Yes pre-season games can be dull as dishwater. For me, the season can't start quickly enough and we can eventually get to see what Appleton's first 11 and formation looks like. Pre-season games lack the hard press, the passion and spark we get to see in a league game, but some of them over the years have surely have left a at least one or two memories that have stayed with us.
For me, the one I always recall was the first time I saw Trevor Sinclair play away at Wigan in the 1989 pre-season game at the old Springfield Park. OMG, his pace was electric and tore a shred off them. Every time he was on the ball he went on these mazy runs with the ball stuck to his feet and he completely ran the show. The conversation on the way home was all about Tricky Trev and what a star he could become - and he was.
Any others, or are they completely not your thing?
