red_dug Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Wrights career was all the more remarkable given the horriffic injury he had. That was often a career ender in those days. That brace at Easter Road in the cup will live with me forever. 2 brilliant finishes against an International goalkeeper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your right about boydy and Paul Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Eddie is a club legend and still one of the top goalscorers ever but I think Wright was a better all-round player. Their strike rates for Killie are very similar but a lot of Eddie's goals were scored outside of the top division. On the other hand, Eddie never took penalty kicks. Eddie was definitely better in the air. I don’t recall many Wright headers. Best to say that they were both great players and leave it at that!

Yes your right about boydy and Paul Wright I probably saw Andy playing quite a number of times but none of his goals ever left me with any visual memory at the time. The things which stuck out were that he was capable of scoring from the most unexpected opportunities (obviously baffled defenders as well) and the write ups in the papers over the following couple of days. One of my great regrets is that I turned down the opportunity to go to a game against Airdrie (1962 I think, and for a reason that's long forgotten) Andy scored 5 that day in a 8-0 victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I was at the Airdrie game as well as Falkirk (9-2) and Ross County (7 - something, probably 0!). I remember when Kerr signed for Sunderland we wondered who would score the goals but it all turned out fine! I can't remember much about him, to be honest. His goals seemed to usually be from close range, one touch - nothing spectacular. He just had that knack of being in the right place to turn the ball in. Strange to think that he was capped as a right-back before Thistle converted him to a striker. Even then, he was nothing spectacular until he signed from Killie from Man City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc he only bought his kids ice cream on a Saturday night if Killie had won that day . Unfortunately they had to do without their dessert quite often . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I think he was still getting over injury when he first signed for us, so he wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders in his early games (and he took some abuse for it). Alex Totten knew what he could do though and believed in him and what a player he became for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club was a basket case with no money and a moribund board.

Pompey Repatriated Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Anyone remember a period where Wright seemed to get really bad acne and his hair went all curly and scraggly and even had a big plaster on his nut at one point? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a penalty in the match before the Hibs one, a 2-1 Cup replay win over ICT at RP. Last league goals were the hat-trick at foggy Love Street on Boxing Day 2000. He finished the season with eight league goals from 15 (10) appearances, one Scottish Cup goal from 2 (1) appearances and failed to score in 3 (1) League Cup appearances (we lost to Celtic in the final). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what time does to your memory. I would never have guessed that was the last time he scored for us in the league. We had a cracking support that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
