And very apt you mention him on the Huddersfield thread, PK.the other is the weakest link the defence has had in over 100 years
You've obviously never seen much of us over the years, anyone remember Malcolm Brown for one?
Thinking back, I think you're right. £250k or so. Peter Withe had been about £200k.Trewick was a big signing (in fact, record signing?) about 1980-81? I remember he scored in Newcastle’s biggest win of the season in the last game v Leyton Orient (3-1- wow - that’s how bad they were). He played initially at no 11, went out of the picture, then - when everyone had forgotten about him - had a short renaissance in the second half of the ‘83/84 season. I think he scored the equaliser at Blackburn at Easter time. Fairly sure he played left back for a spell.
Wile was a defender - centre half? Think the game referred to was a cup semi final (v Ipswich?) at Highbury which West Brom lost (‘78?)
Didn’t Trewick go on to win the league cup with Oxford, I always remember him as quite a cultured footballer, obviously not with us like.
we bought John Ryan and Malcolm brown when we got promoted in 84 Guy. Both of them were total gash. Ryan was quite pricey for the time.
What about that twin centre half pairing of bramble and boumsong? You would have to be going some to match those two.
I see the love in for Ashley is back on. We should be grateful that we can afford such a magnificent player for £20 million. Although I’m pretty sure Bournemouth do this on a regular basis. However, despite £20 million being the average price for an average player these days, that’s none of my business.
Glad to see the lads from Nottingham Forest get the plaudits again too. One can’t get on the bench and the other is the weakest link the defence has had in over 100 years.
Thanks for the reminder, yes he did. Why glove thief?I always liked Trewick, didnt Saunders the glove thief play around this time at left back or is my memory shot
