Sad news. Him and pettigrew are the best partnership I’ve ever seen. Pettigrew of course scored the goals but Bobby had the skill to set up the chances but I think his greatest attribute was not setting up the chances but his ability to control a ball that came to him at any angle speed or height. His touch and ability to bring a ball under control was outstanding.
RIP Bobby
Bobby Graham and Wullie Pettigrew were the first strikers I remember from when I started watching Motherwell. So I grew up thinking the way they played was normal, and all the strikers I would see at Fir Park would the the same.
If only I knew...
One of our all time greats (IMHO), those of us of a certain vintage got to witness something special when he and Pettigrew were terrorising defences.
RIP Bobby.
What a load of bullshit.
The guys a good player and no where near out of his depth ffs he was capped for Australia last year and then spent most of the season out injured.
Very sad news and condolences to his family and friends. An amazing player, who struck up a telepathic understanding with Willie Pettigrew. I believe that came about by chance. I seem to recall he was a quiet, under the radar, type of player with his prolific sidekick receiving more publicity. Bobby had the knack of having great foresight and positional awareness and brought out the best in others.
RIP Bobby.
Ward has made a couple of big errors but he's also made more than one decent save to keep us in matches - notably two at Tynecastle. I think it's pretty clear some people want Ox back and that's fair enough but Ward hasn't been all bad - just that when you make a big error - it's more noticeable
Every keeper lets in goals. Kelly had a really dismal spell for us at one point - pretty prolonged if I recall and some people were saying Ox should go in goals then - I think we should give Ward a break tbh - and personally I trust JBA to make the right decision
