Tino Asprilla Is scheduled for this weekends half time hero The greatest ever player i have seen play for NUFC, may of been to blame for the crumble when we were running away with it but at times showed his class for the club - and he brayed Keith Curle as well I remember the day he'd just got off the plane and come on as a sub - it was then Neil Cox soon had a herald and post in his hand and Tino was away down the wing. I could go on but wont, Toon fans know the script Tino Asprilla
EDIT: I was at the Darlington game when Tino walked round the pitch & meant to be signing next day for Darlo but he bolted & went & played for a team in Saudi instead.
Love watching the video of that.. I almost didn't go at the time.. Had an argument with my dad and he said I couldn't go, thankfully I grovelled and was very glad I went.
Re: Tino Asprilla There was a Tv and satelite shop in town just along from where tucci is now, one of the first places to show the match on saturdays on the norwegian channel, must have been about 50-75 people all crowed round the window of the shop watching that. Good days
The Barcelona game i was proud to be wearing an NUFC top with Asprilla 11 on the back, i lost me voice that night and was sitting on me tod all game cos none of me mates at the time fancied it I was also spotted at the match on the "pat n mick" and got sacked the next day
was the barca game where he took his shirt off put it on the corner flag an started wavin it about????? then got promptly booked!!!] proper legend like,,,much 4 tino
Btw it wasnt the Barca game where he took his top off it was against Ferenczvaros or summit like that ?!?! It was when Ginola scored that goal where he was keeping it up with his left and right then raked it with his right foot into the top corner
Nah it was against Metz where he took his shirt off & put it on the corner flag. That Ginola goal was fucking mint though.
And how long did it take to sign him as well ?!?! It was a total fanny on. Like i said earlier tho THEE best player i have seen play for NUFC, i doubt in my genereration ill witness better. Shola's good like
tino was class imo but his goal ratio was shite like in 68games he only scored sumthing like 18goals and 3were against barca !!! still a legend tho.....
