Chris Young :

The DUFFER of all duffers.

[Ballers]

This ridiculous maligning of the peerless Tunna is a disgrace, frankly.

For the record, his Alty statistics read as follows:

33 League & Cup Appearances
5 goals (and every one was a gem).

In fairness did he not have a spell where he looked something remotely resembling a then conference striker. He didn't score for ages but scored a header against Dagenham I think. I'll wager those 5 goals came in about the last 12 games of the 92-93 season. Oh no his first goal was away at Kettering I think. His other goals were away at Wycombe (!) and a 30 yarder at Farnborough, can't remember the other.

Witton Albion at Moss Lane.
An exquisite chip at the Chequers end.

I think the overwhelming conclusion to Ian Tunnacliffe's Alty career is that is wasn't worth the hassle he, us and Emley ahd to go through for it.

Although who knows, maybe he was proud to have played for us.

On a seperate note. Steve Saunders + Goalscoring ability = Chris Senior?

[Dougals Dad]

Was Jamie Phoenix a striker? or just a waste of space?

Thats the one I remember!!

Darren Royle used to call him the Ark royal as he took so long to turn

[altyf]

nehru mckenzie personally.

He wasn't a striker.

Dis-Honourable mention for Kevin Hawkins - not strictly a striker but whenever a "worst player" threads start, hes always in my head !!!!

Sorry but based purely on his performance against Barrow in either the Cup or the Trophy when he kicked Kenny Lowe up in the air at what seemed like 15 second intervals for just over an hour Kevan Hawkins should be excused almost anything

FA Trophy Third Round tie at Moss Lane February, 1989.

Alty won 5-3.

Played in a howling gale.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

That's the one

[Beez]

Worst Alty striker, im torn between Darren Royle and Paul Williams. I forgot most things about royle other than his looping header from outside the box against witton in a cheshire cup semi final, probably the only goal he scored for us. abysmal. Paul Williams was equally as useless, i remember beating cheadle 6-0 in what must have been a cheshire cup match, he was even woeful in that!

I think that four of Tunna's five goals were:-

Bromsgove Rovers (A)....lost 4-1 on his debut the week after Port Vale beat us in the FA Cup
Kettering Town (A)........drew 1-1
Wycombe Wanderers (A)..won 2-0...the day Wycombe won the Conference & Martin O'Neill apologised to about 6,000 Wycombe fans on the pitch after the game.This goal was on both Sky News & BBC News.
Farnborough (A)........won 5-2 on the last game of the season

I'm struggling for the fifth one though & I'm a bit vague about the Farnborough one as well!!

[Alty365]

The fifth one was at home to Dagenham, a bullet header from about 3 yards out.

Brian,

Tunna didn't score on his debut at Bromsgrove.

His five goals were as follows: Dagenham (H) (as accurately described by Alty365); Kettering (A); Wycombe Wanderers (A); Witton Albion (H) and Farnborough (A) - all in the 1992/93 season.
