General NUFC stuff

Hughes could dish it out but couldn’t take it back, the man was a protected bully and a coward

Agreed, he was a proper dirty, niggly cunt but one of the best 'volleyers' of a ball I've seen.

Bruce 12th ahead of Roeder! Gullit got is to a cup final too!

Gordon Lee’s record seems similar to Pardew (random 5th placed finish) but with a Cup final, yet is miles behind him. I know he had a bad reputation for the way Supermac ended up leaving, but he should be above Pardew?

Surprised them cunts didn't put him first.

The window licker is defending the big nosed cunts position in nearly every article.

I've heard my dad sticking up for Gordon Lee in the past, said he was a bit different and didn't mind ruffling a few feathers.

My dad hates him. Mentions a story how in his first training session he told Supermac ‘this is how you take a throw in’.

My dad is the same.

To be fair, he might have been ahead of his time given how shite we are at keeping possession from our own throws.

Every time I see David Batty play I realize how much better he was than given credit for.

Yeah, so many goal highlights from that era he gets the ball and turns and moves it forward really quickly. That was key to the plan of course. Decent player.

Yeah, under rated at the time. He’d piss on every single one of the likes of Winks, Rice, bland English midfielder, today.

I think he's similar quality to Winks, not that I remember very well. Winks is pretty busy and energetic.

He’s miles better then Winks

Batty was a super super player Kanji[/member]. I had a ST during his time with us and he was a top player. A great addition to the team. He really moved us on a level imho.

Mad how he's gone completely incommunicado now. Literally, career finished, disappeared.

Iirc he didn't particularly enjoy football in general.

Strange that because he seemed very popular amongst his team mates etc.

I'd heard he would go to training, work his bollocks off, go home and very rarely socialise etc.

It's true. He admitted he didn't like football. It was simply a job to him.

Batty was a fantastic player, he had it all really. Was hard as nails and could pick out a pass, was so tidy on the ball. You look at the soft cock no hopers we have now playing that role in Hendrick and Hayden and it's fucking depressing how miles away they are.

My impression was he was a very private guy as well, not the flash type at all.

Yeah - he certainly wasn't flash.

Batty was one of my favourite players at that time. Just brilliant

Well he didn't quite have it ALL. Shit penalty taker

aye, this is true.

As I've posted a million times he was, and probably is, my ever favourite player. Was a member of his fan club and everything , will have to dig out if I kept any of stuff I got through it.

Yep, at the time same here.  I remember the team i played for at the time, I would wear the number 4 and channel my inner Batty and run around kicking people. Was a true inspiration.
