What has any of this to do with Nathan Lowe? Yet another thread ruined. Admin, can’t you ban these people 🥲? Stop being gay |

Well he was pretty crap as a general footballer. Not good control or anything. But he had the heart of a lion and generally got himself hurt most games trying to win headers and go in where it hurts. So he scored a lot of his goals just by busting a gut getting on the end of crosses, as I remember. But indeed probably one of the lowest skilled footballers to make it in the First Division. I just remember that the ball used to bounce off him, but he always seemed to get into dangerous areas and cause a bit chaos with defenders. He wasn't popular though. Stoke fans moaned and groaned at him until he left. I think Stoke fans never really got over John Ritchie tbh. They always wanted another one like him and weren't very welcoming towards anyone who didn't seem to hit that level. I'm not sure a Chapman type would even work in the modern game. Liam Delap is the closest Ive seen to him, with his chaotic approach and rawness. That will change with Delap and he will develop other aspects to his game, but Chapman didn't really need to adapt in the era he was playing. He could be successful in the way he was. I remember him scoring a hatrick in a 5-0 win against Norwich but feeling frustrated as he could have scored another 4 on the day. I also remember buying my first pair of boots from a sports store in Stafford and his dad Roy the manager of Stafford Rangers was in there and talked me into getting some dubbing wax to protect them. |

I’m depressed Bayern, you have really burst my bubble, I always pictured you as the semi retired small business owner who smoked a pipe and travelled around in a carefully owned Rover Stirling and talked like Nigel Johnson ? But if your Dad can remember Chapman and you can’t, then that makes me older than you ! Fuck Bayern is about 22/23?  |

I was behind the goal in The Boothen for the penalty shoot out v Man City. Chapman took one and it almost hit the corner flag. We lost. I was there as well. 9-8 on penalties I believe. Chapman was the only one to miss. One of my fondest memories was him being stretchered off playing for Wednesday at Hillsborough and us singing: "Goodbye Chapman, Goodbye, We'll see you again, fuck off 'til then, Goodbye Chapman, Goodbye. I vaguely recall that. Bass has clouded my memory |

He reminds me a bit of Lee Chapman.  It's the hair Much better touch than Chapman but Chapman was bigger What an under rated player Chapman was. Squeezed the most out of his talent. Why was he so disliked here? Assumed it was his blonde hair 🤣 |

Assumed it was his blonde hair 🤣 Because he wasn't John Ritchie Because he was a donkey Because a section of our support always has it in for players coming through from the youth team However he scored lots of goals which really should have made him more popular |

He may have played for us but did he realy want to be here?
Has for Lowe,if he keeps scoring for Walsall,that's all the better for us in the future,so let's hope he can keep on scoring.

Definitely say he's more towards late 30's than early 20's. Surely not? No one that old still argues like a teenager His younger brother is the same age as me so definitely so, if I've got the right person. |

Assumed it was his blonde hair 🤣 Remember Chapman scoring with a header from outside the box v Ipswich. He headed it so hard it hit the back of the net before the diving Paul Cooper landed.Apparently used to beat his wife hard as well 😡 |
