Watching Duffy the past few weeks I can’t help but see certain similarities not so much as players but there effect on a team/defence.
Now again I’m in no way am I saying they are comparable as players when Boli came to us he was the Big signing of the summer (same summer we all found God too) and was a champions league winner but man he was terrible for us. You’d think he would be tailor made for our league physically strong great in the air etc but he was basically done physically and mentally If I’m being honest when we got him ( his birth certificate said he was 27 )
On Heart and Hand’s wonderful through the windows transfer show David Edgar was saying how we basically had to rearrange to a back three to compensate having Boli in the team because realistically he couldn’t be left out because of who he was and thats there issue with Duffy he cant be dropped......which is wonderful to watch being on this side of it.
Anyway what’s everyone saying memories of Boli?
Mine isn’t him sticking the nut on Pearce, scoring the winner in a champions league final ( only a year before joining us too) or depriving us all of Marco van basten but of my first European game at Ibrox when he played right back...Hateley and Ferguson up front Also remember being right behind the goal when he scored at Brockvile
We still scooshed the league that year right enough and I’m sure we got decent percentage of the money back.
