Was absolutely brilliant for us a proper winger. And when him and pennant was on the pitch an almost perfect 4:4:2 or 4:4:1:1 or inverted 4:4:1:1 or is it inverted 4:4:2 a joy to watch for sure , way better than the pavilion clapping that football has since become in the inverted whatever formation of boredom

Beattie's movement off the ball there was sublime. You can't teach that. Would give my right nut to have a prime Beattie in our squad right now.

Wow, you're a barrel of laughs it was meant as tongue in cheek in response to the rumours on here years ago! turned out he had a bad back but some posters decided he was gambling again! Everyone knows he was a big gambler, shouldn’t take the piss out of that really.

Etherington was brilliant for us, and I'd like to think we were brilliant for him!!! Out of everything he did for us, I'll never forget his opening goal in the FA Cup Semi-final!!! 👍🏼

Great times when Matty was here. Played his best football for us I hope thats a poor attempt at humor, Matty gave his all for us. It's posts like this that make me scratch my head with the oatcake. Is this a level of humour i don't understand, or am i not in on a joke?

Along with the Beattie moment he put a superb ball in for Deano v Arse in the cup. Thought at the time he delayed too long but picked him out brilliantly. Great goal at Spurs as well. Was a genius TP signing.

Hope he gets a massive reception of "Etherington, Etherington running down the wing....." when he comes out of the tunnel!!!
Then that's it until after the game!!! 😁

Was a genius TP signing. Was it the Etherington signing that gave us the dog’s home comment? Was either him or Pennant

One of my favourite players from our stay in the Premier League. I think Etherington was arguably the most important signing we made. He was the first player we signed who was 'next level' who had the ability to create match winning moments but who also had the ethos and DNA which made us overperform for as long as we did. He kind of bridged the gap between the spirit of the promotion squad and the flair players which would come later on as he was a bit of both. He deserves a hero's welcome this weekend...

Did Matty get a good reception ? Was just about to ask the same? Presumably the main stand gave him a nice reception? I was in the ground from 2.10pm and heard nothing.

Did Matty get a good reception ? There was no special announcement for him, which was a shame.

Said to lad next to me (who told me he was 18) 'did you know Matty was their assistant'
He had never heard of him !!!

Absolutely mate, proper striker The best - arguably even the only - proper centre forward we had in the Prem The benefit we had with Beattie was that, despite him getting on a bit, he was on fire for half a season beforehand. The Beattie transfer was one of the only examples of Stoke buying a striker in form half way through a campaign that I can remember.
