Paul Warhurst

Good, good player.

However, when he played we used to have a little gamble between us about when he'd get injured. Divisor was a first half bet, often between 20-30 minutes.

His temper tantrum getting sent off v Leicester in the Boxing Day game was classic. I believe he actually tried to kill Robbie Savage. Regrettably he failed.

Glory days and happy memories! Just the last paragraph that was a choker, given hindsight all these years later...

Not having that. It wasn't a red. Riley had a shocker that day.

Frandsen was fantastic.

Some very short memories here. Warhurst was fantastic for us. Part and parcel of the side that got promoted and kept us up. Played as a holding midfielder later on under Allardyce, didn't he? Paving the way for Campo, if you will?

Sure as shit I' love him in the side anytime in the last 5 or 6 years to add a bit of backbone.

Agreed.

Great player - ultra reliable (when fit). The position of playing a deep midfielder sitting just ahead of the centre backs was invented for him. As such, what people now refer to as being 'The Campo Role' was actually 'The Warhurst Role' long before any bushy-haired Spaniard pitched up. Fond memories. Would kill to have one of his kind back at our place just now.

Hey. It wasn't a criticism of the lad ... except that he didn't succeed maybe.

All of the above re that deep lying midfielder role. He was fcuking class one of my fave players from allardyces days.

I remember a couple of poor back passes from him that resulted in goals but all in all a player we would love to have in the team at the moment.

I think it rather telling in itself, Riviman, that you remember a couple of bad back passes. These days I can't recall two gooduns!

Nice article Kevin.

Talking about Warhurst made me think back to that Tonight with Trevor McDonald show, where they hooked up Allardyce and Bassett to heart monitors. It was the 2-2 with Leicester where Riley sent off Warhurst and Deano for tackles on Savage. Hard to remember an atmosphere like it and still think it's the record attendance at the Reebok/Macron.

Trawled the Internet for the whole show but best I can find is a 50 second clip on YouTube. Apologies but however hard I try I can't seem to embed it again!

The record attendance was the following year when they didn't segregate the crowd. It was 2-2 aswell I think.

Warhurst was a brilliant player in his day. Incredibly versatile and did well just about everywhere on the pitch.

If it hadn't been for injuries he'd have been regarded as one of the best the premiership has ever seen IMO.

Obviously we had him towards the end of his career but he was class here in that DM role. He had grit and strength but oozes of class on the ball too. Not as technically gifted perhaps as Campo or Hierro but not far off and with a bit more English steel about him.

I think he was after that sort of opinion before he wrote his article

That's tremendous!

McDonald, Allardyce, Bassett. Rarely can three greater minds have joined forces on a single project.

Great article, Kevin. I take it that none of these shit 'strikers' you keep sending us will be receiving similar articles?
