Right....

I got that Fergie's 2000 goals dvd for my brirthday, and one thing I noticed was that Peter Davenport couldn't half finish. I was only about 8-9 when he was at the club, so remember bugger all about him. Was he shit???

A shaven Birtles, Cloughie sold us some shit.

Cloughie's men were renowned for being crap after leaving him. We certainly helped to prove this.

topper · 17th April 2008, 15:54

shit is not quite definitive enough

nowadays to be kind to Birtles and Davenport they'd be labelled - not fit for purpose

Wasn't he the top United scorer at that point of time?

Peter Davenport a legend? And I thought Icon was over-used.

UnitedRoadRed · 17th April 2008, 16:07

More cult hero or something like that

On a par with Forlan - didn't really deliver but did a bit of scouse-busting.

Yes, anyone who shafts the scousers has a place in our hall of fame somewhere, have to agree with that.

Errr, I think Ole Big Head Cloughie's Keano did so well for us. I forgive ihm for Gary Birtles and Neil Webb

Fuengirola Red · 17th April 2008, 16:36

He was shit , I think he fell foul of the strikers graveyard that United used to be ,but I can still see him scoring in front of the Stretford End against Grobbelaar and the dippers ...Ah memories

Bleeding good point, as exceptions go he is fucking huge. I wasn't just meaning sales to United, though, it's something that was often said at the time. Have to admit I'm too lazy to look all Cloughie's sales up, I'm just dredging up a memory really.

And Webb was unlucky, he snapped an achilles near enough in his first match.
