SIRB_72 4,000 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 If managers count I'd say Steven Gerrard. Even though there is a minority that aren't fans it must be said he has galvinised the club and made us a serious club again. Rarely have we seen since Gascoigne people turning up to a signing reveal like we did last May. The manager like Gascoigne is larger than life and has turned eyes on our club that no one man since Gascoigne has done. If not the manager then I'd say Ronald de Boer.

TMB 14,167 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Pedro Mendes was a good quality signing. Guy had won the UEFA and Champions League with Porto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Liverpool and other big teams in Europe to get him on a free. Aye with hindsight his career didn’t pan out the way it should but at the time him and Mexes were considered the best 2 young defenders in Europe. I was mad into football at the time, used to buy World Soccer every month and kept up with all the major leagues and I remember being absolutely shocked we’d managed to sign him.

DrLaudrup 4,604 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We were signing good players then but I remember being staggered we signed de Boer from Barcelona. Even now, thinking of us taking a player from Barcelona to us is bizarre. Like Gerrard going and signing Rakitic or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because of the transfer fee, season before he was the top scorer in the Champions League and quite a big player for Chelsea even though he was mostly a sub. He wasn't.

Main striker for the French team which just won the World Cup. What a disappointment that turned out to be. Like signing Giroud or Griezmann last summer!

Anyone that was alive at the time able to offer some insight? I’m only 19 so it seems crazy to me we signed the England captain. Imagine us signing Harry Kane now.

Pretty sure English teams were banned from Europe at the time so we managed to sign a few internationals. Also coupled with the fact that we are the biggest show in town.

Heysel stadium tragedy barred Englush clubs from Europe. We were paying the big bucks and could offer Europe, so it was easier then. Imagine now, we could offer wages of £200k per week plus champions league and no English clubs were in Europe.
