Making Promotion A Certainty

Devongreenowl · Apr 4, 2020

(Or as near as damn it!)

If you could bring in one player from a previous Argyle side who would make automatic promotion a near certainty, who would you bring in

a. To this seasons starting line up

b. To any previous seasons starting line up where we just missed out on promotion.

c. And who would they replace

Only rule is the player must have previously played for Argyle in the division you are proposing to bring him into. So no championship players coming into this season's team, unless they also played in the bottom division too

No Mariner or Tynan then?? :sad:

Mick Heathcote for Wootton??

I tell you how good Heathcote was: I saw a game at HP where he went for a header (opposition goal kick) the ball swirled in the wind and went over him!! :shock:
The whole crowd gasped!! Heathcote missed a defensive header!! What!!?? Hold the front page!!

Only other one he missed was Reilly I suspect!! :lol:

Should have included this at beginning

d. Who would have saved us from any relegation season. Same rules apply

Great choice Poogles re Heathcote. I'd class him as a stopper as he didn't get the nickname hoof for nothing,.

Possibly one of the best headers of the ball in a defensive situation and an inspirational leader of men.

You’re getting him confused with another good lower-League CB, Lindsay Smith.

Got to be Cocko then. Another Argyle man who played for THEM!

Swan for McCarthy 93/94.
Would at least have made Wembley.

Do you mean McCall?

Green Painter · Apr 4, 2020

Curtis Nelson for Wootton or Canavan
David Friio for Connor Grant

Gary Wills · Apr 4, 2020

No way, duck.

McCall was amazing, would never swap him.

McCarthy was a loaned defender. And happens that Swan was the parable of certainty.

Frio for anyone.

Yes I thought there was something 'wrong' about the Reilly reference. I'll stick with Hoof Heathcote he obviously only missed one header!! (This IS the 4th Division!).
