Ahhhhhh yes.... blimey, I'd forgotten all about that noise.
Loved watching that video. Many thanks to the OP for sharing it. I was at all of those home games and some of the away games. Marco was very fast but it was the explosive acceleration from a standing start that allowed him to pull away from defenders. Unplayable at times. Gatesy's 1-2s mind..... he was class too.

It was, Chris Waddle got the other one.
Was up there, always a giggle putting that lot in their place..........
probably the first time I ever chose not to go to a match - a woman ( a whole3 years older than me ) at work had made it known I was in for a treat if I invited her over to mine.. this was the only day she could make
sorry Marco but it was worth it

Never known a player before or since generate such excitement when he picked up that ball and started running towards the opposition. He was electrifying in full flow.

Was living in Edinburgh at the time so great to put them in their place, would have been unbearable if we lost, went to a few up there usually undercover

Bloody loved Marco. Loved football in those days too despite being in the 2nd division most seasons! Away days especially.
Low cetre of gravity and quite a "crabby" gait about him. Lyndon Gooch is the same (albeit without the pace and goalscoring ability)

Always look back on Marco's time as most exciting watching SAFC, the buzz when he burst through was tangible, speed ,power,seeing defenders back off then get rinsed,
Best player in our history, clearly not , but most definitely the player who gave me that feeling of anticipation on the way to the game ,never shouted go-onnnnnnn as loud when he got the ball for any player before or since.Thanks Marco

For a while yes, towards the fag end of Bulls career .. The only goals Bull scored in the top flight were for Albion.
