Re: George Boyd
He was on the Turf for the Everton game - I'm told he was far from impressed with our performance

Re: George Boyd
A great signing I was on when Boydy scored at Newcastle
Re: George Boyd
Was that the NYD game? The 3-3?

Re: George Boyd
I was a big fan of George Boyd. Never forget his winner v Man City. Of course he was pilloried by many for carrying out Dyche’s instructions to the letter.

Re: George Boyd
If he'd have had pace he'd have been a superstar.
A lot more skilfull than given credit for, and an absolute workhorse.
I'd have Boyd over most of the shite we've brought in - that's for sure.

Re: George Boyd
When a "The Squad are at Chester Races" thread was started following promotion somebody posted that George Boyd had just won 3:10 steeplechase or words to that effect. Proper corker.durhamclaret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 12:24 pmOne of the funniest posts on here was “George Boyd what’s the point”
Re: George Boyd
Makes sense I was working in Hale last spring and saw him on the school run, I resisted singing him his song, but did give him a nod.
So probably convenient, as Wythenshawes ground and training ground is literally a couple of miles around the corner

Re: George Boyd
George had probably left the BMW 4 x 4 at home and sprinted that distance then? . His kids probably the same.

Re: George Boyd
100 percenter was George, not surprised he wasn't impressed against Everton.

Actually 2020/21.
I assumed he’d got the managers job when I saw his name.

Scored the opener on his debut in the 55th minute v Cheadle today in Wythenshawe Towns 4 nil win. Big derby away at Wythenshawe boxing day.

Re: George Boyd
Boyd-inho, as he was known is still a Fantasy Football legend. Here's why;
Starting the 2014 season in the Hull team it became clear in the first couple of weeks he was out of favour, so the few who owned him sold, dropping his price below the already lowest possible midfielder price of 4.5m to 4.4m
Signing for Burnley before the window closed be instantly became the cheapest starting midfield in the game, perfect bench fodder. But his legend status came from the uncanny timing of his modest number of goals & assists coinciding with benchings or surprise absences of star players, namely Eden Hazard, the hot player that season. Turning despair to joy for many owners as they saw the 0s of Hazard replaced with points from Boyd the budget Burnley bench filler.
