wellboy1991 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Tommy Coyne was the classiest striker we have had in my time as a fan of the club. Genuinely oozed quality in abundance. Ojamma, Arnott, Moult, KVV and Higdon in their spells were unplayble. But for general skill, technique, ability the Cobra was a level above. Clarkson when he first broke through as a 17 year old an absolute joy to watch and Faddy well was just Faddy. Big Lukas J was probably my favourite loan signing as a striker. You could tell he would have a good career. Porter was another class act but injuries curtailed him progressing to a higher level I think. We haven’t half been lucky in that department in my lifespan as a fan. Got to watch some absolutely class acts.

Probably our most ‘valuable’ player in my time watching us. We’ve generally done really well with strikers over the last 15 years; KVV, Watt, Moult, Sutton, Higdon, McDonald, Murphy, Porter, Faddy all amongst the best in the league during their time with us. Might be C&A tinted specs but I can’t think of any of our peer clubs that have had the same sort of run with prolific strikers. Time for Theo to add his name to the list! I agree wholeheartedly with that, working within a limited player pool and budget we have managed to unearth and identify some real gems. I like to think as a club we have and continue to provide the right environment and support, which is conducive for players with the right attitude and talent to realise their potential .....

James Traynor visited my school a few years later and gave everyone freebies, being the only Well fan I ended up with a stash of motherwell images and one was a big A3 of almost that same image but sub Andy Roddie is in. The goal he's celebrating was sublime, dinking it over Bonnar from the edge of the six yard box. What a player he was, it was a real shame niggling injuries hammered his latter years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyne was very good when he signed but from August 94 till his injury he was ridiculous (with the exception of 45 minutes in Dortmund which haunt me even now). People always say we could/should have won the league in 94 because they do the sums from the last three games, even though we lost it at Ibrox in March. Where we definitely could have won it was 95 - Rangers were riddled with injury, Celtic and Hearts shite, United and Aberdeen collapsed. A shit winter, Coyne's injury and McLeish/Woods killed... McLean staying one more season an signing a proper GK would have seen us win it - if we're playing hypotheticals where nothing else changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for those of us of a certain age these two are definitely a level above everyone else. They worked so well as a partnership too with Dougie doing most of the donkey work which allowed TC to showcase his talents. I dont know if my memory is playing tricks on me but in the days before the internet, I only remember seeing we had signed Coyne on the scottish news about an hour before the game. I always loved going to the midweek games with the floodlights on but I seem to remember I was extra excited knowing we had signed Coyne that day. Alongside Davie Cooper, Coyne was definitely in Tommy Mclean's top two signings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game and that chip is one of my favourite Motherwell goals. Like Louis Moult but from 6 yards. Pretty sure Willie Falconer scored a screamer for Celtic in that game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that. He's just that level above everyone else and I'd have Dougie below him. Coyne is probably the only person I'd actually be starstruck if I ever met him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh that's the sort of goal where if you've been defending well you just shrug and say it happens. In our case losing yet another set piece, especially when we'd started ok for once, is highly annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
