[Albion] Manager’s pet players over the years

[American Seagle]

Pet players. Let me see:
Adam La Llama
Aaron Moo-ey/Percy Cow

 

[Da Man Clay]

Super, super Mark;
Supermarket Trolley.......

Eeh. Happy days!!

My personal favourite McCammon moment was him going into the corner after 32 minutes against Sunderland. Great fun

Typical trolley. Think everything’s fine and then one wonky wheel later you’re stuck…

 

[Telboy]

As Super Steve Earle said Wayne Henderson, we all say he's doing a Hendo when a keeper parries a shot out in front of him

Only our manager for one season, but for the life of me I couldn't understand why Oscar Garcia kept picking Jake Forster-Caskey. First name on the team sheet every week. Grim.

Also, Mickey Adams and Mark Walton.

 

[Mike Small]

Mark McGhee and the incredibly rubbish Calamity Wayne 'I'm here for my distribution' Henderson. Unfortunately he basked on the ground in the glory of his parried saves while forwards scored from endless opportunities palmed, passed or dropped in to their opportunist paths.

Absolutely this. It was all the more galling when we had FDM who could actually save bloody shots on the bench too.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You can't use Peter Taylor as your example and chose Danny Webb as the player!

Peter Taylor signed Junior Lewis at about FIVE clubs. If Taylor had a pet player, surely it was him!

This.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Micky Adams managed Richard Carpenter at Gillingham, Fulham and Brighton, and Paul Watson at Gillingham, Fulham, Brentford and Brighton, Paul Brooker at Fulham and Brighton. Decent players for us, it has to be said. But I did raise an eyebrow at the time.

 

[Jeremiah]

A vital cog in our promotion push though. The sort of player one only really misses when he isn't in the team.

Or not.

Micky Adams managed a fair few clubs, but Gillingham wasn't one of them.

Played for them, 79-83.....retained some sort of connection...?

If we can include non Albion examples, I'd like to add John Bond and his son, Kevin Bond.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Gus And Liam Bridcutt

Will Buckley too.

Lots of examples of managers giving their sons preferential treatment.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

.

Best example I can think of, and it was bloody good partnership, is Cloughie and John McGovern

Wasn’t Kevin Bond Arry Redknapps pet coach ?
