Hope he gets well soon! Shame he probably won't be able to make it on Monday.

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
Life is so unpredictable at times. He' still a comparatively young man so hopefully he can battle through it and cope with surgery. So strange that now players hardly stay five minutes before moving on. Per Frandsen is an example of those, like McGinley, Gudni, David Lee, Ivan Campo and Kevin Davies who have moved on but who will be forever Whites. Very best wishes to a favourite Wanderer. Get well soon Per. .

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
Indeed. Saw them both make their debuts away at Port Vale. We left the ground questioning as to which one had actually cost all the money - a situation that would never change.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: Arriving in the summer after our fairly disastrous first Premier campaign (95/6), he was the makeweight in the double-Danish deal that also brought us diddy winger Michael Johansen
Anyway, Johansen was a good player but Frandsen was better.
A joy of a player to watch. Oh, and as for that goal against Boro in 2003? I still have the match ball.
May the bridges I burn light your way

For you William!William the White wrote:Agree with all the above. I'd like to identify his performance in the opening match of the 2001-02 season, away at Leicester as his finest 90 minutes. Per absolutely bossed that game. He scored 2 and made 2 in a Whites 5-0 victory.
I was writing the match report for the sadly missed fanzine Tripe n Trotters and gave Per a perfect ten as MotM.
The best away performance ever.
Edit - just noticed. beaten to it by DSB!!!

You were nearly there - what you have to do (confusingly) is just paste the last bit, the random letters/numbers after the second slash, ignoring the "http://youtube.com/" or "http://youtu.be/" bits.chester white wrote:For you William!William the White wrote:Agree with all the above.

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
I must have forgotten how close Leicester were to taking the lead in that game. Sitter.

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
That game was played the same day that Trinity Retail Park opened for business. I know that because I was on it and couldn't get off for over two hours. The whole area was gridlocked. I listened to the game on't radio though and that made up for it.

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
I remember that chance of Elliots well. Think I said to the mrs, if we can hold on for the first half hopefully we can sneak one later on. 5 minutes later we were 2 up.

Kevin Davies didn't leave.
He was sacked. On Christmas morning. Via text message. While he was on the job.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Per Frandsen - your memories
It went up on Friday, a day before that news about him being poorly. Strange timing, but hopefully he will read it and it will be a reminder of how highly he is thought of in England!.
