Torps for me. Limited technical ability and got a lot of stick, but strikers alongside him usually ended up with 20 goals. Had some great battles with opposition defenders (the mullering of Futcher, winding up of Sodje, sly elblows in on Ellender etc) and scored a number of important goals. His 2005 era mullet was a joy to behold. Departed on a high in that championship winning L1 team.
Also, Kenny Milne – the club legend we were cruelly denied.
Didn’t help that the balls into him were pretty cack, but Beck’s aimless flicks were never going to be collected, even if he’d had a runner alongside. We had plenty of build up but no cutting edge or end product once Whitehall went off; limited to feeding Fadera and Roberts and hoping for individual brilliance – and in end we got lucky with that. As for Whitehall – he shouldn’t have gone in on that challenge, he was never going to win that ball.
