Hanson had a good couple of seasons, let's not deny him that. There's many footballers who peak and then drop through the leagues picking up good money on past performances. Nothing new.
He'll be back at Guiseley eventually but I bet he picks up another decent League 2/Conference contract before that.

For a couple of seasons in L2 with Wells it worked with Parky. I'd take that team right now with Big Jim ™ in it.
Johnny Mac, Darby, Meredith, McArdle, Davies, Doyle, Jones, Reid, Thompson, Hanson, Wells.
In a breath.

As soon as we got promoted he was out of his depth and it only went downhill from there. Wilder fucked right up paying good money for him and I'm convinced he bought on reputation rather than proper research.

Wilder won't be the last to do that.

Where the fuck did Wilder get the reputation angle from, reading Bantam Pete's Hanson appreciation love in on twitter?

His name got said a lot on the TV basically.

His name got said a lot on the TV basically. He also scored some headline goals. Name in lights obviously goes a long way in football. Seen it many times. Cadamarteri kept getting contacts. Andy Gray is another that we know well. Lee Hendrie. Could go on.

Even if you hardly ever score, if you score at the right time you're thought of as a goal scorer. Hanson had a knack of getting his rare goals at the right time.

I know he's pretty unanimously hated on here but I liked him. I thought he was a good L2 player and I'd agree that he was found out the level above. That said, I think it's fair to say his professionalism deserted around the same time so that might go hand in hand with his steep downturn in form. PP has to take some criticism for continuing to play him when he looked like the back end of a pantomime horse. Maybe if he'd been dropped it might have kicked him up the arse and out of the pub.

I know he's pretty unanimously hated on here but I liked him. I don't think he's hated, he's not respected for his footballing abilities and considered a poor player but I doubt anyone on here hates him. I hated watching him by the end but it certainly wasn't personal. I doubt you'll get any disagreement here. PP fucked Hanson up the arse. Playing him when he wasn't fit and doping him up to do it really fucked Hanson's fitness. Also picking him when he was shit week in, week out gave Wee Jim no incentive to improve. All of this was said at the time but it was drowned out by his fuckwitted devotees who wouldn't have a bad word said about their hero. It was a bizarre and bewildering chapter in watching City.

It was a bizarre time but PP was and is a dinosaur but you'd have to say a successful one. He insisted on playing a direct game to a big man and it works for him. Percentage football. Get the ball up the other end. If a flick on works out you might get a chance to score. If it doesn't, you've certainly got time to regroup and set up your 2 banks of 4 again. Safety first. Hanson was his dream player when fit. Worked all day for nothing.

Any big time Charlies either never got through the door or were shown it in short order. We're now crying out for a couple of the kind of solid characters that PP signed as a matter of course.

I said the exact same thing the other day, the players he brought in were all strong mentally it seemed, even Nahki whilst being a bit of a wannabe gangster worked himself into the ground.

I actually liked Hanson also, can’t say I didn’t go nuts at some of his other less-publicised goals - e.g the injury time one at Rotherham, his double at Wimbledon etc. What I didnt like was how he was idolised by many as the one lead the attack and to build a side around - when we hit L1 he should have been used as the cliched impact player to offer that sort of height and physicality when needed. Like when they brought on that big cunt yesterday, though the execution was dismal. PP had acquired a lot of stock to do what he wanted, but I didn’t like the idea of propping players like Hanson up on painkillers to the extent he did.

PP had acquired a lot of stock to do what he wanted, but I didn’t like the idea of propping players like Hanson up on painkillers to the extent he did. I agree with this and for me it comes down to there being no middle ground on Hanson. You were labelled as being in the hate camp or the love camp and weren’t allowed to voice the opinion of his lack of ability without being classed as a hater. In my opinion, I couldn’t question his work rate as he pretty much ran himself into the ground every game but it was the glorious chances that he squandered on a regular basis that made it crystal clear that he became a hindrance. Their striker yesterday missed a header from a yard and that finish was hansonesque...they score that, they get a point at least, let alone the swing and a miss at the very end that would have won it. The argument of him defending corners well is great if he is banging in 30 a season at the other end but when the goals aren’t there, the defending doesn’t make up for it...he’s a striker and his main responsibility is scoring goals.
