strachanmcgheegoal Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Never mind strikes. My abiding memory of that second spell was us winning a throw and every other player in red turning their backs, not interested in taking the ball from it. Link to comment
Fridge Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 1 minute ago, muttonhumper said: Especially, contrary to popular or mainstream opinion, when he returned. He single handedly kept that shite team up for a couple of seasons. Some of the strikes he put away, fucking superb. Indeed he ended up being frustrating to watch sometimes as he had to go back to the keeper to get the ball all the time as the rest of the team were so hilariously pish. Link to comment
Sheepo Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Some of my best memories as a Dons fan and going to games since 1978 involve Jess. Zero's hat trick at Dens was my abiding memory of him. Jess the 2nd time around kept possibly the poorest Dons team of my time in the division a couple of season. I couldn't give a shit who else he played for and what he did there, although Millermong quoting Coventry and Bradford to modern fans might sound shit now but both were EPL teams then Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 He was unstoppable the period leading up to when he got his injury during his first spell. Was a different player during his second spell when he was mainly playing deeper in midfield. Link to comment

Played for FUS Rabat, Aberdeen, some UAE club then some other Moroccan lot. I've no ill will towards the boy but those stats sum him up, good entertainment for kids and wifies during a shite period. 3 in 17 “A goal every second game” Never change Millermong, never change ?

Weak? 1 Link to comment

I don't think anyone would dispute that. He most certainly wasn't a brilliant player though!! He could pull a wonder strike, or a fancy flick, out of nothing and it would get the fans off their seat! I was a season ticket holders in those days - and he was one of the few players I enjoyed watching from time to time. However, most of the time he was a waste of space, who contributed next to nothing. A total passenger - the reason he was often on the bench! Don't get me wrong - I used to be among the supporters chanting for him to come on - to liven up an otherwise boring afternoon! A 'brilliant player' - c'mon mate!. A cult hero - certainly! Says it all about where he went after Aberdeen! If he had any substance about him, he'd have got another British/European club... as it turned out, he left us in his mid-20s, bounced around the middle east, then back to Africa and was washed up by 27 y/o before meeting his demise - which was really sad! Even during Jess's second spell, he was the driving force in our team and was several levels above anyone else. I'm not old enough to remember Miller, Strachan, Weir, etc... so Jess was the best player I've ever seen play for Aberdeen, by a country mile! The Jess stuff is just MT having a crack back at folk! I know MT had a friendship with Zerouali - so he is just trying to defend his mate. 1 Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Did Zero not have a full on tantrum on the sidelines when getting subbed at the 2000 League Cup Final? Went mental at Ebbe and the coaching staff if I recall. 1 Link to comment

A well known poster on here (no names will be given) ran on to the pitch at the same time Hicham Zerouali was due to come on to the pitch during the Scottish Cup final that year, hence him booting the ball into the back of the dugout that day.

Yorston Vasey Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 A lot of former and future Dons at Coventry when Jess went there... played alongside Gordon Strachan, Michael O'Neill and Noel Whelan. He also played alongside a future Homes Under The Hammer presenter. How many other ex-Dons or TV stars were at Far Rabat? 1 Link to comment

Lencarl Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 You have to wonder if Glass has a direct feed to Aberdeen's dressing room after that change of play during yesterdays second half. Attack, Attack and Attack or your P45's will be in my office on Tuesday to collect. Link to comment

Whether that's Sheerin or Glass or a combination of both. As well as having most players playing in their proper positions and keeping the ball more. All better signs. 2 Link to comment
