Bobby Fulton - just how good was Bozo?

[Card Shark]

Immortal player.

Great coach.

Diabolical selector.

That about sums him up.

Wasn't he also a talented cement truck driver?

 

[POPEYE]

Immortal player.

Great coach.

Diabolical selector.

Never coached a team that wasn't choc-a-bloc full of champions, when he found a player some other coach had nurtured and he wanted Arko obliged.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

He was good at ripping the heart out of a team while still coaching them.

 

[betcats]

He is just a shit selector to me, seriously just f**k off you old merkin.

 

[sharknows]

As a footballer one of the best....as a human being one of the worst..

 

[madunit]

From what I've seen, read and heard, he was surprisingly fast off the mark and got outside his man with ease so often. Great passing game, great vision, great dummy.

Bill Harrigan fan?

So Craig Bellamy level coach

Can't win without the best player ever in his team

 

[betcats]

Haha craig Bellamy the overrated f**k best hooker ever, Best Fullback ever, Best current halfback, very good 5/8 til this season and only 1 premeirship..With that squad one is the minimum you need to prove you aren't useless.

Obviously I don't like him, but he should not be rated as high as he is imo.

 

[fred95]

Ok. I do not know much about Bozo. I've seen one game of his on DVD when he was past his peak ('78 Amco Cup final) but he was still pretty good.


But what do those who watched Fulton play think? There will be those here either old enough or with good enough video collections to make a judgement. Is he immortal class? Is he really deserving to be on the bench on the team of the century? How does he compare to other centres and 5/8s? Which modern player is he comparable too?


How good was Bobby Fulton?

 

[fred95]

Fulton was a superb football player, as a centre he was the greatest of them all, yet, when playing five eighth he dominated the field, toward the end of his career he moved to lock forward. I remember him playing that position for Easts, at half time we were ahead twenty something to nil, Bozo did"nt come back for the second half, we got a hiding. Fulton was smart, dirty, talented, would stop at nothing to win a game he would compare favourably with any player whoever played the game.

 

[axl rose]

Almost as good as Scott Fulton.

 

[POPEYE]

So Craig Bellamy level coach

Can't win without the best player ever in his team

'The' Eagle suits your Marvel Comic mentality, if Bellamy did the same as Fulton to procure players the Storm would be unbeatable. Craig will always be 10 times the coach Bob was because of his opposing view of poaching . . . maybe even a coaching 'immortal'

Hmm there is something wrong, I gave it too bellamy a page back and nothing from pops.

Only a f**king idiot would compare Fulton to Bellamy, to Stuart or Sheens maybe. Whatever you or I say about Bellamy is never going to sway the majority view . . . I'm just happy I'm not on the dark side of the force

 

[POPEYE]

Would someone check that Pops takes his meds in future?

Almost forgot you JM . . . is the meds thing all you've ever got

 

[betcats]

I didnt make that comparison pops, i just jumped on an oppurtunity to bag Bellamy but fair enough, im happy on the darkside.

 

[POPEYE]

That's why I didn't reply to the earlier remark . . . I don't consider you a f**king idiot

 

[betcats]

Wow that is high praise coming you haha.
