Pumped up for Saturday after this.

Great interview with him on latest wise men say podcast. You can tell how much he loves the club like, would like to see him back involved in a football role. Seems he's mates with Coleman so might happen.

Was he fuck average man. He was made of granite Bally was and had the heart of a lion..

He was like
Great bloke and servant though

 

[fyl2u]

Ball who was an integral part of 2 Championship winning sides and ones finishing 7th in the top flight?

Also Ball only spent 3 full seasons in the top flight in his whole career and was relegated all 3 times.

He was sold to Fulham in the December of our first 7th place finish so he was hardly "integral" to that happening.

 

[twangmackem]

Was it one of those Talbot Sunbeam’s ?

Cant mind if im honest, im wanting to say TCC citroen one but not 100% sure mate

and Lee Cattermole's career highlights are?

 

[prideofhylton]

He’s a top bloke. And loves the club.

But let’s be honest, he was a bang average player.

Bang average but always wore his heart on his sleeve, gave 100% every time he pulled on our famous jersey and still better than the below average shite that we have turning out for us at this moment in time..........just saying

Playing for us, Wigan and Boro

FACTS

So, you believe Cattermole to be a better player than Ball as well?

Ball: 340 appearances and 21 goals in 9 years

Cattermole: 174 appearances and 2 goals in 8 years.

You’re implying you know what I think

You’re the Christmas thought monster

Yeah, so what's your point? That's 3 teams that were all in the Premier League when he played for them (except this season), whereas Ball spent almost his whole career in the 2nd tier, barring 3 seasons where his sides got relegated back to the 2nd tier immediately with him playing regularly for them.

We were talking about him the other night didn't relise these were the facts

 

[Junior Birdman]

Top man Bally and a great servant to the club. Not many stick around as long as him, including after their playing days are over. Also, great use of a Shields beach when describing the coast

Anyway...

3 perennial relegation strugglers and he avarages around 20 gamea per season
