Well we are bidding for the new Henry, were linked with the new Pele and are also lining up the new Messi, so surely there must be a new Cruyff out there somewhere! What a load of cobblers these journalists write!
To be fair, I have seen a guy in a West Ham shirt doing a passable impression of that wonderful Cruyff feint, turning an opponent in a sublime flash of brilliance. Who was that man? Carlos Tevez? Nope. Trevor Brooking? Nope. Yossi? He came close a couple of times but not close enough.
Any idea who I'm thinking of?

Dani?
Hugo Porfirio?
Di Canio?
Mido? :p
Repka?

John Moncur
LOL No, no, no, no, no, no. Love the idea of Mido trying that turn!
Teddy sheringham
Diamanti
Come on! It's our own Scotty Parker.
Problem is he always ends up facing his own goal!
John V P
Samassi Abou?
Paulo Alves?
Trevor Sinclair
It's probably someone silly like Spector.
Were we born then HF or was it during your younger days?
All wrong so far. John Motson called it once, "Ha ha, that was straight out of Cruyff's book!"
If Spector did it, he would leave himself floundering!
Steve potts or ian dowie
And he didn't just do it that once! I saw it live and on TV a couple of times. He also did it once on TV in the shirt of a rival team.
Come on guys, you are not going to get sillier than Spector or Mido so try to come up with a possible contender!
Give us a clue. What nationality is he?
I'll give you some clues later.
Boogers?
I got it!!!
Lumpalard!!!
That caravan was going south down the A12 one minute then, wham heading North just like that!
No, not Frank. Apparently Cruyff learnt how to do it from Frank Senior however!
'Arry allegedly had his own version though. A transfer fee was paid above the table whilst a brown envelope came back underneath!
Van der elst
Good call 1919 but no.
Defoe?
Who was the guy in the caravan? Boogers??
The Defoe feint? "That's him, that's Jesus! No it's not! Yes it is!"
No, not Judas.
Paulo futre
Yes, Boogers in the Baracan!
Jeroen Boere
No, not Futre.
Julian dicks
Sounds like a Pistols anthem! No Futre, No Futre, No Futre for meeeeeeeee!"
LOL Dicks! No, mind you opposing wingers found their knee caps facing in the wrong direction after a Dicks challenge!
Stuart slater
Stuart Slater! No! But to quote Mr Dury, "What a waste!"
Carrick
Etherington
Zamora
mike small
First clue. He played more than 200 games for West Ham.
Zola came the closest to a Brooking feint, looking as if he was going to turn but allowing the ball to run ahead of him. But no.
joe cole
Mcavennie
Etherington tried it at the bookies, it's called betting each way. But no, not on the pitch!
carrick
Nope, not Frank. Not Cottee either!
No, not Carrick, in case he is suggested a third time!
bishop or morley
Lomas
Eyal berkovic
LOL, but the wife wasn't fooled! No.
Only when Hartson's foot connected with Eyal's head!
devomshire or paris
Lomas Stani? Be serious mate!
Amazing that it took so long for somebody to suggest Devo! But no. Nor George!
what decade
Somebody else must have seen him do it! There were more than 20,000 in the ground when I saw it live. How many would have seen it on MOTD?
The attendance is a clue by the way!
He's got more than 200
Keen
tony gale
Reo coker
Spoil sport Stani! Yep Kevin Keen!
tim breacker
He did it in a Wolves shirt too!
Spoil sport? I took my time!
Ok, prize?
what about stoke
No idea, but I saw him do it in a Wolves shirt.
Prize Stani? A night with Mr Dale.
Now how did I know you'd say that?! :)
....although that would be more like a prize for him rather than me!
steve potts scored 1 goal 4 west ham. but who was it against and what was the score. and to make it a bit harder who scored west hams goals in the match. should easily get this.
October 6th 1990
West ham 7 - 1 Hull City
Dicks 2, Quinn 2,
Morley
Parris
POTTS
yep your right shaunsaid. top man.
I was there when Pottsy scored and the bookies still never gave him more than 25-1 to score
But they offered 33-1 on Mido even as he lined up that penalty!
I saw Rio do it at UP - in the opponent's penalty area. He followed it up with a crap cross/pass unfortunately. I can't remember who we were playing.
...that is true! I remember it because he looked very ungainly.
I kind of remember that too. Actually Cruyff followed the turn pictured above with a cross that was hit too deep!
