The McGorry Derby & Peterborough’s Triumph
I’ve unearthed this classic photo, acting as a reminder that not only did Peterborough win the award for worst away kit in the 90’s but also shafted us by allowing us to sign Brian McGorry on a 2 year deal back in the day. Still, 1.74 and all that …

Brian didn’t pull up any trees for us, did he?
’What’s the story, Brian McGorry’ sung to the old Oasis number would’ve been a decent chant though.
You don’t get footballers called Brian anymore.
Very true! He certainly never lived up to his namesakes Laudrup and Roy
You do, they're just BrYans and Costa Rican (Oviedo) or Spanish (Gil) 😂
Or my ex-Arsenal pal Marwood.
Don’t have nightmares
I think that name died with Cloughy.
Think for Cockneys it died out with Brian Cant (look it up if you’re under 40)
Gary and Nigel are dying out too
In fact, England's Euro 2020 squad was the first since the 1970 World Cup not to feature a Gary or Garry.
Brian Graham is the top scorer in the Scottish Championship with 17 goals.
That is a genuinely top stat!
I need to go back and check the names. There's Birtles, Lineker, Stevens, Neville, Cahill, Barry definitely.
Gary Barry?
Yeah...
No, but the stat is still right.
GarETH Barry is one of 13 players to go to a major tournament with England as a teenager, though. Name the other 12.
Gary Southgate will have to look out for the next Gary.
Any actual footballers with rhyming names?
Sven taking Walcott to the 2016 world cup at 17 has to be the daftest one.
Left Defoe and Bent out who'd had good seasons.
Understandable if it got a wonderkid in and amongst it for future tournaments, but not only did he not get a minute of action, despite Rooney's red, and Owen's injury, but he never actually played in a world cup, and at most was a bit parter in one other Euro?
Yeah, he didn't make his major tourney debut until Euro 2012 (didn't qualify for Euro 2008 then Capello left him out of the 2010 WC)
Joe Low.
Damn
No one seems to have mentioned Captain Marvel Brian Robson.
Brian McBride a relatively modern one
The first Premier League goal was scored by a Brian.
Owen, Rooney, Sterling, Saka, Bellingham
All correct
Dele Alli - and he might have gone to a major tournament as a teenager too?
He did not
