A bit unfair to Dean Saunders.
He did a terrific job as Wolves manager.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
He acted really unprofessionally around that time, too. He seemed to leave every team under a cloud and isn't popular at pretty much everywhere he played.
The problem is, now we're relevant in the eyes of the media for once, he's the go-to man. Yet for 15 years him and the fans have been having a go at each other. Most of the other disliked figures are all irrelevant again.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
Wouldn't quite class them as legends but of the prominent ex-Leeds players who are wheeled out by the media, there are three who are not much liked:
Paul Robinson Couldn't wait to fuck off to Spurs as soon as we were relegated. In fact, it is known he was angling for a move that January. Was never fit to lace Nigel Martyn's shoes. Was an absolute shambles in that last season - overweight and shit.
Danny Mills Bloke was a leech and is generally ill informed about everything going on at the club. He had a swipe at the still popular Olivier Dacourt recently which didn't go down well. Gary Kelly was always better anyway.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Guy has been about as popular as a pork pie at a Jewish wedding ever since he threw his toys out the pram and left just days before the start of the 99/00 season. Also a horrendous pundit who is lazy in his research.
During the wilderness years, all three would have needed Google Maps to locate Elland Road. Now they are popping up everywhere.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
As a teenager, me and my school mates saw Robbie Savage in a convertible in Stratford (where he lived for a time). One of the lads called him a wanker, which he heard. He started shouting something back at us while driving away at the same time.JW90 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 7:01 pmHe acted really unprofessionally around that time, too.

So juvenile but I do look back on it with a chuckle, just because it's Savage

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
I can't understand why people take him seriously. He probably earned £50,000+ a week for almost a decade but he was a complete joke as a footballer by his late 20s, and he's now reliant on shit money from Talksport. He's obviously thick and his face and dodgy tache makes me feel a tiny bit sick whenever I see him.kancutlawns wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 1:47 pm I'll start off with Gabby Agbonlahor.
He's frequently referred to a Villa legend by all but the club's fans. Record scorer but only really because he was with us for so long and became an unflushable turd for the last few years and chose to spend the time eating Greggs pies and being a huge cunt sucking wages out of us, we were very badly run.
He's obviously now getting coin for being a troll and shill for TS. Comes across as particularly thick, communicates inarticulately and seems to exist to wind up Leeds fans. I detest the cunt, I really do.
It's embarrassing that some Leeds fans get so wound up by him.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
Dean Saunders is Welsh, so surely that gives him a pass. All Welsh are utter cunts. When the coalmines got shut they all went mad. I respect them in a sense because they gave us Richard Burton (pisshead) and Dylan Thomas (pisshead). Oh and i'd certainly have given Charlotte Church one, before she went mad of course. No, Deano shouldn't be an enemy, he should just be shuffled-off to a home for the mad Welsh.
As for Danny Mills ... A miserable, arrogant, disagreeable sod of a man. Not seen him much on TV these days. GOOD.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
Happens with a lot of teams, I reckon.
Problem is that a lot of the people who were around during the wilderness aren't relevant to the broadcasters. They aren't a big name. You'd rather hear a key player from your League One promotion over a bloke who couldn't wait to get out after relegation from the Premier League. I'd rather hear from a player who joined in League One and was around to clinch another promotion instead of somebody who left 20 years ago and pissed everyone off.
But the TV people have heard of Mills, Hasselbaink and Savage, not Casper Ankergren or Lloyd Dyer.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
Cunt was in net when they knocked us out of the cup 10 years ago
Hasselbaink was full of the most appalling shite when I saw him on telly recently. Massive twat.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
That's true. It may be down to Covid and the current travelling restrictions, but on promotion, I was hopeful of appearances from the likes of Lucas Radebe, Nigel Martyn, Gary Kelly, Olivier Dacourt and perhaps even the ever elusive David Batty. A Mark Viduka nostalgia appearance on Monday Night Football would go down a treat. Alas, we'll make do with MillsJW90 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 4:26 pmHappens with a lot of teams, I reckon.

Re: Your club's legends who make you feel ashamed
When I first read this I thought you were being a bit harsh on the rotund goal getter. Sure he wasn’t the greatest player ever but at least he’s having a go at the wireless these days.kancutlawns wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 1:47 pm I'll start off with Gabby Agbonlahor.

However.....
The ugly twat is an absolute disgrace. How dare he think he touch that shirt let alone wear it? Take it off you fool and never trouble our lives again.
Wanker!!!

Why did he need a hammer to take a football shirt out of a frame?

At what point did the portly prick look at the framed shirt on the wall and think “I’d look good in that!”

What happened to David Batty? He seemed to retire then promptly head to the wilderness, when did he last do a public occasion?Zippy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 3:36 amThat's true.
