Dean Wilkins - Did you see him play?

[steve-c]

has to be the free kick

 

[algie]

has to be the free kick

Against Notts County in the final?

 

[beardy gull]

Yes. And THAT free kick obviously.

 

[Seagull's Return]

Used to be greeted from the North Stand with "Oi, Wilkins - you're SHIT!", as I recall. But as everyone has said, good left foot.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Yes I did see Dean Wilkins play.

 

[Muzzman]

I saw him play, I saw that fee kick and that was the best moment.

Didn't he score direct from a corner at Brentford one year??

 

[Jam The Man]

Didn't he score direct from a corner at Brentford one year??

No.. but nearly. It was a mis-hit corner which came back to him and he scored from the cross...

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Brilliant!!

 

[Jam The Man]

What i remember is him scoring a 25 yard screamer when you beat Crawley 5-0 in the FA cup. I was in the away end as I was supporting my PE teacher, but it flew in.

Pretty sure Deano didn't score in that game.. mainly because I think he was injured and didn't even play... I will gladly await correction though!

The free kick - last kick of the game and so important

 

[simon swagbag]

saw him loads, his left foot was a gift, scored loads of free kicks but scored a volley against wolves i think, in front of the north stand which was unreal, also had a ruck with codner on the pitch once, plus never seen a player cry for the albion like it

Yep, the Wolves goal for me.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

Best moment will always go down as the free kick against ipswich, i remember jumping over the dug out in celebration.

Ironic really, as all season he was getting abuse from the main stand

 

[gripper stebson]

He was playing tennis in Peacehaven once. My mate Matt and I were playing on adjoining court. Matt went up to him and asked him for his autograph. When he gave it to him Matt replied "Oh I'm sorry I thought you were Kevin Keegan."

We thought it was hilarious at the time - in hindsight we were probably just a couple of irritating little shits.

Sorry Gaffer!!
