Goodie has had the weight of a rape allegation heavily restricting his career, and still on-going.

Barry Douglas was much underrated by a large number of United supporters, management too.

Goodie for me too. Genuinely felt we had one of the best Strikers in Britain on our hands from 2010-2012.His career has just went nowhere really since he left Utd that first time.

Player who left who I didn't think would amount to much was Paul Caddis.He's went on to have quite a good career in England.Has played over 200 games and Captained Birmingham City as well as Scotland U21.Was also fully capped earlier this year.

Blackburn wouldn't play Goodie up top, preferring to stick him out wide which is not the kind of player he is.

Didn't come back the same player that left. On his return, he ran about a lot because he  wasn't getting the service - trying to force something but again it wasn't his game.

Feel sorry for him and am sure a decent run in a team would see him get back to a decent level

One is a cup goalscoring legend, the other, pfft.

Move along.

 

Agreed
 

sorry if I missed the point TEK

Thought he was going to leave united and be a big deal - Duncan Ferguson. Ok, he won an FA cup and a shit load of money, when he first came on the scene I thought he would be leading Scotland to world cup finals and playing for Manchester United or Liverpool when they won English and maybe European titles.

Thought he was going to leave  United and do nothing - Mulgrew or Sturrock the manager.
 

I also thought Goodie was going have a fantastic career in premiership, he's probably my favourite united player of last 20 years

Thought he would leave and be a big deal - There's time for this one yet but I thought wee Gauldies career would be flying by now.

Thought he would leave and do nothing - hard to think of too many who have went on to do massively better than Utd TBH, certainly many who you didn't see coming.  Possibly go back to Alex Cleland who did well in a decent Rangers team and while he was decent for us, didn't really see him being much better than that.
