sne Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Rather hilarious video of Tim missing a sitter of Rosenthalian proportions from his Norwich days making the rounds on twitter. Can't link it so here it is from another site. Quote NORWICH POACHER TIM SHERWOOD SKIES OPEN GOAL FROM SIX YARDS OUT AGAINST BRISTOL CITY, 1991 (VIDEO) 20th, November 2017 He may possess the managerial acumen of a Maris Piper, but Tim Sherwood was a perfectly decent central midfielder in his day – as his three England caps duly attest. In fact, back in 1999, Sherwood became the first player to be given an international debut during Kevin Keegan’s tenure when, aged 30, he turned out for the Three Lions in a 3-1 win over Poland in a Euro 2000 qualifier at Wembley. However, his serviceable reputation certainly wasn’t centred around a keen eye for goal, with Sherwood averaging roughly three or four goals per season in all of the Premier League campaigns leading up to his England nod. Not bad by any stretch, but not particularly great either. To be honest, his predatory instinct (or lack thereof) was fairly evident from a young age… http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/videos/262741/retro-football-tim-sherwood-misses-sitter-for-norwich-against-bristol-city-1991-video.html Edited November 20, 2017 by sne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few Tottenham games when he was managing them and it was fairly obvious he wasn't going to last long there. I was really surprised we went for him. Although he might have kept us up I thought the decisions made after that and not getting rid of him sooner set us up for the season we had when we were relegated.

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think both Sherwood and Garde got hung out to dry at their times with Villa due to the rambling mess behind the scenes. Right place, wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 To be fair, he did spark a bit of life in to us when we needed it. He tripped over the plug on our life support on his way out though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It elicits a nice picture in my head, so thank you for that Patrick whackerson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect as with most topics, the more middle-ground you are, the less motivated you are to tell everyone you're on the fence. I find him humourous. I find his unflappable self-confidence to be fascinating and commendable, and utterly bewildering, hence the hilarity. He didn't get us relegated, so I've no long-standing ill feeling. Bringing him in wasn't his fault. He did his best and was found wanting, as he always will be. Basically it's not his fault that he's him. But I can't help admire on some level the black-belt levels of blaggery that has gotten him the jobs he has held over the past few years. And we'll always have that cup run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but if he was found out earlier and not get us to a cup final or keeping us up then i suspect he would have never got the following season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
