That is a really good barometer as to when times were really bad. Having said that, seeing the 'TinMan' weave his way through a Bradford defence (in a cup game ?) and score a pearler will always be in my memory along with the disbelief all around me who had ever seen him play previously.

It was indeed a cup game - the league cup or whatever it's called this week. One of the best goals ever scored at the Mad Stad by one of the least inspiring players to have worn the hoops. I remember when the ball came to him out on the wing near the halfway line I shouted "go on Scotty, show 'em your pace". He went past several Bradford Premier League players before slotting it past the keeper. That shut me up for once.

We met him in corporate last year. Came across well, practically admitted being a bit shite but said the one thing that did piss him off was when people questoned his commitment.

Bradford were in the PL at this point too, IIRC. Magic moment, remember my mate sat next to me shouting something similar and then going through exactly the same astonishment!

Keith Scott was one of very few players to be stung into activity by the pants day event, I think he scored and threw pants back into the east stand with a 'feck you' response if I recall correctly, so at least he had a pair! :wink:

He scored that day and picked up a pair and threw them back. But in an interview afterwards he explained that he threw the pants onto an advert for menswear. It was a placed throw to get onto a target rather than an angry one so I'm inclined to take that explanation. At the time I was sure it was in anger.

I'm damn sure his anger was genuine enough and his 'explanation' was in no small way to do with how the football authorities frown upon players throwing things into or in the direction of the crowd, personally I had more respect for him because he at least was pissed off at the pants day insult, which afterall was the whole point of the exercise!

I seem to remember him giving an interview where he said something along the lines that the Pants Day protest was an unwanted distraction for the players and actually put more pressure on them. However, he was one of the few players to really up his game that day in response.

Remember him scoring in the League Cup against Oldham or Bradford.

Fantastic solo goal.

Thing with Keith Scott, before he joined us, I always though of him as quite a dangerous forward, always seemed to score against us.

However, looking at his Wikipedia page, which I accept, isn't always accurate, he only reached 20 career goals for one club and that was over 2 separate spells. and he only reached double figures in a season twice.

It looks like he made his reputation on the back of a prolific half season at Wycombe.
