Memories when one man destroyed the Wanderers
I was talking to fellow Chairboys today, when the conversation came up of the 4-1 defeat at Stafford Rangers in the FA Cup in 1989 came up.
Man mountain Camden was a Yosser Hughes lookalike, and totally battered us at Marston Rd that day.
So maybe to breakdown the boredom of Lockdown, fellow Wanderers may want to recall games, when one player from the opposition totally dominated a game, whether it be a rampant striker, midfield general or keeper that kept them in the game
Any era !!

Anything involving Jordan Rhodes
Just seeing his name gives me a headache.
Very painful, days involving Jordan Rhodes.
Steve Norris one man route, for VS Rugby when they pumped us 5-1 in the FA Cup was another one.
Hate to say it but Kemar Roofe for Oxford a few years back in the 3-2 at our place. Looked Premier League class at least.
Jon Parkin without a doubt.
Utterly annihilated Johnson and Williamson in that infamous 5-4 game. Made them look like two blokes in from the crowd.
Scored two, and was simply unplayable. Like peak Akinfenwa, then some.
A truly mad game. I would have to bow to the stats boys on whether the below have happened on any other occasions in our football league days?
Quickest we've ever been 3-0 down at home in the football league? (13mins)
Only time we've come back from 3-0 down, and gone 4-3 up?
Only 9 goaler at home? (there was a 6-3 defeat at Peterboro)
Russell Martin's strike has to be in the top 3 at lowest, of Wycombe league strikes as well.
Jon Parkin for me but James Milner had a blinding 45 mins against us in the 8-3 League Cup game too.
Nicky Evans for Barnet for older fans maybe?
Milner was sensational for Villa that night. Whilst we are on wide men, i remember Michael Branch being pretty unplayable for 60 mins, when we beat Wolves 2-1 in the 2000/01 cup run.
As was Portuguese winger Jose Dominguez from Birmingham at St Andrew's in 94, Thank god Barry Fry took him off.
1987-88, Nicky Francis scored all of Enfield's goals in their 5-1 Conference win at Loakes Park. He was honoured with the Man of the Match award, normally reserved for a home player.
Martin Bullock was unplayable for Blackpool
Andy Gray (yes that one) for Cheltenham
Tony Hemmings for Northwich in the Drinkwise Cup final
Kevin Francis away at Stockport. Just too big and strong
Jason Koumas for Tranmere one Tuesday night
Micky Quinn away at Coventry (2nd leg was a different matter)
McGavin at Layer Rd (an absolutely horrific memory)
Glyn Creaser said Chris Camden was the best player he'd ever faced
Putting it the other way round (i.e. a WW player destroying the opposition), I thought John Akinde’s debut away at Brentford was pretty spectacular. He did have other good games for us but I don’t think he ever topped that, I recall BFC defenders just helplessly bouncing off him....
Jason Kavanagh always seemed to run the show for Stoke and Cardiff, when we played them
Graham?
Hemmings v Crewe or McSporran v Lincoln?
I think you mean Graham Kavanagh, rather than the John Gregory era Wycombe right back
Horrible player Graham Kavanagh
Just remembered Matt Jansen destroyed us for Carlisle
DeSouza v Bradford (home and away)
Sorry I meant Graham, Jason played for us at full back.
I remember Rowan Dodds destroying us when Slough beat us 4-1 at Loakes Park in the early 80's.
He was a very different prospect to the player that appeared in a Wanderrs shirt a few years later.
I think it was Leon Knight at AP for Huddersfield 1999/2000ish....looked incredible (although might be my memory playing up on both player and team)
Remember Jermaine Defoe when he was on loan at Bournemouth? Poor Jason Cousins that day, he didn't deserve that at the end of a long and distinguished career
I remember going into the Centre Spot bar after that match (I think it was called that at the time) and Parkin came in for a pint before getting on the team coach to go home.
Grant Holt scoring five of Shrewsbury's goals in the 0 - 7 JPT match at Adams Park.
Steve Hayes had a good go but thankfully the council were not obliging
Some good shouts. Dean Morgan & Craig Davies destroying us at Chesterfield's new ground was painful
Kevin Betsy up at Bury in the penultimate game of Waddock's promotion season
Nathan Tyson at Kenilworth Rd a coyote of seasons ago
Steven Taylor took the mick from centre half a couple of times
for us Tyson firt time round destroyed several teams
I must admit when I read the header I was expecting it to be about Aln Smth
This is a good shout. People still bring that up whenever his name is mentioned, as well as that Neapolitan tabloid splash.
