[Football] Albion players - trademark moves

[seagullwedgee]

Surely the Bas Savage hat-trick on a mud bath of a pitch.

First goal, he did the standard backwards moonwalk along the touch line.

Second goal, unbelievably in thick mud, he celebrated with a brilliant forwards moon walk.

And then the hat-trick goal, and we stood there in anticipation as he celebrated with a never seen before never been repeated since magnificent circular moon walk on the spot sort of thing, in thick mud. What talent.

George Parris sneaking up on keepers............shhhh

 

[Badger]

Izquierdo - cut in to the box and shoot from exactly the same spot.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The Alex Dawson, ball, keeper and couple of defenders into the back of the net corner routine

and the goal being given! that's something that would never be allowed now.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

LuaLua had couple of trademark moves. Stopping it to go past a player on the outside. Or, stepover , cut inside, blast over the bar (at the Amex anyway)

Not forgetting his triple back somersault celebratory routine of course.

The Sully Shuffle and Eric Steele’s Groucho Marx with the cigar

Glenn Murray hand to the head after scoring

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ankergren always nonchalantly doing mid game stretches 25 fkn yards from goal, a worry to watch.

Then getting lobbed on the counter.

Casper the Clown, he used to make me soooo when he did that.

 

[Munkfish]

Danny Cullip - backwards header to the keeper. Which Dunky also pulls off very well.

Presumably impersonating a seagull, handy really because it was probably an eagle at another stage in his career.

Nathan Jones stopping, putting his foot on the ball, stroking his chin thoughtfully, then nutmegging the opposition defender. Only saw him do it once (v Southend, I think) so not sure whether that could be described as trademark.

Michelle Kuipers when the ball was launched into the box, usually from the centre of the park, used to claim the ball and boot any player challenging him for it. All in one motion.

 

[Weststander]

Casper the Clown, he used to make me soooo when he did that.

Full blown stretching, running on the spot …. designed to keep himself alert.

As the ball sailed over his head.

I always thought that the Glenn Murray goal celebration was a tribute to the Fish Brothers.

 

[paulfuzz]

Gerry Fell coming on as sub with 10 to go, standing wide on the half way line waiting for the ball into space and then lightning on to the ball and, sometimes, scoring a last minuter.

When and where was that ? I don't recall Bas Savage ever scoring a hat trick for the Albion.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Danny Cullip - backwards header to the keeper. Which Dunky also pulls off very well.

Good call.

Ben Roberts also loved to shout 'and awayyyyy' in a thick accent for all of Westdene to hear.

[Jimmy Grimble]

Kuipers’ backspinning goal kicks which just about reached the half way line.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Andy Rollings right hook

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Yes you have as you’ve only covered a few years.

Sully knocking and go, puffing down the wing
Steve Gatting running round in circles so he could kick it left footed

I seem to recall Sully’s best move was a c4 pace hop to the left on his left foot and then the same on his right, all without moving forward

Edit

Thanks @icygull yes the Sully Shuffle

 

[Norman Potting]

Hans Kraay jumping up and down in front of the opposition keeper whenever we got a corner

......accompanied by the ".....Hans is eeeevil..." chant

 

[Goldstone1976]

Aaron Connolly’s sulking. What?
