Nationwider Posted 29 June 2005 Share Posted 29 June 2005 They are officially my "dark horses" for the play-offs. They'll be dull, but they'll be organised. Probably not the goal fests that Stan Ternant used to serve up though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is he never gets enough goals for a striker and is not good enough at anything else to be really destructive. Outcome, both Ipswich and Leicester never quite did the business during his time. It's a curious thing in football. Other people like Gerd Muller of Germany, while not looking much, had an electric effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
