My Dad was a big fan. Tony Green was, quite simply, the most exciting player that I have ever seen. I remember when he was signed (not in the same week as Supermac as someone has said but within a year). I was a young lad living in Yorkshire and travelled up for his home league debut. Twice in the first half he went on mazy but lightning quick runs from our half and shot from the edge of the area. One hit the bar and the other went in the top corner. The crowd fell in love with him so quickly that when he went on another run and crossed for Supermac to power in a great header the chant from everyone was Whoagh Tony, Tony ----Tony, Tony, Tony Tony Tony Green. Can you imagine Shearer scoring a trademark goal and the crowd cheering someone else? Sorry to get misty-eyed but the boy was special. Suddick and Green also sum up in a way the roller coaster ride that the club has given us over the years. Alan Suddick was probably the first of the big "the club has no ambition" departures. Followed by Bryan Robson, Supermac, Beardsley, Waddle, Gazza etc. When we signed Tony Green we had two of the three most expensive players in the league. Howay the lads I was just too young to see Alan Suddick play more than a few time but remember the outrage that his sale provoked. My Dad was a big fan.

It was like top 10 goals at St James' or something. I asked him about it one afternoon and he said "ah I just managed to catch it nicely really and it ended up stuck in the stanchion". Like they do. I also didn't mention that popular story where he pulled someone's shorts down, while he was in the wall at a free kick. I remember reading about one of Sudds’ goals in The Chronicle.
