Jambo83 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I always thought he was pretty under-rated in terms of his skill. I recall a backheel down in the Gorgie / Wheatield corner where he left his man for dead and had a dig at goal which came pretty close. I liked the way he played. If he'd had any sort of pace I think he'd have played with us for a lot longer. Definitely one of those players who is now a Jambo for life, same as wee Mickey and McCann.

cosanostra Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I don't really get the "lacked ability" comments either. He had plenty of ability IMO. Elite level fitness and pace were what he lacked. Always looked exhausted in the first half. His body couldn't do the things his footballing brain wanted. He always had plenty of ideas with what to do when in possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Thought his comments were OTT and was proved right when I watched the game back again. Still not forgiven him for losing possession cheaply at the end 2014 semi allowing 9 man ICT the ball and equalise. Generally one of the best pound for pound signings we made, twice over.

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Had a mare at end of ICT semi, had a stormer in final against ST Liedown.

Debut 4 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Always tried to be at the heart of all the good things. I don’t know why, but I always remember a game at Tynie v ICT in JJs second spell, during winter and it ended 1-1. We were on a very good run of results and Stevenson was everywhere as we pummelled them in the second half. We just couldn’t get the winner. The desire was there to keep the winning run going and he was a big part of that. He was a leader in those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result, it'd sometimes happen that if one of his team-mates was getting a bit out of hand (Vinnie Jones maybe? ), the ref would ask Fashanu to have a word with them instead of doing so themselves. JF would duly oblige, go up to the offending player, wag his finger at them and seem to give them a bollocking. What he was actually saying was: "Great stuff - keep it up - hit him harder next time, etc., etc...". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If he hadn't come back to us the second time ,would likely still be known as Tiny Tears up there with Paul Ritchie and Elvis on the popular explayer list . I know I was just a bit angry at that time ,but his attitude on effort on return calmed that . His resigning was a good decision . Seems to be a good pundit aswell ,funny how the ones who hold no strong ugly sister connection seem to make the best pundits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
