He really, really is the f***ing Messiah. I love Vicente and for those of us that missed out on seeing Peter Ward play in the stripes surely Vicente is the next best thing?

Certainly makes the whole stadium buzz and has fans holding their breath expecting something special when he starts to run at defenders. Just like Wardy did, no-one else has come close imo, even BZ in his pomp was not as EXCITING to watch.

I don't think I have ever felt quite as happy/excited over any BHA player related news. I mean CMS signing last season was pretty damn big and capturing Kaz was sweet but this is incredible.
Not sure about that. As soon as Bobby got the ball it was like the whole crowd took an intake of breath as they waited for him to conjure something. Only a few players in my lifetime have had that, Bobby was first, LuaLua and Vicente come to mind after that. Can't think of many others

But did you see Wardy at his peak
Having re-read your post I guess not. Believe me the buzz of Ward in full flow running at defenders has not been seen from any other player other than Vicente on a few occasions last season. Maybe it's because Bobby was only doing it in front of 6000 but much as I loved watching him, he never gave me the same thrill as Wardy leaving defenders on their arses and then hitting the net. That run of Vicente against Derby was the sort of thing Wady did regulary...and scored at the end of it.

This. Vicente is top drawer but I'm yet to get as excited (although the run and crossbar shot was fantastic!) as when PW was at his peak. If only Wardy was in our current team at his peak, the bookies would close the book on promotion!!

Unfortunately not, I started going in the last couple of years at the Goldstone. Craig Maskell, Jeff Minton, Peter Smith, Paul McDonald, Stuart Storer and Junior McDougal were the first stars I witnessed

Junior McDougal, we were quite excited about him at the time? Tottenham and Les Ferdinand connection? Minton and Hart along with Rod Thomas were the reason that I drove all the way to Gillingham every other weekend, a small ray of talent in amongst absolute dross. It's just astounding how we've come back from that nadir.

No your calculator's broken... half a season!
I didn't say half a season, did I? 19 games is not far off 23. I'm surprised you even pipe up on a Vicente thread.
Don't remember the actual signing of Minton and McDougal, was about 11 at the time. Hart is a good shout at Gillingham actually. He had good pace then and looked a great striker with a tidy finish. Rod Thomas was probably the first flair player I saw!
That is all.
And YES, it was worth a new thread.
You can even tell what he is thinking, just from the LOOK...

Not forgetting the loan spells of Flatts and Dickov!

I agree Rod Thomas was a splendid player!
