gee Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Great documentary, great player, great human being. my dad has always said that John was the better player, and should have (injury aside) gone on to bigger things, any older fans agree?

Members Willjag Posted July 16, 2014 Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Don't know about being a better player, but he definitely could have gone on to better things. I seem to recall Man Utd were interested in taking him before he got injured. He never fully recovered from the injury and was never the same player again.

gee Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 again my dad said that after the injury he was never the same, i think what he was saying was the potential of John was greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John was a very good player he might have became a great one, but Alan was a great player from the moment he played in the first team. Believe it or not he played in midfield for a while. Definitely one of the greatest players to wear a Jags strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 John was a very good player he might have became a great one, but Alan was a great player from the moment he played in the first team. Believe it or not he played in midfield for a while. Definitely one of the greatest players to wear a Jags strip I believe it - I saw it! Actually at the time I used to wish they'd keep him in midfield. He had an awful habit of trying to dribble round all the opposition players in his own penalty box.

Members Willjag Posted July 16, 2014 Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think it was Campbell and Anderson that were oyr defensive pairing at the time and I preferred that. Occasionally we'd play all 3 in the heart of the defence IIRC, but in the main Alan played midfield. He was just too good to leave out and it would have been criminal to split Jackie and Andy (my all-time favourite defensive pairing).
