Who on here has not seen Morsy dip his shoulder and twist around ?
Of course you have. It's his party piece.

But what about other players ways.

George Burley for instance would go bombing down the wing with his right arm up in the air just before he crossed the ball.

Eric Gates with a nifty turn, defenders leg stuck out, fall over it, penalty.

Alan Brazil chasing a ball with his head back like the Scottish chap in Chariots of Fire.

So come on give me memories of players that stick in your mind.

Of course, there’s one that tops the lot.

I give you Shefki Kuqi’s celebration. The old swan dive. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since.

Joe Garner going down rubbing his head after contesting a header.

Pablo shielding the ball with his back to goal then spinning the defender.

Walking is exaggerating. It was more of a very slow amble. I mean, they used to bring ‘Duggie’ out on a porters trolley before kick off to get him there. But yes, he did point a lot.

I’ve got vivid memories of Jim screaming for the ball with his arms and hands outstretched by his sides, about 80 times per game.


I used to do a series on here called At Home With The Magiltons where he would berate his kids for not passing the remote control to him.

Micky Stockwell running down the line with his hands wafting around by his hips. Always gave everything, great player.

Steve McCall had a funny run as well - like he never seemed to really stretch his legs. Bit of. Douglas run really!


I used to like Herman H's massive strides when sprinting back having got too advanced up the pitch.

Alex Mathie - He would just back into a defender with the ball at his feet and fall over to win a pen on more than 1 occasion I seem to remember.

Well before that celebration was or wasn't warranted you would also see Shef run most of the length of the pitch, bulldoze through various opposition players to get one on one with the 'keeper, then either knock someone out in row Z or burst the net.

Jaime Peters run with, what is politely termed as, an exceptionally low centre of gravity.

Terry Butcher coming back on after an injury that wouldn't look out of place in Hacksaw Ridge, and playing better on EVEN MORE adrenaline than usual!

He reminded me of a giant puppy chasing around the park.

Big old unit though - I doubt too many defenders fancied colliding with Shefki. He was worth the entrance money alone.

Or misplace a pass and then boll0ck someone else for it.

Got to confess, he's still my answer to "favourite all time player" when I do the survey.

I know there are more worthy options, especially given the last few seasons, just that was a golden period for me as a first time season ticket holder. That season where he, Bent and Miller scored umpteen goals between themselves, and yet we just fell short by a whisker.

Ian Marshall - he of the world-weary trudge.

And for the Seniors - Danny Hegan holding onto his cuff with arm outstretched as he pinged a 40 yard pass.

the Thjissen spin.

He'd receive the ball under pressure, turn a full 180 and be off and away
