We had some bloody good attacking players too. Robert, Solano, Bellamy and Shearer is the best NUFC attacking foursome of my lifetime, and I have a hard-time choosing between Shearer/Sir Les and Shearer/Bellamy for my favourite Toon strikeforce. What I'd give to have a player of Nobby's quality in the XI today though. What a wonderful little winger. Great skill, great delivery, great set pieces, great bunch of lads, great trumpet skillz. Beautiful. In his pomp he was linked with Real Madrid. I think he was genuinely world class. I was aghast when we sold him to Villa, delighted when we re-signed him and sad when we sold him to West Ham as a fading wingback. He came back to train with us briefly when we were in the Championship and I desperately wanted us to re-sign him. Even though he was long past his sell-by date, it's Nobby Solano ffs. Still playing for Hartlepool and recently started his coaching career with Newcastle Benfield. Love that guy.
