Loved a good own goal

Thruppeny-bit head we called him, cos if the ball hit his head it could go in any direction, often his own goal. I liked him, had more assists from right side crosses than the (somehow) heralded Guppy from left wing crosses.

Didn't he score for us whilst playing for Chelsea and for Chelsea whilst playing for us?

 

Edit: Oh and he wasn't shit, we have had a helluva lot shitter, he was decent with a penchant for the ridiculous.

Frank Sinclair was an excellent defender who gained a reputation for own goals.

 

He was defensively sound, he had a good footballing brain and he was strong.

 

He got booted out of the Tottenham cup final for turning up to a pre-match meeting late, if he had of played we would have won.

Yes, twice in one game....but it was us he was on the team sheet for and the goals counted for Chelsea, I think he must have picked up 2 wage packets that week.

 

EDIT:

 

Must be getting too old now I'm making up my own memory's  this post of mine is bullshine :o, my apologies. Thanks for correcting me Captain... :)

And for Chelsea in 1999

Size of a tank, turning circle of a tank. But liked him nonetheless

A tank has a smaller turning circle than a mini. A tank turns on the spot no car can do that.

I remember a cracking last ditch tackle he did on someone clean through on goal in the 02/03 season. Think it was Cov at home or maybe Portsmouth.

Thats debatable at this moment 

The fact Simpson is not a club record goal scorer says I'm right. With Sinclair's talent we would be bottom now with no points.

Thanks for showing me the error of my ways, but I was only wrong about most of it :whistle:
