boboisared Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Fergus Tiernan. Played in 52 games for Aberdeen and scored 1 goal. After playing for the Dons, he made the step up to Ross County, Dumbarton, and then Queen's Park. Retired in 2009, and is now a firefighter. Championship Manager 01-02 he, along with Ross O'Donoghue, was an absolute legend. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Michael Bird Much in the mould of Leon Mike, Bird was purchased as a'rough around the edges' young striker, signed from an English club after 'impressing the manager'. Unfortunately that manager happened to be Steve 'Pele' Paterson. A manager so inebriated most of the time that 'impressing' him probably constituted nothing more technically difficult than farting and burping at the same time. Reports regarding Bird, however, suggest he probably wasn't that skilled. If he was like Leon Mike in 'potential'... ie. having no potential whatsoever... he was like Tommy Wright in physique and footballing prowess. A big bastard with just about enough skill to put his boots on the right feet. According to Wikipedia, Bird played two first team games for Aberdeen... scoring none. This would be the season where Aberdeen had managed to finish second bottom to the worst Partick Thistle side in the history of Partick Thistle, managing to not only get themselves relegated from the SPL, but to get relegated to the Second Division at the first attempt. And I think, if memory serves me right, this was a Thistle side that beat Aberdeen four times that year. You can see a match report right here from one such game. It's easy to see why Bird found first team starts in short supply, though. He was fighting for a place against guys like Scott Michie (Who would go on to dazzle the world of football by ending up at Peterhead and Inverurie Loco), Darren Mackie (Who would famously go on to draw a wage at Aberdeen for minimal return), Scott 'There Goes My Cruciate' Booth, and Bryan Prunty (Who would end up in whatever Division Airdrie, Ayr Utd and Stirling Albion play in).

Karl Fletcher Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Love this thread. Malcolm Kpedekpo Signed as a schoolboy, Malcolm obviously had great belief in his Football career as he also spent a lot of his time studying, eventually earning a degree while still employed at Pittodrie. Dicked about at Aberdeen for a while before qutting Football all together and buggering off to Australia to work for KPMG. Now back in Scotland, he has his own company and has seemed to carve an excellent career out of Investment Banking http://www.pgequity.com/about-us/62-malcolm-kpedekpo A Striker, he made 11 appearances, scored 0 goals.

Ke1t Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Having watched pretty much every Phoenix USL game, and you all can by using the USL website, the standard is just dreadful. I'd estimate it to be Highland League standard, although I haven't been to a Highland League game in ten years, so Highland League standard 10 years ago.... I assume it's still much the same standard as then. Morrison just strolls through games and is by far Phoenix's best player, quite possibly one of the best players in the USL. Mackie, it's impossible to tell, because I can count the number of times he's actually had the ball delivered to him on one hand. He's missed a couple of sitters, but generally the service he's getting is pish poor. I'm sure he's capable of scoring goals in the USL, but as of now he hasn't. Link to comment
