swami Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Loved Chris Humphrey. I’ve never seen a player take a roasting like he gave Danny Grainger against St Johnstone one night, he was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 sad to hear he's struggled on in pain, an honest player who benefited greatly from coaching and players around him, sound fella too On 10/12/2018 at 2:57 PM, Kmcalpin said: Sorry to see Chris retire from the game in such circumstances. He did well for us in his 4 years with the club, and its nice to read his comments about his time at Fir Park. He was the original wing back. All the best to him in his future career. Expand ? Was Tom Hateley not right behind him majority of games , I really dont recall Chris as a wingback ( and can only imagine I'd be hiding behind my hands if he was!)

Humphrey, 31, lost his unborn son during his four-year spell at Fir Park - a time in which he played 163 games. The 31-year-old last played for Barrow on loan from Bury in February, having had a brief spell at Hibernian in 2017. "I've been playing for the last year or so with a lot of pain and I can't play through that anymore," he said. "Massive thank you to all the Motherwell fans. Everyone at the football club was great and I will never forget that." Wishing him and his family all the very best.

However Humphrey played right back" on perhaps 3 or 4 occasions through necessity and looked the perfect "wingback" as we call them today. He could bomb up and down the wing all day long attacking or defending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwell Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Sorry to hear that Chris has had to retire, great player for us and a great out ball player. Our defence could punt it up the wing and be confident that he would try and chase it down taking the pressure off but also good enough to have it passed to him in attack and see him make defenders panic as they didn’t know how to handle him. All the best to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to him. Expand Always liked the guy as a player. Can remember specifically a game at Fir Park v Ross County where he slaughtered their left back, think we won 4-1 or something. And loved watching him every time we played Caley cause he tore Graeme Shinnie to pieces with his pace every single time. Poor Shinnie looked mentally shattered after every game against us.

sbcmfc Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I was surprised at the above stats of how few goals he scored. Was a great out ball and put the fear into other teams and although sometimes he’d be fairly anonymous, a team nullifying him often opened up the left wing for Jamie Murphy. Was never going to play into his late 30s as his main (would be a touch harsh to say only) attribute was his lightning pace. Frustrating at times, but a player that left with the best wishes of most fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Former players and current mess related. Craig Samson has officially retired as a player. Opting to move to Sunderland as a coach with immediate effect. Leaves St-Mirren with two unproven keepers , likley to go with 24 year old American Irishman Danny Rogers until January window from what I can see. Rogers has been an Aberdeen player for 6 years since turning pro, almost always out on loan, last two full seasons at Falkirk playing 64 games before loan was switched to Buddies their other keeper is 27 year old Dean Lyness whos been all over but rarely made first team appearnances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
