Willie Hunter Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Elijah is the closest I have seen to Willie Hunter of Ancell Babes fame effortlessly drifting past lead footed opponents and scoring some sensational goals. Pity Willie is no longer around to see if he agreed with the comparison. I'm sure he would have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an elegant and dangerous player he was. He died fairly recently so it's a pity he didn't live to see Eli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to seen him compare him to Just 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted yesterday at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:56 PM For me, too young to have seen Willie Hunter, the comparison I have to make is Bobby Russell. Both look like a strong breeze would knock them over, have an excellent touch and can glide past people like they're not there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably a bit older than you and was going to do a comparison with Vic Davidson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity Willie is no longer around to see if he agreed with the comparison. I'm sure he would have. Exactly the words, re Willie, I said to him at POTY event. I’m sure he was wondering “What was that old ghit havering on about?” as my son led me away. But he was polite enough to nod kindly and, as if, understandingly when I was rambling on about Willie and the Ancell Babes. Maybe he was being sympathetic in case I was a dementia victim. Later on, bored Jens with same reminiscences. And he was similarly polite and appreciative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to see all three play and Willie Hunter comes out tops for his ability and length of service. But I agree Ally, Just reminds me very much of Vic Davidson too. Three very talented individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his dressing room speech post-Hibs, Jens clearly understood the significance of those reminiscences and comparisons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jym Bob Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Agreed. I thanked Jens for reviving my memories of the football that the great Ancell Babes played. Great to see Just performing on the world stage. Unfortunately Willie Hunter never got the opportunity to show his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
