Opposition players who used to put the fear of God in to you

[SuperTonyEllis]

Has anyone got any players from opposition teams who you knew were an absolute threat and like scoring against us? Just watching the Forest v Pool second leg play off and one man I used to fear was Robert Earnshaw who seemed to always bag against. Billy Sharp is another. Any other names?

 

[Cleveleys boy]

Paul Barnes for York City & Burnley...
Always thought Kurt Nogan was dangerous against us for Burnley & PNE

 

[tangomonkey]

Leon Knight, always scored when we played Huddersfield

 

[Cleveleys boy]

Stuart Barlow is another one

 

[SuperTonyEllis]

Stuart Barlow is another one

Yes he is. Had forgotten about him. What about Brett Angel for Stockport?

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Leon Knight, always scored when we played Huddersfield

‘we’ve let a midget score with a header at the far post!’ as Steve McMahon so eloquently put it

 

[StanleySeasider]

Yes Earnshaw!

Maybe Ross Wallace too.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Ross Wallace.

Scored against us playing for Preston, Burnley and Fleetwood.

 

[DownToBloomers]

I think every time Billy Sharp played against us he scored, Vardy was another one who always played well against us

 

[Athers]

I think every time Billy Sharp played against us he scored, Vardy was another one who always played well against us

Beat me to it. Billy Sharp all day long

 

[Athers]

Like to add Lee Trundle to the list

 

[Stranny1870]

Stuart Rimmer of Chester City

 

[Tangerine_Dream]

Mark Yeates standing over a dead ball.

Remember him scoring two almost identical freekicks against us for Colchester i think it was.

 

[Athers]

Roger Eli, Mike Conroy and Kurt Nogan

 

[straightatthewall]

When he was at Wigan, I always thought Bryan Griffiths was dangerous. It was only when he joined us that I realized how Ginge could make someone look good...

 

[NewburyOne]

Shaun Goater and Luke Beckett for Rotherham and Chesterfield respectively.

 

[Davepick]

Denis Law, but I loved him.

 

[Chunkylad]

Big nosed Macken. Always seemed to be on fire when he played us. Depressing scenes at Bloomfield as the nobbers jumped around taunting us.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Craig Madden when he played for Bury, ended up buying him then he couldn't hit a camel's arse with a banjo

 

[stonerosed]

John Francis and Johnny Morrisey.
Had birthdays against our left backs!!

 

[TangerineBayern]

Brett Pitman, yes him that 'failed to agree terms' to join us in the Prem.

 

[Pun_1]

Another one for Paul Barnes

 

[Pun_1]

When he was at Wigan, I always thought Bryan Griffiths was dangerous. It was only when he joined us that I realized how Ginge could make someone look good...

Surprisingly Griffiths scored 16 goals in his first season, became a victim of the boo boys in his second season

 

[Seaside_Hawk]

Shaun Goater and Luke Beckett for Rotherham and Chesterfield respectively.

Didn't we nearly sign luke Beckett but his wife didn't want to come here or something like that

 

[Cleveleys boy]

Tony Thorpe another one for Luton & Bristol City

 

[Ghosts of Electricity]

When he was at Wigan, I always thought Bryan Griffiths was dangerous. It was only when he joined us that I realized how Ginge could make someone look good...

SATW - think when we got Griffiths he was way passed his best. He was excellent at Wigan.

 

[Ghosts of Electricity]

The little bloke who played on the wing for Bury, late 80s early 90s.

 

[AClockworkTangerine]

Nicky Maynard always seemed to score against us too. The 1-1 draw v Bristol City on the last day of 09/10 and I think his first goal for West Ham in 2012 was that 4-1 thrashing at home

 

[SydneyTangerine]

Leighton James of Burnley , always ripped us apart.

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Dexter Blackstock always scored against us except Play Off semi against Forest.

 

[SuperTonyEllis]

Some good names mentioned that I never thought of that I remember and some before my time

 

[basilrobbie]

Billy Whitehurst.

 

[22abus]

newby for bury - we tried to sign him but failed the goes and scores against us and gives it the big one

 

[clappers]

Kevin Land of the Giants Francis

 

[Longshanks]

Steve Brooker

 

[7YearCritch]

Sean 'Greasy' Gregan - whenever we played the Nobbers, always felt he'd be the one who'd ruin the day

 

[Rektseasider]

Mike Sherron. I remember him having amazing performances against us for a few years for Barnsley I think. One Tuesday night game at Bloomfield he torn us apart. Sat in the lounge that night with some Barnsley fans they couldn’t stop raving about him.

Signed him next season 2003 of memory serves me. I remember being distinctly unimpressed with him. Think he set up Coid though in the LDV final

 

[Scaramanga]

Another one for Like Beckett, terrorised us for years

 

[andrew_3-2]

I know he wasn’t anything fancy but I always thought that Zigic of Birmingham used to score against us, no matter how much of a barren spell he’d had.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

The little bloke who played on the wing for Bury, late 80s early 90s.

David Lee ?

Another one who ended up with us when past his sell by date, seems to be a recurring theme.
