man.

....I didn’t think he was a great player in any sense of the word, but it’s all about opinion.

It's hard to be a great player, but in a time under Bingham where we were classed as a boring team , and should have won the league, he was that type of player the fans needed , flare , class , cheeky - he lit the team up - Gordon Lee thought otherwise.....I admire him as he has always kept a strong interest in us after all the clubs he played for......he certainly entertained, and scored some good goals for us in his magical way.......

...I get all that, Joey. I like the bloke, I just don’t think he was a very good footballer.

...I get all that, Joey.

Yes like Big Dunc he was around as a talisman ... the fans loved him but imo never a legend, but a player who lit the team up in bad times.....

...absolutely, but still not very good.

Sums up his play.Very rarely any end product. But entertaining for what it was.

 

[davek]

...I was never a fan but I can understand why others liked him during that time.

Because he's an entertainer and football is an entertainment industry?

Duncan was all we had in the late 70s. He's far more of a legend than the other Duncan, thats for sure.

....as I say, I fully understand why folk liked him, Dave, but I was never a fan, just like you’re not a fan of Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka.

As with the ‘other Duncan’, neither are worthy of legend status.

I thought he was a good player. Dangerous and brought others into play effectively. His entertaining style of footy was not suited to Gordon Lee. He would try flicks etc when he should have controlled and held on. When he was a team player he was very good indeed just his trying to entertain at inopportune moments didn't go down well with the manager. He was a great entertainer and a very good footballer.
