[Archived] Tugay Memories

[sambo]

Seperate from Tugay testimonial thread, thats more of a debate, I'd rather have a thread simply for everyones favourite memories of Tugay... there have been many magic moments.

Off the top of my head:

That goal against Burnley, it had to be Tugay

Them sublime volleys vs Fulham & Spurs.

His genius at the varying testimonials, worth the entry fee alone!

The famous "Tugay walk" as he leaves the pitch.

I will never forget that nutmeg as long as i live, great way to wind up liverpool fans!

[Beta Ray Bill]

I used to like his performance under Souey.

First half, around the 43rd minute, he'd go down clutching his ankle. But only if Rovers weren't losing.

Timewasting? Nah, obviously had a very dodgy ankle that used to flair up every so often.

I loved that move, and that goal. Textbook example of what a player of his type contributes in attack. Picks balls up outside the area, makes a superstar look like a schoolboy, then play a through ball to send a winger clean through who then crosses for the poacher arriving at the first post. A great example of how he makes goals happen without being either the scorer or the one getting the assist. It's situations like that which make me consider the Ice Hockey approach to assists, where two players can get an assist for a goal.

If anyone can find a clip of it somewhere (Other than on Rovers World) I'd be grateful!!

At the FA cup match at Burnley a few years ago, after he came off in he second half, he sttod in the tunnel watching the rest of the game. I was sat right next to the tunnel, and had a chat with him told him I loved him and took his photograph, all of which he was happy to put with!

How small is that copper?

Wasn't it Veron that he dinked the ball over and collected around the other side whilst Veron was rooted to the spot in err admiration?

Surely that was not StevieG the world class galactico from Livvy that Tugay bamboozled as easily as he'd have done with a tailors dummy? If it had been the other way around it'd still be on the MoTD starting sequence.

Thats how I remember it.

Great player and servant to Rovers...I hope he gets the sendoff he deserves...I just hope the Riversiders don't "Do One" before the end as usual....

[sambo]

^ That would infuriate me!

Any idea if the club has anything planned for it?

I certainly hope so Sambo...

They were interviewing people apparently before the last game.

I absolutely love that goal! When I lived with a mate of mine who's a Liverpool fan, I used show him this goal every time before we were watching a movie from my computer. I always asked him, where is Gerrard going?

If kids tries to learn the step-over, they should watch that from Tugay. It doesn't come better. Brilliant!

What, like people in the other stands do, sneaking down their little exit halfway down the stand?

Love the walk off bit, Rog!

I remember 2 seasons ago, final match against Reading (when he almost got in a fight with Hunt during the walkoff). Ball just about to go out of bounds, he runs over, steps on it on the line to stop it, momentum taking him way out of bounds and then we go and score.

[roversmum]

There was a classic against Man United at Ewood when he got 'injured' and spent the final few minutes rolling around clutching his knee, only to make a full recovery by the final whistle!
