Thornton v Chelsea 02/03

[iliStrikeRili]

Could have been world class had he not binged on Greggs pasties and Guinness.

Perfect example of why football and drink dont mix.

[09JLambert]

Still good enough to play in the Championship. Shame no one is willing to give him a chance. Like Gary Roberts once of Port Vale, he has amazing techincal ability but a poor attitude. Save him Holloway.

[colindlynch]

What a waste the lad had it all. Brilliant on his day two great feet etc etc ...what a pity he never got his head down and kept on the right track he could have been a fantastic player :-(

[CockMyRasbah]

[mrlisc2]

[mickyjstubbs]

@mrlisc2 he's about to sign for metalist in Ukraine, a champions league team. I hope they sell Guinness there.

[mrlisc2]

[bobdoll67]

wata goal,wish he made more of himself :(

[JimiB1984]

He's a good player Thornton, but i don't think he was Premiership class at the time. He had the abilty to go on be a decent footballer but his fitness was atrocious at Sunderland, but you can't take anything away from his dead ball skills he was a great free kick taker, pity about the shit rapping haha

FTM

[trfc4everih8kopites]

Bellend. Judas!

[mashmiles20]

RTID

[steadbomb]

im a sunderland fan and if leadbitter or waghorn went to a really big club i would be happy for them

[Knightoftheorient]

Whoever said Thornton isn't good enuf for Premiership you are an ignorant twat! Sean clearly has all the natural ability of a premiership footballer, unfortunately he dosn't have the right attitude and proffesionalism to be a Premiership player cause his lifestyle isn't healthy enuf, but he is a quality player!

[StevenFTM]

mate, hes shit :)

[francoperez1]

what a cracker of a goal from a player that had a lot of potential,still young enuff to make more impacts, good luck sean.

[KeegansFAT]

why do clubs get angry when their youth player move to a considerably better club

if leadbitter moves to man utd probably would i would say good look.

[theshamen80]

Thornton isn't Premier League class.

He's a fat waster.

[Bliz275]

Another one of Tranmeres youth products who shitted on the club fcukin wasteman, deserves the shit career e's gettin!

[rodders0223]

What a waste.

[KizaSafc]

He was brilliant at crossing and his freekicks but is shite at everything else.

[2666IBBY]

Sean Thornton should be playing in the premi league by miles good player but left sunderland because he fall out and he had beer problem.

[martinht]

poor attitude plenty skill,sunderland have had heaps of this ilk of player,now we have keano n quinn its looking a whole lot different.

[mddsafc247]

thornton had a lethal free kick anyone remember that game when he scored 2 free kicks a remember being there but cant rememebr who it was against , actually it could have been a dream

[lloydysafc999]

Plymouth? I think he got a hat trick didn't he? Might be wrong like

[BackFromNowere]

rotherham i think m8 won 5 1 in the 03/04 season im not sure tho

[markopolosweenez]

Thornton certainly has/had the ability to make it in the Prem but didn't have the determination he thought he made it and went to pot.

[WKDJamie]

Thornton Is a BackStabbing Cunt TRFC White Side Of The Mersey

[boeershna]

Cole scored a cracker in that gaem too! and its CARLTON, now THAT is something you don`t see every day.

[Arca12345]

we lost 2-1, we out played chelsea the entire first half, we wer singin 1-0 to the nationwide as we wer at the bottom with 19 points at the time, but a zola inspired chelsea then scored 2 in the second half through carlton cole and gianfranco zola...

[goalio100]

what was the score that day?

wb

[mnchster67]

Looked a bit like Phillips in 99 :o

[ANDYSAFC85]

Such a shame he never had the dtermination to make it as a top player because with his ability he easily could have been.

[bov1984]

Thornton is a class player, he's a bit slow but his free kicks and shooting is spot on!

[unkn0wngenius1985]

I hate this bastard, the way he plays he thinks he's so good.

[BreadManMatt]

thats because he is so good :P (O's supporter here) fucking brilliant freekick gainst southend 2day. on debut as well.

[unkn0wngenius1985]

If he's so good, then why isn't he even in the EPL?

[DeathToTheFreaks]

He's a wanker.

[OrientInLeagueOne]

He's now an O :D:D

[BarkersEggs81]

Brilliant goal from a crap season.
