Sodje and Constantine

[Valiant in Brum]

I was thinking today when I last saw a player who truly got me up of my seat at the vale and these two sprung to mind I can see sodje running for lost causes into corners and getting there more often than not! Constantine although lazy at times he did the one thing you wanted see score a bloody goal or two!

 

Anyone else think of the last player or players to truly excite the crowd?

Pretty funny as Vale fans never appreciated constatine when he was here. Pretty sad really followinv our demise after they both left.

Not really I did state he could be lazy at times but I never faulted his marksmanship

People moaned at Constantine constantly. I remember an away game at Oldham in 2005/6 when he scored the only goal of the game with one touch after our following had been calling him a "clown", "lazy bones" and told to "wake up".

 

Best first touch I have ever seen. I am certain he would have been established at Leeds had he not broken his leg.

The best first touch Ive ever seen was bergkamp v Newcastle over and to the side of the defender before slotting past the keeper , if Constantines was better than that then fair play

I remember Constantine getting dog's abuse on here, even when he was scoring goals for fun.

People were at the matches saying he wasn't trying hard enough.

Taken from Wikipedia 'Despite finishing the season with 26 goals in all competitions for Port Vale (38 in 18 months for the club) he was never a fan favourite at Vale Park, and instead picked up a vocal minority of detractors who condemned his relaxed attitude on the pitch as proof of him being "lazy".'

Most recent for me is Enoch Andoh.

 

Noticed earlier how Enoch is now playing for Whitehawk FC. His injury was a real shame because he was one hell of a player when at his best.

The last player to get me out of my seat was Lee Hughes.

Beckford & Earle, every time I saw them I was impressed at their telepathic reading of each others position. Pure quality. Oh, and any number of Tony Naylor goals.

Tony Naylor a different class completely, how he never ended up in the premiership.

Because he was a dwarf. My career was similarly hampered.
