so former player so in 'player' section i guess!

anyway reading in the programme he might retire due to him being 'picked on' by referees. is this surprising!?

he was a legend though, at least if swindon were losing you could watch bullock until he got sent off cause you knew he was going to do something! This pic of him just sums him up really:

Out of his depth in Division 1. Although not as bad as Scott Leitch, who I thought would have been a star had he stayed on in Div 2.

 To be fair Johno, Bullock although a bona fide psycho, only got sent off the once for us, compared to David (Thug) Duke twice.......Sam(Nutter) Parkin twice......Jerel (Kryptonite) Ifil twice.

i prefered lee collins at the centre of midfield, the 5ft 2 terrier in the middle, always entertaining when he used to get stuck it!  :twisted:

I remember the Swindon 2-0 Manchester City game when Lee Collins marked (or should that be kicked) Georgi Kinkladze out of the game,

Agree hundred per cent on Leitch mate. My God how much have we needed a Leitch circa 98 this season.

He went on to be one of the first names on the teamsheet at SPL side Motherwell. OK, the SPL isnt great, but its better than division 3.

Case of Todd throwing the baby out with the bathwater Im affraid.

leitch was brilliant, shame he left, but it wasn't surprising, i believe he still at motherwell as captain!

No he wasn't, he was fucking awful. But I think he would have been brilliant in a lower league.

oh well difference of opinion.... if you were that guy in the town end yesterday you would have hit me by now! :wink:

Difference of opinion? Almost everytime Leitch got the ball during that shocking run he was booed by the entire ground.

can never recall that.... i always thought he was good?

That's bollocks about Leitch, he was a fairly decent player would have been just what we needed now. He was strong, committed, good tackler and could spray the ball about.

What's bollocks about Leitch? That he was very unpopular and a poor performer in his last year here or that he would have done a very good job in Division 2?

I think he might have been objecting to you calling him awful.

I never booed Leitch and liked him to his last days at the club. If you were going to slate a midfielder in that team it had to be Lee Collins who was AWFUL!

I was watching Motherwell vs Hibs on Sky sports about 6 months after he had left us, just to see how he was getting on. About 3 minutes in he absolutely flattened James Lovell - totally took him out. Lovell got up, and there was a close up of Leitch and you could read his lips. Reading he said, thats for being Reading.

Quality.   :D  wish more players would feel that tribal pull.

I never disliked Leitch but there was a spell where he was dismal, despite having all the qualities of a very good player. That's why I think he would have dominated a league below.

Jesus Christ, that's so stupid Boeta I should have said it.

It defies logic admittedly, but he had all the attributes of an good player but just kept fucking up. The difference between Division 1 and 2 is pretty big and Leitch's style of play would of suited it down to the ground.

About him being booed all the time in that shocking run or last year he was here. I never missed a home game that season and went to a fair few aways and never saw him singled out for abuse more than any other player in that dire season.

I do recall him having a fight with Mark Robinson in one game, which kind of endeared me to him because I often felt like taking a swing at Robbo.

 For 15K Leitch was value for money, without  ever being that great......would walk into our present side though.

I'm sorry but I thought Leitch was a first class player and don't remember him being bood at all, in fact when Ndah got player of the season (i think he did?) my choice was Leitch. I would love to see him in this team, and the only reason he left was because we could no longer affors his wages.

The fight with robbo was down to robbo yet again making an error which led directly to a goal, as captain Leitch ran over to give him a roasting, so being the gent that he was robbo hit him because he could not handle the truth.

Scott Leitch was class. I dont remember him ever getting any shit from the crowd. Even during his fianl season i remeber him as one of our top 3 players

The best defensive midfield player we've had since Luc Nijholt.

Except Nijholt was a right back.

I remember Leitch being a ver unpopular player where I used to sit and on the old mailing list, unless my memory really is shocking.

Was he bollocks! He was drafted in by Gorman to add some steel to our midfield!

I think you're memory really is failing you Boeta.

Reg, can you adjudicate please? I cant be arsed to look it up

Other positions: Right Back

So I wasn't completely wrong

no, just mostly

Bullock I don't remember that much about, except the goal against brum(I think on his debut).  Rarely attended the time you are talking about with Leitch, still I remember him getting 9/10 in the sun one game that year and Ndah saying 'we're a completley different team when Scott plays'.

Perhaps I was wrong, but my memory of Leitch is trying that he used to actually think he could play football and hit several attempted cross field passes every game which would go straight to the oppostion. He was our number one ball winner and our number one ball loser.

Leitch was class. Anyone remember that injury he got when you could see the bone in his leg. QPR wasn't it? You had to cringe!

He was one of my favourites along with Ndah, Hay and Walters! That is the team I began supporting Swindon with and I will never forget it. Truly legendary!

That thing about Reading: CLASS!

I liked Leitch a lot until one afternoon, the game was against Stockport when we received the League Trophy, in the McMahon era, my missus had treated me to a corporate day at the ground as a birthday treat,and as i came off the pitch with Mr McMahon after a pre-match tour i caught mr leitch chatting my missus up,bloody cheek!!!!!! :beers

Its quite funny really. This topic is titled hardnut Bullock and were going on about Scott Leitch!

that was what i was intending when i started it!  :wink:
