Big Mac anyone??!!

[bees78]

Looks like McCammon is signing for Brighton after 'impressing' in his loan spell...couldn't we have got him back? or is that dangerous(i.e. never works)?!

 

[Snappy]

And why exactly would we want him back?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

More of an eye for goal than any others currently wearing the red and white.

 

[Snappy]

Oh sorry, didn't realise this was a wind-up thread, in that case, yes, we should have signed him up, what do we need with Burton and Rankin when we could have the Trolley back!? Actually, I'd go as far as to question Sven as to why he isn't in the England squad!

Come on, are you seriously calling 12 goals in 84 appearances for us, 0 goals in 7 appearances for Brighton and only 14 goals in his whole 8 year professional career having an 'eye for goal'?

lol I hope you are joking!

 

[JBN]

Perhaps we should sign Stevie Wonder

 

[bigmac]

Did someone call my name?.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

lol I hope you are joking!

Of course not.
Scored 2 superb goals in our 3-2 win at Stockport, one was a rampaging run and finish in the opening minutes where there must have been a 10 sec delay before we jumped around like morons and the second was a towering header and his celebrations with us were huge.
Oh for a player capable of a couple of goals in a game. I'll settle for one goal come to think of it.

 

[Wee Dave]

lol

 

[North London Bee]

No no no never !!!

Let's open a thread to name players who came back to GP and ddcide how many of them did well

- Roger Cross - yes brilliant in both spells

- John Docherty - yes in all 3

- Andy Ansah - good in his first loan spell, crap in the second

- Graham Benstead - awful on his return in 1997

- Bob Booker - our Prem League signing - not too good

- Scott Canham - great on loan, poor when signed - thanks to Webb

- Lee Forst - what a fantastic loan signing but just awful when we signed him - a winger not a striker

- Alan Glover - average both times

- Dean Holdsworth - not bad on loan, fantastic as a full signing

- Carl Hutchings - lets draw a veil over his return

- Steve Jenkins - who ?

- Detsi K - fantastic loan signing , poor attitude the next season

- Gordon Sweetzer - no knees left on his return and a sad shadow of a great striker

- Neil Smillie - promising kid on loan matured into a great pro on his return

- Tony Sealy - actually not too bad in his first spell, a rotund shocker in his second

- Paul Priddy - not bad in his first spell, not really seen on his return

Over to the rest of you !!

 

[Nigel Brooks]

I'm rarely disrespectful about anyone who wears (or has worn) the precious red and white but a phrase containing the following springs to mind

Couldn't hit

Cow ar5e

with

Banjo

Brighton are welcome to him.

 

[longdistancebee]

Could someone please enlighten as to why MM called 'Trolley'? I have an idea, but would love to know the background!!!

 

[Boston Bee]

Sooooper, Super Mark
Sooooper, Super Mark
Sooooper, Super Mark
Sooper Mark McCammon

Then he misheads from 4 yards in the playoff final, 20 minutes left and down 2-0.

You can guess the rest.

 

[Bee H]

Loftus Road ? I will never forgive nor like him after 'that' miss.

:mad1: :mad1: :mad1: :mad1: :mad1:

The Millennium wasn't too good either ! How he has made a living out of football is way, way beyond me and probably all of you.

Talentless donkey full stop.

 

[Nigel Brooks]

SuperMARK
SuperMARK
SuperMARK...........et TROLLEY


His nickname when he first arrived with those 'welcoming' chaps at Millwall was 'The Sherrif'.

After Blazing Saddles in which they did not know that their new sherrif was black. nice eh?

 

[Nigel Brooks]

Loftus Road ? I will never forgive nor like him after 'that' miss.

:mad1: :mad1: :mad1: :mad1: :mad1:

I think you have to train specially to head the ball into the ground and over the crossbar from six yards!

Super Mark-et trolley!! Very good, gentlemen, very good. Now back on your heads!!

What, is the tea-break over already?

 

[bees78]

...so generally happy he's on his way to Brighton then....

 

[davebee]

...so generally happy he's on his way to Brighton then....

I couldn't give a sh*t where he plays, so long as it isnt in the might red and white

 

[ianallon]

Well I thought he was quite good :shrug:

 

[Beesnut]

He was lighting fast,big,and had a lot of prescence,scared defenders.However,couldn't score enough,so no thanks.

 

[Mr Tree]

as well as being talentless and completely rubbish, i heard (i think it was Bee H who told me in fact) that he's a knob too - used to swagger round the training ground thinking he was a star.

shone a little bit in Wally's team of a couple of years ago. still scored very few goals in that time tho. one of those sort of players who looks like he should be a good player, but just isn't - can;t believe there's only been a brief mention of his remarkable miss at the MilStad when he had an open goal to head in but headed it back to the keeper!

