Fixed that for you McG. He must have been a nightmare for centre halves. Saw him a few weeks ago at a garage on the Naas Road. He made time to stop and chat to me and others about Sunderland, Ireland and football in general. Top guy. |

The game has evolved in the last 22 years. Most wingers nowadays cut inside or get to the bye line and pull the ball back. The rate of return for whipped crosses is very low. Also as most teams play with one out and out striker (and no target man) this is even lower. ------------- Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me... |

agreed about the change in style of the game but the actual art of crossing is dying out imo.most players now can't beat the first man with a corner never mind crossing on the run.whytes crosses were not aimless and he varied his delievery.shane long would eat those types of crosses for breakfast. ------------- WWW.IRELANDSOCCERSHIRTS.COM |

If Andy Carroll was bought for 35m, albeit by Liverpool, a few years ago I wonder what sort of money Quinn could have fetched. I think they are comparable stylewise but Quinn's record can't be argued with. Seems a really nice guy, despite his wilder younger years. (Hope for Stokes?) He.

What does he exactly have to offer? His analysis from his Sky commentating is dreadful and he was dreadful as interim Manager at Sunderland.

McCarthy imo trusts him,as a player he played in 3 major tournaments for Ireland,has over 90 caps and scored 21 goals for us.As Mick is a fairly hands on coach himself id say Mick would take the sessions but Quinn could be a good platform/sounding board between players/manager and vice versa. As a player Quinn valued every call up and id say is respected by the players so id say he could bring alot to the backroom set up. ------------- WWW.IRELANDSOCCERSHIRTS.COM |

Niall Quinn is a legend on and off the field. The man is a true gent. What he has done for Sunderland Football Club and the north east in general shows what a top bloke he is. One thing I will never forget was the time we were stranded at Bristol Airport when our flight got cancelled after Cardiff away. Cut a long story short it was the last plane of the night and the majority on the flight were fans that were at the game. After realising we weren't going anywhere Niall who was on the flight stood up and told everyone to get off the plane and meet in departure gates. We all waited around for a good 10 mins or so until Niall came over to speak to us. He's first words were " we've come as a team we will leave as a team I will get yous all home one way or another" After about an hour or so of Niall making calls etc he then got us altogether and said he would pay for taxis for everyone. Bristol to Sunderland is a long way. He also said if anyone wanted to fly nxt day he would pay for hotels this included people who weren't fans on the flight. The majority needed to be back so opted for taxis. Can always remember the taxi drivers face when he asked where yous off to, to which we said Sunderland. After it finally sunk in Niall knocked on the window of the drivers door and said make sure they get home safe and handed over £400+. As if this wasn't a good enough jester to start with he then had another 10+ cabs to pay for. So off we went on a long journey home back to the north east. I can't think of anyone else who would have done the same. The guy deserves it he's a legend. We all decided when we got reinbursed for the flight to donate it Nialls children's education centre hospital Sunderland. LEGEND |
