Who were the last great pair of wingers you've saw at the city? (1 Viewer)

ScottShearerFanClub · Dec 12, 2011

I've always said this is definately our downfall!

In the last decade we havent had a pair of pacey, skillful wingers who can put good balls in. Good wingers will get you the odd goal and take the pressure of these goalscoring strikers we've been after. Maybe it's wingers we should be looking for?

Every championship team that's went up has had an out and out winger or two that have near enough carried the team by supplying and scoring. I'd say it's the wingers who make these great goalscoring strikers

p.s I blame SISU :blue:

TheBoss · Dec 12, 2011

Nick Pickering and Dave Bennett

TheRoyalScam · Dec 12, 2011

The last good winger I can remember is Steve Froggatt. The last pair of good wingers playing on opposite flanks I can remember are Peter Ndlovu and Kevin Gallacher. Then again, memory fades when you're 53!

Julian Gray,Micheal Mcindoe enough said,think we coukd have developed Liam Davis but there you go ,history with Coleman from Fulham days,Mifsud ,although he did'nt lke playing there.

TheRoyalScam · Dec 12, 2011

Mifsud's first touch was more often than not a pass to the opposition when he played on the wing.......

ICHAN · Dec 12, 2011

Best wingers I can remember.
Froggatt (shame his career ended early).
Nuddy (nice lad to talk to as well), Bennett,Pickering as for pairing beats me can hardly remember the matchs used to go to now, used to struggle then as well.

CUS Wyken · Dec 12, 2011

Ritchie Partridge was decent. Always remember his goal against the scum.

wingy · Dec 12, 2011

Quality Cus,Going back a long way RAY GRAYDON ,,,,,,,,,,tOMMY HUTCH too obvious?

curlyc_ · Dec 12, 2011

Leigh Jenkinson and Shaun Flynn.

Steve Hunt was quality - best crosser of a ball we have had.

Cheers Wingy - just for a minute I suddenly went all orange, started looking for property on the Algrave and a seat in the dugout......

Jordon Henderson?

strange how Sunderland Liverpool have converted him to CM ,looked so effective for us outside ,very direct with Beckhamesque crossing.So AT is'nt the only one to use players out of position,in fact only one that i know of ,remember Adams square pegs in round holes.

procdoc · Dec 12, 2011

We haven't had any decent wingers except for mcsheffrey (first spell) since relegation. Henderson and Partridge weren't our players

TheParsonsHose · Dec 12, 2011

Salako was dissapointing. I can remember that.

AFCCOVENTRY · Dec 12, 2011

Froggy was the last real winger we had. Pure class and ended by that twat Summerbee!!

skyblueinBaku · Dec 12, 2011

For a pair of wingers, Rees and Humphries would take some beating.

TheParsonsHose · Dec 12, 2011

Perhaps the best wingers we have seen are a certain chariman and vice chairman, perhaps the best of all time.

Yes he was quality and exciting good shot as well and would choose him but thats 3 I've chose, but Hunt did play central as well so I'll have them all in my team

If only we had 1 of them now.............dreaming

Nonleagueherewecome · Dec 12, 2011

Leigh Jenkinson and Sean Flynn.

Ha, didn't see this...great minds! I think that puts the Tricky Tiny Men in the lead so far!

Don't know about great minds NLHWC comedians granted.

ccfc1973 · Dec 12, 2011

Ndlovu and Bennett pure class

neilyboy67 · Dec 12, 2011

rudi kaiser and steve whitton

Skybluefaz · Dec 12, 2011

Hadji and Chippo on opposite wings. Effective for a season.

Don't thik Hunt was a better crosser of a ball than Hutchinson? Best pair Bennet and Pickering. Had gppd wongers on wing as mentioned but rarely a pair

city old boy · Dec 12, 2011

Rees, Humphris, Hutchinson, Alderton, Hunt, Gallagher,Bennett, Frogatt. There must be loads more .
Can you see Thorn teaching a winger the skills of the game what a joke.

To be fair i doubt if anyone taught Tommy hutch, benno and all the rest, it was natural talent something that seems to get coached out of players nowadays