 

[keefor]

...so generally happy he's on his way to Brighton then....

lol take a look over at some of the Brighton boards for their reaction.

millwall boards have a few interesting comments as well

 

[BoroBee]

He was lighting fast,big,and had a lot of prescence,scared defenders.However,couldn't score enough,so no thanks.

I assume you mean "lightning" rather than commenting on his ability to fasten bulbs and the like, but I digress.... Mark was one of the wonders of the age, a man who could beat three or four players sometimes hurdling flying tackles, run the length of the pitch with the ball at his feet and then..... fall over the ball at the by-line

One of those players (ahem Eddie..) that you watch and begin to question your own judgement; you start to think "Well he's in the team every week / got a great transfer to a higher league club, I must be missing something? One day he will get "found out", but bizarrely, it never happens." :shrug:

 

[Simon C]

can;t believe there's only been a brief mention of his remarkable miss at the MilStad when he had an open goal to head in but headed it back to the keeper!

Or at Loftus Rd.

 

[SigiBee]

The Trolley's total and absolute lack of radar to tell him where the goal was was an extraordinary feature of his game. Very occasionally he would surprise us with a defence splitting run ............and then (as has been said above) fall over his own feet. The name EEYORE springs to mind. What the heck does Mark McGee see in him? The day he bought him off us for £25K I swear I saw pigs flying over my rooflight.

 

[JANORAK]

Blimey, I never realised that somebody else (apart from us) had actually paid money for him....

 

[Billy Hunt]

Nothing to add, just glad I'm not the only saddo posting at this ridiculous hour.

[West Ealing Bee]

I'm fairly sure he left on a free, to get him off the wage bill.

 

[bees78]

IMHO I think we need a extra player to cover centre midfield and a striker, to see us through to the end of the season as well as keeping May for cover

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Just a timely reminder of a 2 goal a game hero from better times.

 

[Leonardo]

Someone given him some contact lenses?
I spewed out a mouth of tea when I saw he'd scored not just once but twice!

 

[bees78]

Just a timely reminder of a 2 goal a game hero from better times.

First goal was a brilliant header but second was a 'Big Mac' goal in off the shin...apparently Mcghee didn't sign him for his goalscoring abilities but his support play??!!

 

[simon_porter00]

slightly memory lane but i remember his first goal in front of the brook rd faithful after seemingly 900 years waiting for himto score. marky mac, the fans, in fact everyone went nuts. one of my best memories at griffin park IMHO.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I remember his run at York in the Cup, went round almost the whole team was kicked in the head and laid out sparko. 400 Bees fans going mad in the artic conditions. lol
I'm surprised who much he is hated by some of us, decent bloke with my nipper and celebrated bigtime with us when he could.
Crap footballer but by christ we've had worse.
Never came across as a my poo doesn't smell non scoring centre forward who gets MOM just for turning up!

 

[Berkshire Bee]

NB - I didn't go to that game but how did he manage to get kicked in the head was it a karate kick or something similar ?,lol. He wasn't the smallest player on the pitch.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

He had just been tripped and another Yorkie flew in and booted him whilst he was on the floor. The comical element of this was superb if a little concerning at the time but you really had to be there. We had 10 men, Beeby (Northampton's finest ) was the Ref and we were hanging on with Superman in goal. 10 lionhearted Bees players giving their all and the Trolley putting in immense effort.

 

[finchbee]

One word...... "NO"

 

[bees78]

...two goals for Brighton were his first for two years, he must of been saving them up!!!

 

[Streetboy]

Just a timely reminder of a 2 goal a game hero from better times.

I still firmly belive he got a hat-tirck as Stockport that day, his third was never offside.

Incidently, Mac for once wasn't the biggest gangly oaf on the pitch that day, as the Stockport line-up included one Cartlon Palmer.

And I'll never forget the Mac's glorious goal against Swindon...

 

[bees78]

Another one for the Mac, may keep Brighton up?!

 

[Beesnut]

Another one for the Mac, may keep Brighton up?!

It was more strength than skill,held of his marker and nodded it into the bottom corner.Still,a goal's a goal,and they only won it 2-1,so it was an important one

 

[bees78]

:yes: ...big result, especially against Sunderland!

 

[brighton bee]

(unts! lets just hope were up there with them next season or ill never liv it down!

 

[alikat]

Mac can't seem to stop scoring at the moment! I say thoroughly good luck to him - he may not have been the best forward we ever had, but he was FAR from the worst and he always seemed to give 100% for us.

He also seems a thoroughly decent guy as well - willingly gave his autograph to my daughter when we were in Ashford Tesco's when he was still with us.

 

[sussexb]

I remember him coming on against Wycombe away (I think), and about thirty seconds later trying to tackle a defender, and getting booked for persistent fouling! As the ref's pointing all round the field saying "one there, one there etc." Marky Mac doesn't even have the sense to tell him that he's only been on the field 20 seconds...!
