I honestly don’t recall much about him but he played in one or two games during our Prem promotion year so can’t have been that bad !!?? Or was he ?
Pretty bad, yes. Do you remember the miss against Grimsby?! Edit - just seen it's on that video! It was 1-1 with about two minutes left. They went up the other end and scored pretty much straight away!
The thing is, @Jimmy viz and @JLWBigLil always insist that Willie Ferry made Big Dave look like Pele!
From what I can remember he missed a sitter against grimsby true enough. But in the game at man city he was involved in the clint marcelle winner. I reckon some people who never saw him play drop his name in when comparing players they think are bad. Not saying he was great but his poor image has grown over time.
He was dreadful. Truly dreadful. Yes he was involved in the goal at Man City, but only to randomly head the ball to whitley who then had a brain aneurism to allow marcelle to score. Even the one goal he scored was a shocker from the keeper. We let Rammell go, and Regis came in as replacement. We definitely got the worst of that deal.
Terrible player but done very well since retiring...... https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-regis-ba-hons-767b3022/?originalSubdomain=uk He could get booked for a future fan zone question and answers session https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/david-regis/
The last time I saw DR play was at Emley years ago.He was on the bench for Hucknell Town and he got on the pitch for the last minutes.
While I agree that Rammell was by far the better player, to be fair Regis was a makeweight in the deal. Didn't we get 150k plus Regis, who was valued at 50k? In hindsight we should have probably just taken the 150k!
