Ted Bates Statue Posted 6 April, 2023 Share Posted 6 April, 2023 (edited) Late response to this thread but in light of the recent Mitrovic incident, finally someone has uploaded footage of Prutton's 2005 sending-off to youtube. Judging by the title and further comments, the uploader isn't much of a fan of him. Not sure it was that much worse than Mitrovic but it certainly provides a precedent. Reading the match reports from the time, you would have thought he shoved the official to the ground like Di Canio. He wasn't exactly chasing the ref around so much as practising his French with the linesman as he left the pitch.

Barsiem Posted 6 April, 2023 Share Posted 6 April, 2023 Sheesh I didn't realise how bad both challenges he made were... Either would be a straight red these days. Amazing he was only booked each time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, looking again at that footage it looks like he didn't actually clock that it was the ref he was shoving as he's looking straight past him at the lino. He probably subconsciously thought it was another player trying to hold him back? (Yes, probably too much benefit of the doubt on my part and not looking to excuse it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Saints supporters even ventured that he would captain England one day. But he flattered to deceive. Then there were rumours he was living with his mum (mummy's boy) and that he was slightly odd as a result. Nigel Quashie was another player we signed from the Championship that didn't pay off. In fact he had just been relegated (with can't be bothered to google which team it was). We were hoping he would be a leader - we made him captain if I remember correctly. But instead of being the signing of the season - as a pundit (Glenn Hoddle?) predicted - he turned out to be the flop of the season. His Mum lived in Hull. Bit of a commute!

Prutton I think didn't score until the last game of the season away at Charlton Scorers against Liverpool were Prutton and Crouch (Prutton assist). His best game for Saints.

Cracking transfer window and one that we can only dream of these days. I think Fuller was the only one we paid a fee for. Jesus, that's an ugly transfer window. Actually, Jesus, along with Hajto joined in the January window not that summer. KK didn't join until the following summer and cost about £400k.

He was playing for the Skates, in the Prem. Saggy brought him across, fueling the fire even more, and costing us about £3m. He was a crab. And he was crap. He went down with us, then down with West Brom the following season. He did play for us in the Championship in 05/06 for a bit, before joining WBA. I say `played', I recall seeing him standing on the halfway line with hands on hips, watching on and not giving two monkeys as QPR ran through our defence and scored, because he knew he was off. Good riddance. Fucking useless cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajto joined in the summer of 2005. It was the next January 2006 transfer window that his contract was cancelled with us and he joined Derby. Kosowski joined in the 2005 summer window on a season long loan, didn't cost £400k, wasn't a part of the play-off side, which came after the next summer. The next summer we signed Skacel, Pele, Davis, Idiakez, Viafara, Wright-Phillips, Makin, Licka and Sarmiento. Again, not wholly successful and quite a few duds.

Something must have got inside his head in that match. Yes, see John Boy Saint's comments on the first page. The individual decisions in themselves seem fine, but it's a question of what the ref chose to let go. I can only imagine Fulham felt similarly aggrieved to lose their heads recently.

I'm a very poor man's MLG. Hajtu and KK did sign in the summer of 2005. My mistake.

Badger Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 (edited) That ended a pretty shit week for Prutton and Saints. Although we all remember the sending off, Pruttons most significant contribution to our relegation that season was not taking a chance to score at West Brom earlier in the week. Ended0-0 as I recall. Critical result at the end of the season Edited 15 April, 2023 by Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 Prutton was considered a bit of a coup when we signed him (same day as Higginbottom I think) at the end of a January window. Unfortunately didn’t really fulfil the potential hoped for. Was pretty reckless at times throughout his career. Got sent sent off at an important stage of a play off SF whilst on loan at Forest. Having come on after 60 minutes he had two yellow cards to be off just as they were heading into Extra Time. Forest had been 2-0 up from the first leg and lost the second leg at home 5-2.

adrian lord Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 (edited) Remember watching the Prutton meltdown in the sun from the Northam, the game is etched on my brain, like so many others were significant disasters occurred. Interestingly, we never seem to have a dull match against Leeds. I remember the Ali Dia game like yesterday (again, it was glorious sunshine), and that horrific 3–4 loss after we went in at half-time, three nil up. …back to Prutton, when he was in full flight, he reminded me of Mick Channon, for some reason Edited 15 April, 2023 by adrian lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
