What opposition player did you always dread coming to the Riverside...

[Alzi]

I remember Kanu when he played for Portsmouth I think it was. He was 45 then and managed to out pace our entire defence from the half way line, whilst dribbling with the ball., to score

Chris Riggott running after him like he was giving Eamonn Holmes a piggy back.

 

[gregorgregorovich]

Every single forward who had ever played for us previously.

Always hated playing against Brian Deane! I remember him scoring on Juninhos debut, a goal for Leeds the day we were relegated and then the following season for Sheff Utd at the Riverside.

Was convinced we then bought him because we couldn’t figure out how to stop him scoring goals against us!

I was thinking just the same thing.
Pre us ... Everyone terrified of playing against him .
Moves to us .. everyone's pleased..

Brian Deane vs us , was what spurs fans must remember of Ricard torturing Sol Campbell

Tommy Johnson at warnocks Notts co always seemed to torture us. Ian ormondroyd at Bradford then villa

He also tortured us for Villa the Riverside (TJ).

 

[red_clowne]

Ryan Giggs (shudder) frightened the life out of me whenever he collected the ball and ran at our defence.

 

[Jonny_Rondos_Disco_pants]

Nathan Blake & Luke Moore

 

[Andybarca]

I’m surprised that he hasn’t got a mention so far but Robbie Fowler scored an awful lot of goals against us in a short period

 

[JaenBoro]

The whole of Grimsby Town in the early 80s!

 

[SmogonOuseburn]

Troy Deeney

 

[Glover_elbow]

Troy Deeney

He was dreadful last time here but times before he always seemed to do well

 

[BiggEggo]

David Fairclough, even though he normally only got 10 mins off the bench.

 

[Redagain]

Darren Anderton

 

[Billywoofslovechild]

Noel brotherton. Really wet day kelham ohanlon had a nightmare of a game and their winger tortured us. Think it ended 4-1

Alas, it was 5-1. I remember it only too well. I missed the Boro goal too as my dad couldn't take it any more at 5 nil down, and he wasn't even a boro fan!

Alan mcnally and the Wallace brothers any of em...
