J.Lisemore Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Okay, obviously we all know who this guy is and how awful he was, so for the people unfortunate enough to have not seen him in action.... here he is. Sorry about the overlapping commentary. THAT celebration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0KEMqzDF8U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Why? Why would you post that? I've tried my hardest to suppress those memories over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Cracking video. The Frank Sinclair own goals one is pretty good too. I remember playing football at primary school and whenever anyone missed a good chance other kids would chant 'Ade Akinbiyi, Ade Akinbiyi'. Seldom have players made such a name for themselves just for being shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bovril Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Yeah well done for posting that. I was at that game with a Liverpool 'supporting' friend from school who had never seen his team play before. It was just awful, compounded by that prat Fowler getting a hat-trick.

bovril Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 From Emile Heskey and Stan Collymore, to Ade Akinbiyi and Trevor Benjamin in less than 12 months. Dear God, when you put it like that. I vaguely remember Ade and Trev running through on goal at Maine Road and, between then, somehow contriving to miss the easiest chance of all time. But we didn't care, we were 2nd in the league, with our heads firmly buried in the sand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey O'Neil Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Worst thing about that video is seeing that little **** W*se in a City shirt. Was just about to say the same thing. And me. I'd still rather have 11 Adi Akinbiyi's in my team than half a poisoned dwarf. Little cvnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhateram Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 Childhood memories of sitting in the car with the radio on while parents went shopping, people must have thought I was very strange the way I used to shout at the radio every time in heard this blokes name. The amount of times I heard " Akinbiyi in on goal, 6 yards out! He's put it over the bar, well this poor run of form is astonishing" Just terrible memories and how we went from a great position in the league to relegation under Tayler and then Bassett. Oh dear oh dear. All after that game against Wycombe Wanderers. Talk about plummeting. Still refuse to go shopping at that Tesco where I listened to that season ever again!

Iwan is a Welshman Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 That game against Wycombe was the most sudden end to an era I've known in football. From memory there was no steady decline - we were great for over five years - lost that game, and then went shit over night. Did we even win another game that season? For years O'Neill made shoe string signings and performed miracles. Turned down Everton and Leeds. Then we get the ground, the cash, and just that one club too far came in. Imagine if he'd have stuck around for a couple more years. Although, saying that, every Villa fan I've spoken to really resents how Martin spent most of the money he had there, so perhaps it might not have changed a great deal.

I remember straight after that roy essandoh goal ade had a one on one which he obviously fluffed but i wonder what would have happened if he would have miraculously bagged....

6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 17 February 2014 Share Posted 17 February 2014 I blame tim Berners lee, if he hadnt invented the Internet , Wycombe would never have been able to sign Roy Essendoh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
