Steve Castle

[James J]

The team of 93/94 season is when I got hooked on Argyle so I have very fond memories of the players around then. Stevie Castle is high on my list of all time favourite players. Class midfielder.

From what I can remember while he was on the transfer list during that relegation season his performances were poor and he was never giving 100% . Barry Fry at Birmingham according to rumours wanted to sign him and when we played them at home (evening game) he turned in a brilliant all action performance in front of Fry. I think it disappointed some Argyle fans at the time tbh. I think he went on to sign for them so it worked!

A lot of it came down to illness (which he still suffers from) and injury.

I don’t think it’s well known by Argyle supporters that SC was also voted by Orient fans in a poll a few years ago as their best ever player of all time. Quite a tribute.

Fascinating stuff. What a legend that man is.

Mind you, I like the way he conveniently neglects to mention that he handed in a transfer request the summer after we lost to Burnley. He also fails to mention Peter Swan, which is just bizarre considering the destructive impact he had on that team.

On a broader level, it's further evidence if any is needed of just how much our location holds us back. Castle mentions Warren Joyce not being able to settle, as well as Paul Dalton nipping home to Middlesbrough at every opportunity. He even says that players are happy to sign for us but will only ever do a couple of years before looking for a move.

Mentioned by reference in the story of the punch-up I think.

 

[WoodsyGreen]

Not by name, though. Odd considering he name-checks practically every other member of the squad.

Guess he still harbours a grudge and who can blame him.

 

[IPA]

I reckon he was THE best box to box midfielder that ever played for Argyle.

Without doubt.

How many midfielders score 20+ goals in a season never mind when playing for Argyle?

Absolute legend.

And i thought we were seeing great football this season, some of their play was staggeringly good,the running on or off the ball was great to watch, had me oohing and aahing, Did not see that team in the day,it was my wilderness years,sadly.

I can't remember him (I'm 50)

Please tell me that’s tongue in cheek and I’ve been whooshed here :wtf:
