CJ/Micky Burns

In absolutely the right order. Hutchinson may have been a better comparison, both tall!! The players we saw were playing 2 divisions higher

Only for one season with the Pool, 70/71. The rest of the time was in Div II. Suddick had a few more months in Div I in the latter half of the 66/67 season.
 
No comparison, although CJ is yards quicker. Burns played most of his Newcastle career as an out and out midfielder. Never went in his own half for us. Good player for both.
 
Different times. Mickley Burns was an excellent Div 2 player and a good Div 1 player. CJ is hammering Div 3 defences whilst having been quite good in the Championship. That's all that needs saying.
 
I never said CJ was the better player, I just said there were similarities. CJ likes to cut in from the wing and shoot as Tricky Micky used to, Micky Burns scored loads of goals like that but he couldn't tackle a player for anything, CJ has really improved defensively. MB will always be one of my all time favourite Pool players he and Suddick were my absolute heroes. I also really like CJ too and he will be a player I will always remember fondly.

go on then, when i played, i often played out on the wing and could cut in and score goals. Did it regularly back in the early/mid seventies. Suppose I can compare myself with Micky Burns then. Loads of similarities. 😉

Last time we went there was when we were all boycotting, so I went to the pub and stayed in the pub as my way of solidarity as I couldn't go to Bloomfield Road, anyway it was a really dull 0-0 if I remember?

Went to the Cambridge Blue which was a decent boozer to be fair. Don't remember much about the game😉

M urns also missed thousands of chances - he was often as frustrating as CJ or more do
