Dam beat me to it!!!

 

[Stat Brother]

Is Marcos Painter still chasing that Bridge-esque pass down to the South East corner of the AMEX.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Painter or Butters of recent players.

 

[Dr Q]

Butters

 

[grummitts gloves]

"He's old, he's slow, wind him up and watch him go, Les Brierly" Looked and moved like he was 60!

 

[METALMICKY]

Les Berry is a pretty good call.

Apologies for skewing the original question but may I vote for Albion players who looked like lightning but it was all an illusion when you saw the defenders keeping up easily. May I nominate Junior McDougald and sadly Macca has to be a contender.

 

[Wilka]

Gary Dicker always looked like he was towing a caravan behind him.

 

[Simon Morgan]

I liked Butters but he was incredibly slow. Remember once seeing David Nugent overtake him in seconds even with a 20 yard head start.

 

[Yoda]

Remember Dirk Lehmann not exactly being blessed for pace.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Ah, but he compensated by his positioning and reading of the game #legend

Yes very true, but it's fair to say he's a contender for the accolade mentioned above.

Willie Young.

When they played the radio commentary, over the PA, of all the goals to us Brighton supporters held back in the ground after the game for "safety" reasons!

 

[wallyback]

Adam El-Abd always looked like he was treading water.

Frank Worthington? Was well past his hip-shakin prime, of course!

For 30 minutes...............and then the OB popped back into their vans leaving us to get a severe kicking from the locals who had been lobbing bricks into the away end once the match had finished.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Not THE slowest, but that time John Obika tried to go past a defender at the amex was incredible. He certainly looked like he needed to put down his shopping.

 

[BensGrandad]

Jimmy Case was about as quick as a tug on the Mersey doing a u turn.
