[Football] Super Paul Mullin

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Having watched the Wrexham documentary and watching a number of their games, it’s evident that this guy is the real deal. Scores from anywhere with a great work ethic, surely worth a punt.

 

[Sheebo]

For a top league one / lower championship side it probably is…

 

[MattBackHome]

I'd rather Paul Burrell

You’re obviously too young to remember a young talent that we picked up from Burton Albion

 

[The Fifth Column]

Worth a punt for who?

 

[Weststander]

At age 28 I think he’ll stay an EFL player at best.

Great goal stats though and he seems to be their creator too.

 

[trueblue]

Considering there are plenty of Albion fans who think Undav is too much of a journeyman to cut it long term, it'll be a hard sell convincing them the future is a 28 year old who never even hit double figures for Morecambe, Swindon or Tranmere.

 

[Bakero]

Worth a punt for who?

Cambridge United?

Or he just thinks likening the signing of Mullin to a 19 year old Ward, is a bit of a daft comparison.

 

[Weststander]

Vardy was a recent rare exception, becoming a league player at 25, straight into the Championship.

 

[Eeyore]

The new Jamie Vardy surely.

Maybe not.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Wages, move on

That's not a serious comparison? Ward was a teenager at the start of his career, Mullin is 28 and is the epitome of the term 'lower league journeyman'. He's played for Vauxhall Motors (on loan from Huddersfield where he didn't make the grade), Morecambe, Swindon, Tranmere, Cambridge, and now non-league Wrexham.

No he is most definitely not 'worth a punt', just because he's had one good season in the fifth tier of English football. Blimey, players who've played well in the top tier of Dutch football often struggle in the PL and couldn't make our side even when we were struggling.

He was my favourite player for decades and one of the reasons I started watching the Albion regularly, however he was no more than average as a top half of the first division forward imo and I doubt he’d make the current team. I can’t see us taking a punt of a 28 year old who has only just arrived back in the football league.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I suspect the Hollywood boys will constantly upgrade the squad. Mullin won’t be there in a couple of seasons and it won’t be because he’s playing Premier League

 

[Justice]

Wait are we in league 1 and all this fighting for the top six of the EPL all a dream?

You have stated as much before and I have replied before in kind as well. He scored 16 goals in 1979-80 and was 5th in the goalscorers alongside Dalgleish who maybe also could by your reckoning be no more than average? He scored more than Francis the first million pound player and also ahead of recognised names such as Stapleton and Jordan who also played for much better teams. We were not a great team that year and it was a great achievement. Wardy's position and number of goals was certainly not average if one looks at the competition.

Quite right, I have just checked, my memory is shit, I should have done better, seeing as he was my favourite player

Who joined us when we were in division 3

Hey no worries. Wardy was and is still my hero even after all these years. And my memory is pretty bad at times too.
