Peter Reid

[Noble Savage]

I had to endure the weekly " he's fat , he's s*&t , he's never bloody fit , Peter Reid " in secondary school . It was riddled with the RS . Then when he went they used to have a pop at Stuart McCall. I could handle that , just shrugged .
Reid was magical. Imagine a midfield with him and Ball .

 

[Preki]

A pretty successful manager as well.

First game I went to was with the old man vs sheff wed - I was gutted as marwood nailed inchy near where we were standing (inchy was flying at the time - had scored about 13 and the Christmas decs weren’t even up) - just remember the reassuring comment - “don’t worry lad reidy will get him”. Few mins later and marwood is being carried off. Happy birthday reidy - one of the key catalysts for our last great team

Our current midfield would be completely embarrassed by the Holy Trinity, each of them could tackle, pass, run and shoot.

The Trinity all had a burning desire to be the best in every game they played and far more often than not, they were.

They never accepted being second best and single-handedly never mind collectively could change a game - without any shadow of a doubt, the greatest midfield trio this country has or will ever produce.

…interesting when you look at the stats for Kendall & Harvey. Kendall just 21 goals in 233 games & Harvey 18 in 320. A bit like Reid & Bracewell, two CMs who were not regularly involved in the top third but instrumental in making the team play.

Take note Mr Brands, those teams had significant goal contribution from wide areas.

Different game back then though Eggs.
The Trinity did so much work in breaking up the opposition to get us going forward with excellent width provided by Husband and Morrisey… and Bally was always looking to support Royle.

To some degree, Kendall adopted that successful Catterick format with rock solid defenders, energetic and combative, creative midfielders and fabulous width from Sheedy and Steven to provide the ammunition for Sharp, Gray and Heath.

Glorious, glorious memories of those two periods in our history, the kind of glorious football (and success) I fear we’ll (us older Blues) never see the likes of again.

Boy, do I pray I’m wrong.

…not a bad blueprint even for today, Andy. Kendall added real athleticism to his back four, Radcliffe was rapid and both full backs were machines capable of delivering fantastic crosses (Lineker said you only had to glance headers to score such was the quality on crosses).

At 65 he’d get in our midfield now,

I presume you always came back with "He's fat, he's round, he's worth a miliion pound, Peter Reid, Peter Reid", and reminded them that the Street End were the first to coin this particular ditty with "He's fat, he's round, his a**e is on the ground, Jan Molby, Jan Molby".
