John Scales at Melwood yesterday

[chris71]

Anyone know what Scales was doing around yesterday? Is he going to be joining the coaching or reserve set up maybe? Or did he just come back for a mirrior he left behind ten years ago?

[Maldini]

He organises schools sports tournaments these days so it was probably something to do with that.

[chris71]

Phew! That's ok so.

[NIred1]

He's weighing up his options.

[Antynwa]

He popped in with some Jaffa Cakes, sat off with Rafa and told him not to sell Alonso.

[algeo]

He shared a lift with Phil Babb

[Bourbon]

There may be a remaining 0.002% of the female population on Merseryside that he didn't sausage.

[Bigsy]

him and oyvind leonhardsen are gonna be on the coaching staff.

[paddyberger15]

He heard that Goldfinger was hiding in Rafa's stationery cupboard.

Was he a bit of a playa?

[The Golden Eel]

Was he a bit of a playa?

 

 

There were certainly rumours before he signed that he was a player. Turned out to be only rumours...

 

As for a playa, i dont know...

[Code]

Am I the only one to actually think Scales was a great player, just really unlucky with injuries?

 

He was easily the best CB we had back then, not that it says much though.

No you aren't. He had all the credentials to be a top class centre back for us and put in the bracket just below Jockey and Lawro. However, because of injuries and the short time he spent with us, he will be remembered as the bloke who was nearly as good as Mark Wright.

I liked Scales as a player, he looked composed, decent in the air, comfy on the deck, could move with the ball and had some pace about him.

[Juan Galonso]

I had 12 Scales on the Netto bag away kit in 94. Very good player for us before he started getting injured.

[Original202]

He was awesome in the 94/95 season. Went down hill quite quickly after that though.

 

I seem to remember once Redknapp changed his number from 15 to 11, and Scales from 12 to 3, they both spent more time on the injury table than the pitch.

 

In fact, bar one great season in 96/97, Fowler went the same way when he swapped number 23 for number 9. McManaman too to a certain extent swapping 17 to 7.

 

A lesson for any kids coming through the ranks. Or more likely just a ridiculous coincidence and I'm talking shite.

that little gem deserved some appreciation...hehehe.
