Justin

[channys6thswan]

He’s a throwback to another era, when you got 100% in every match from certain players, the ones that put in a shift all across the pitch, and then came off the pitch with no airs and graces, like a kid who’s just been in a kickabout with his mates on the rec.

 

[What?]

He always reminds me of Lee Evans

 

[jackieguaccamo]

He's done whatever he's been asked to do.

Top bloke.

 

[Adumass]

i love how he seems happy to play in any position, and often has to switch to 3 different positions in a game.
yesterdays half time change to make him and fofana attacking centre halfs was great. they spent more time on the edge of the braga box than their own.

 

[mickyhoss]

He reminds me of D.Rofe, not the worlds greatest but a good solid player

 

[channys6thswan]

He was one of those I was thinking about Micky. Maybe he could develop into an Alan Ball. As long as he doesn’t go into management afterwards.

I can remember when Dennis Rofe came in for the beloved Nish and we thought the world had ended but after not long at all we all warmed to him, I never heard anyone bad mouth him

 

[channys6thswan]

Rofe was one of our best buys under the radar. Justin could well be, too.

 

[jackieguaccamo]

I remember that goal he scored, as a kid it was the hardest and longest shot i'd ever seen. It was probably nothing like it, but in my head it was a worldy, before worldys had even been invented.

 

[Scoops]

And he lived in Narborough amongst the people who paid his wages. None of that mock Tudor footballers mansion in Alderley Edge in those days !

Was that QPR at Filbo when Bob Hazel put Mark Goodwin into orbit?

 

[jackieguaccamo]

It was at Filbo, I have no idea who it was against, he fucking thumped it and it flew in. Like a fucking rocket it was Micky.

 

[channys6thswan]

I remember it as QPR. From the half way line it seemed like.

Aye, it defo was QPR, Rofe already had two shots that threatened the first few rows of the double decker when he got the ball 30 yards out and my mate Banno shouts "Don't fucking shoot.............YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

Justin is a proper athlete very similar to young Wes, they both have as they say a great engine !

Was Chris Woods in goal for QPR or have I drempt that?

 

[youlittleripper]

If you could add Thomas' final ball into the box to Justins all round game he'd be one hell of player.

Think it was Phil Parkes....maybe

“Dennis scored some memorable goals for Leicester City. One was a solo run from the half-way line to clinch a win at against Birmingham City at St. Andrews.

He continued: “For some reason in that game, Jimmy elected to play with a back three. I started the game as a left-wing-back. We’d had a few words in the dressing room at half-time about this back three. I wasn’t very happy. Near the end, Jon Sammels hit a lovely through ball. The Birmingham back four pushed up, I got through, took off like a scolded cat, went round the 'keeper and slotted it in.

“I also got both goals at Swansea in a 2-0 win. Alan Curtis told me later that their goalkeeper’s hands were still tingling from trying to stop those shots! I also scored against QPR’s Phil Parkes from a free-kick in my own half! I scored 13 goals in my career and I could run you through all of them!”

 

[mickyhoss]

Hmm, Not convinced it was Phil Parkes because Parkes moved to West Ham in 1979 and he played v Leicester at Filbo in the October when he played a blinder in a 2-1 win for WHU. Rofe's wonder goal was 29/12/79 v QPR

 

[Hampshirefox]

The one I was thinking about was the free kick mentioned in Mac's snippet above so probably got my wires crossed. It was at the Filbert St end too not the Double Decker.

Rofe and Henderson scored at the Kop end and we won 2-0

 

[Bradnor]

The brace at Swansea - that made for a great away day. Both top corner pile drivers from well outside the box as I remember (40 years ago this very autumn)

 

[channys6thswan]

The confusion comes from him scoring two against QPR at home. One in 76, and the one after Christmas in 79.

The 1979 one was superb, went like a bullet

 

[borebage53]

Remember his 2 goals at the Vetch. The co-driver got off our bus outside a newsagents to ask the way to the ground and a crazy Taff attacked him with an empty milk crate!

After his winner went in , the coins rained down upon us!
