Jeff Minton - Midfield Dynamo

[CHAPPERS]

Simple question for ya.

Great player or best of a bad bunch?

For me he was a great talent and I'll always remember THAT tackle from behind that pretty much ended his Albion career away at Vale as well as hating Horton from taking him away from the club.

He could have been a true legend if he had stayed in my opinion.










50 points for the first person to use the phrase, 'diamond in the rough'.

Read on Teletxt yesterday that he has done his leg in playing for Canvey and is expected to be out for 3 months.

For me he never really lived up to his potential. Perhaps because he was playing for The Albion at the wrong time, although I do remember him scoring a screamer at Bournemouth from near enough the half way line! Or at least I think it was him!!

Minton and Hart were the ONLY reason I didn't just give up and stop going to Gillingham. Those saturday and midweek memories of the Priestfield still make me shudder.

My favourite Albion player for 3 or 4 years. Don't think he would have necessarily fitted into the Mickey Adams team, but certainly had talented that probably appeared greater because of the dross around him.

Bit of a diamond in the rough but was always the best player for us during his time here.

Spent too much time phoning in sick to miss training.

 

[Skaville]

Quality player. A ray of sunshine on many gloomy days

 

[Albion Dan]

About the only player who gave me any inclination that we might get to see some quality on a saturday afternoon during the DARK years. Class.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

He was MONEY.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

His good games far outweighed his bad ones

He was playing in a very poor side when he with BHA FC but he is just the type of player we are missing right now......................

 

[graz126]

he was great for us. that does not make him a great player. he was the best of a bad bunch. all the players we had about then were great for us. otherwise we would have been relegated to the conference.

No that was Rod Thomas.

Minton could still do a job for us, I reckon - ie programme seller.

 

[Icy Gull]

No that was Rod Thomas.

How could I forget, yes him as well

 

[Uncle Buck]

I think he did well in a poor side. But when he stepped up to the First Division with Port Vale he struggled and he did not look all that in the second with them.

However if him, Rust and Junior had believed their own ego's that would have been international class.

 

[Harold]

Pissed us about something awful every time his contract was up for renewal. Better than the rest at the time and the sort of player who gave you a bit of hope when he had possession (never easily knocked off the ball). What he did, he did well, frustratingly never did it enough though and revelled in the ex-Spurs label (sounds like Piercey).

Nowhere as good as he thought he was though.

 

[Brovion]

The best of a VERY bad bunch. As has been pointed out when he stepped up to our current level he couldn't hack it and went to Orient! If I had to comapre him with anyone it would be David Lee. He did a good job for Southend but couldn't make the grade two divisions higher.

There! Jeff Minton = David Lee! I'm sure no one will argue with that!

[Set of Tracksuits]

An average player in a piss poor side.

He did well for us at the level that we were playing at the time, but he's never proved himself to be anything better than a reasonable 2nd/3rd division player.

 

[Windmill]

An average player.

Bicycle dynamo's have more power.
