John O'Mara came to us in the early '70's with a big reputation from Brentford (if thats possible). He was a striker (?) & started slowly & went backwards from there. I've heard abuse at Ewood over the years & indeed lobbed a little to Jason Roberts myself but I've never seen /heard anything like the stuff O'Mara took.
He was poor though.
Wilcox took some fearful stuff early in his career but it soon fell away when Dalglish backed him.

the stick was mainly during the div 2 days, his prem form shut them up..Quote:

Correct.
Same with Atkins plus a change of position.
I'm hopeful that the same could happen with Lowe if he's moved from midfield.

Wilcox always got 100% backing from me .
darren peacock had the misfortune of following big col hendry too. never had a chance..
i believe atkins fcked up against liverpool in the fa cup, and took a long time to be forgiven for it..
