The Fall and Fall Of Adam Virgo

[ac gull]

Saw Burton at home to Bristol Rovers today
Virgo now a sub, having been dropped from a starting place a few games into the season
McGhee remembering the 04/05 season used him as a sub for last 5 minutes or so as a striker, replaced another one of our ex players Anyinsah
A few years ago, you would have thought he would have settled at a higher level than mid to bottom end of league 2
Another one (as well as Adams) that should probably of not come back for a second time

It's a shame how sportspeople fade

Cliff Thorburn is now the snooker pro on a cruise liner

Saw him in town in the summer, asked him if he'd be playing up front again under McGhee.

His response? "I bloody hope not!"

 

[Perkino]

One of the nicest players I have met, I wish him all the best and hope he goes somewhere soonish and is a first team regular

mcghee didn't manage anyinsah or did i misread the original post?

mcghee was the first manager to deploy virgo as a striker though (he'd played as right back before) with a reasonable amount of success

 

[Del Boy]

Great player for us and top bloke, best position was cb but it shows how desperate we were for goals to put him upfront!

esp at Leicester 0-1, 33/1 first/last scorer as Ladbrokes weren't told about the plan, perhaps they were trying again today!?

Jack of all trades, a master of none.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Was very unlucky in terms of circumstances when he moved to Celtic (MOM in second start, but Strachan under a lot of pressure in his first season and didn't give many young players a game), and it just seems to have gone downhill from there. Real shame.

How we got a million for him I'll never know

How the f*** do you keep a snooker table level on a cruise liner?

 

[seagullondon]

I wonder WHAT dick TIGHT did with the 1 MILLION he got for HIM

 

[Beach Hut]

How we got a million for him I'll never know

£1.5 I believe and I suspect the respective managers did well out of this deal

Glad someone got it

I remember it well, had £5 (although I have no recollection of the following 36 hours)

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

With Virgo and Elphick both sunk without trace, hard to see who's now going to be first to hoof the ball out of the Amex.

 

[patchamalbion]

i saw JFC play against Cheltenham tuesday night and he looked like the best player in a poor Oxford team - thought they would do better this season

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

AVs big mistake was joining the Great Unwashed, albeit we stole £1 1/2 m off them for him (I think that was the sum, please correct me if I am wrong). The Ginger Midget (Strachan) then proceeded not to play him and AV lost his edge.
As someone said, top bloke and scorer of some timely great goals for us (Leicester from outside the box I seem to recall).

All the best to him.

They've CLEARLY missed Andrew Whing. I understand he is back, so that's problem solved for them now I would have thought. I'm looking forward to watching Oxford vs Port Vale on monday night live on the televisual box.
