Spencer Prior

[Hong Kong Blue]

At least half the posters on here would have him put down, let alone dropped, but I think he has been the lynchpin behind our rise from a team battling against relegation to the conference, to one on course for promotion to the Champion$hite.

I don´t care if he does make the occasional howler, I think he adds so much to this side.

I´d be interested to know our defensive record in the 50 odd games he´s played since he returned, as I suspect its one of the best in the country.

Finally, if he does get us promoted, will that be his 4th consecutive promotion with us? I can´t remember when we sold him to Naarwich. Even if its 4 in 5 that would be incredible

Fair call actually.

Was interested to read MtS stat that we had less in half as many goals again with Edwards compared to Prior.

I still cack myself everytime he gets it at the back but fair play to the big man cant argue with his results.

If I remember correctly Prior didnt play a part in the 89/90 promotion, and didnt play much part if anything during 90/91.

My memory isnt what it used to be though....

Spinner is fantastic in the air and you cannot knock his experience. He knows his limitations and usually plays to them. I'd have him and Sodje as first choice centre-halves week in week out. I'd actually place Hunt next in line for a CH spot before Barrett.

Bit harsh on barrett ORM - Hunt cant have played there more than 3 times in his SUFC career....

Agreed he aint been great but dont think im quite ready for Lewis Hunt yet

Think Spinner did play in the 89-90 promotion season. If I recall correctly think he broke his leg that season at home against Peterboro in a dire 0-0

Spinner adds a great deal of experience to our side. I do feel that he should not be used as regularly at the back though as he does lack pace. But I would call him a great squad player, because of his enthusiasm for the game and his experience, which the younger players can learn off of. He also went to my old school, Greensward, so that makes him a legend.

Spinner makes the defence tick, simple as.

He didn't want to play for you lot, as home was calling...

 

[col u]

He was not given the option of playing for us. Don't believe everything in the media.
