Gallagher

[Slater]

Even a Millwall fan on the train singled him out as a quality player.

Good morning Ben - your hair is looking nice today.

Why thank you very much Gally. I love your tracksuit.

Good one, Justin.....though I doubt Gally, or anyone else, would ever have told Pearson his hair looked nice!

Very true
But take it from me
When you have the opportunity to have good hair and look "fabulous darling" in a track suit then milk it for all you can
There may come a point in time when at my age there's more hair on a worn tennis ball and the track suit option is purely there for comfort due to the elasticated waistline!

LOL

[Bing]

Couldn't agree more with OP.

He was outrageous in the first half. Plays the game at his own pace and dictates everything we do.

I think he can play till he's 40.

 

[euxtonwhite]

Think he may just be looking forward to the plastics game methinks!

 

[PNEinPendle]

With Pearson, Potts and Browne in the team Gally has so much freedom to ping it around. Be interesting how he does in the next 2 matches with Ben out

 

[baldnobber]

He's been outstanding this year. However it worries me when Pearson is not alongside him.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The pass through to Maguire for his goal was unbelievable, he always raises his game against Rovers so I am looking forward to that game.

He just gets better with age. I’m so happy for him that and for the club that he’s been able to grow into the role of senior player, chief technician and all round good egg at North End.

He’s not a legend yet (that gets bandied around too much), but he’s definitely a club icon and who knows where his attitude will continue to take us.

Thank you, Paul!

What does he have to do to become a legend other than score the goal that takes us into the Prem? Don't think there's much more he can do here after his goalkeeper stint earlier in the season. Not sure he'd cut it as well as an emergency centre half lol

Has to retire here and do a couple of seasons on the coaching staff with us constantly knocking on and possibly winning the play offs.

I think legend is entirely subjective. I consider Gally a legend. I consider Garner and Beckford legends. Are they of the same calibre as Finney, Grezza, Shankly and Kelly? Probably not, but in 30 years time I'll remember the contributions Gallagher made, and that's the point of it all isn't it?

Honestly think he is playing his best football for us since he has been at the club, he was very good in our promotion season under Grayson but I think for the last couple of months especially with the injury crisis he has really stepped up to the plate.

Set pieces are delicious, rarely loses the ball, makes us tick and can unlock the opposition.

I think he easily has at least another 2 seasons in him after this one with us.

If he isn't made part of the backroom staff when he decides to hang his boots up, we riot.

Spot on, Ron,

IMO he’s one of the best players ever to don the PNE shirt.

Paul Gallagher WILL go down in legendary status, seems an all round top guy, has a love for the club and seems to want to see out his career here. If there is truth in the story that he insisted he came back to Preston when his last club sent him out on loan, says a lot for me. I found him totally frustrating first time around, but could see something in him. This time round he has been class, what a player. Legend for me.
