Has he mugged that ball back off of Tesco car park yet?

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Can't help but like Ricardo. For me for a couple of seasons at least one of the best left backs in the premiership.
Shame injuries took their toll.
Good luck to him!

Re: Ricardo Gardner
I remember when he first came over & was looking for houses. His mum wouldn't let him buy a place in Blackrod as it had trees in the garden and she believed that meant there'd be far too many snakes.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Not gonna lie, I'll miss having him round the place.
No fuss, hope he finds a club and a lovely fella to boot

Wasn't only KD who put the ball in the Munich net...

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Easily one of my favourite players, he just seems like a really nice down to earth bloke.
I remember that first goal he scored and listening to it on the radio, gave me goosebumps just listening to him talking about it.
Good look in the future Bibi!

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Nice interview (well, Gardner's answers anyway - I don't think Parkinson need fear much from the interviewer).
Just one thing - how on earth does Joey O'Brien sneak into that illustrious list of 'greats' he played alongside with us?!

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Hes a legend. Fantastic service he gave this club. And his approach to the fans and how he has gone about finishing his time at the club is a lesson to every footballer out there.

A certain Kevin Davies could learn a thing or two from Ricky.

Harsh, Bruce. JOB could have been a good player for us. He's certainly been seen as good enough to played 34 times for West Ham this season.Bruce Rioja wrote:Other than for him not being Nicky Hunt, I'm still stunned that Joey O'Brien ever sneaked into the team in the first place.

Seen him a few times for West Ham this season and he's been their best player a few times.
Better right back than Hunt, and a better right back than we've had since. No question in my mind.

Re: Ricardo Gardner
Really? I disagree. Poor in the tackle, couldn't carry it forward so tried to pump it up the line instead which always led to a throw-in for the other side. And injury prone. Tell me then, what exactly was he good at?BWFC_Insane wrote:Yeah this. JOB was good. Blighted by injuries but good.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Harsh, Bruce. JOB could have been a good player for us.
