Aye. Great song too.
Ferguson and Wes Brown
- Thread starter Relevated
- Start date
At least he had the courtesy to score an own goal for us when he played for Sunderland. 5 own goals in 300 plus appearances is probably the going rate for a center back tbf.
Had to be doneI knew some weasel was gonna beat me to this one.
I was going to add "well, if you lot above can make up utterly nonsense stories, why can't i"
This is why I'm glad we haven't gone in for Kane, those old ankle injuries will hamper him in a few years.
He was the best academy player to play for us since the class of 92 broke through even till now. I remembered Sir Alex said Wes would have been the best centreback in England if he could have stayed fit when he was younger.
I remember the days when he just brwned the attackers and left them on the ground with a good hard tackle. Such a shame we rarely see these kind of plays with attackers starting to fall even before there's any contact.
Shame he was prone to major injuries especially early on in his career. Would’ve racked up a load more appearances otherwise.
I agree. Wes was highly regarded as a youth. But Rio was on another level. When he was coming through at West Ham, Harry Redknapp and the London press were boldly labelling him the next Bobby Moore, he was that good.
Wes was quick and agressive in the tackle but as he's mentioned lots of times before he's a pretty much laid back dude.
How do you carry 15 milkyways in your hands.
I was having a shit in the ground floor toilet of a hotel in Malta. Suddenly, I heard someone rush to the window (which was open) and scream "Oi! Ya fackin' dumper!"
The guy rushed off but I turned around quick enough to get a glimpse that it was indeed Wesley Brown.

For some reason i read the thread title as - Ferguson and West Brom.. i was then expecting it to be about the 5-5 result in SAF's last Premier League game
In a seriousness though, I remember the champions league where R9 was giving Rio and co the runaround, Wes comes along and clatters him in the box, interestingly the ref did nothing! 
I remember him getting up straight faced like nothing happened with a very bemused Ronaldo wondering what it was all about.
Total no-nonsense defender.

Ferguson on Wes Brown
"I think Wes may be one of the best players we have ever had, not matter where we play him. At 21 years of age, he is going to be a phenomenal player. I think he can play anywhere on the pitch.
He has such a massive influence, with his instinct and reading of the game. He has a drive about him."

Did he say something like that about Phil Jones too?
I actually know his cousin in real life.
He played RB well all season, had to step in as CB in both legs vs Barca (Vidic injured), and did great there too.
Yeah he had a great season that season. Obviously he wasn’t going to displace Rio/Vida but cover RB excellently well. That was my favourite squad we ever had. This season we have a squad that is exciting too
Random side note, brown was excellent at rb in 07/08 though he's remembered that year for his semi final performance at centre half. Lovely assist in the final too
Is he/she big and bad also?
I thought he was really good at RB in that period and Ronnie had freedom to do whatever he wanted as Wes was a defensive rock behind him.
He scored against the scousers at OT that season too.
And later forgot about it in a quiz haha.He scored against the scousers at OT that season too.
Fergie was pissed off about the number of brown og's in the 90th minute so shipped him out.
Was a good defender Wesley, shame about the injuries but he served us well.

I hear Fergie hated the movie reservoir dogs so Mr Briown had to go
Wes Brown was quick and was one of the hardest tacklers but he gets too tight on his man and gets turned easily when he plays at CB. Fergie is not the kind of person to sell a player because of a couple of own goals. Fergie would have sold him because he felt that there are other better options.
No, he's small and bad and very clever
Question for long time members: didn't Plech claim Wes Brown had a kidney shaped head? I think Plech also said Brown was orange.
Wes Brown is 75% baked bean.
Oh I yes I remember many posters calling him Wes Orange
Crossed the ball for that Ronaldo header in the CL final
I think Rashford has taken the mantle, I mean he has had a couple of consecutive 20 goal seasons and if he was playing in a stronger team his contributions would have been enough to help win a couple of trophies.
I knew his cousin too but only in a dream
