It was actually meant to be a nod to Charlie who was one of the best players ever to grace Bloomfield Road and genuinely with Suddick my favourite ever player.

I was there too.
Normally went to The Criterion post match but that night straight home to watch the highlights.
Ipswich managed by Bobby Robson and won the UEFA Cup same season iirc.
A fantastic night and a huge scalp.

I never saw Tony Green play
Was he a better player than Charlie Adam or different style/position?

I saw both players. Charlie was more aggressive and passionate, whilst Tony dropped his shoulder and was off with his silky skills.
Both fantastic players. Older Newcastle fans still drool over TG.
We’ve been blessed to have both

Different styles - Charlie could and did regularly change games.
Both Pool legends for me, and I don’t use the word lightly.

Not a big miss...
Tony Green was a brilliant, old-fashioned 'dribbler' - I believe that if it wasn't for the career-ending injuries he would have been ranked alongside George Best.

So, not only is Charlie not our last midfielder from Scotland, Clarkson's also not from Scotland.
Apart from that, it's a good post @puggiz.

On your other account?
How pedantic can we get here? Jordan Thompson from the SPL, though on a free post contract expiry. Joseph Dodoo on loan from Rangers? Jim McAlister who was at Dundee, though again free post contract expiry. Can we do Isaiah Osbourne who we signed form Hibs?

That's pushing it a bit. Yes Green was a good dribbler but for me not in Best's class. Best was also a prolific goalscorer whereas whilst Tony scored
some memorable goals they were relatively few and far between. A great shame though his career was cut horribly short.

Ian Britton, great player.

When he was with us I thought he was the best player in the Championship. His football brain, foresight and eye for a pass is what we badly need now.

He was that good that the Gazette named their post match results paper after him, where Seasiders' legacy fans used to pick up a copy when alighting at the cemetery gates.
No ceefax , no t'internet -only the radio and the Green for those who couldn't get home for the final scores.

£35,000? The game's gone I tells ya, ridiculous money! There'll be paying £100,000 for a single player before you know it.

In that case I can’t remember a star player called Pink who played for us

Ferguson had an absolute outstanding attitude and mentality.
Like his elder brother before him if he wasn’t such an idiot off the field he could of been as successful as McTominay or McGinn

We did very well in the 60s taking players from Scotland at bargain prices . Midfield Tony Green Albion Rovers ,winger/midfield Tommy Hutchison from Alloa. Also full.back Henry Mowbray. Less successful, Pat Quinn . Ian Moir was a popular player for a while though came via Man U..

I know Pat Quinn wasn't with us very long but from memory he did well whilst here. I think the lure of returning to Scotland with Hibernian was too great for him to refuse. I'm sure we didn't want him to go.

Stephen Husband signed in 2010, looked useful as we led 5-0 against Swansea in our promotion season but then gave the ball away for their consolation and I don't think we saw him again after that.

I think he did manage to get his face in the playoff final photo.
He had a decent season at Dunfermline and then just disappeared

Tony Green was an attacking midfielder with amazing natural ability.
If I was asked to compare him to another player it would be Paul Gascoigne.
