Far too soon to really judge Olosunde Ogbene but the promise is there and very reminiscent of Forrest /Towner! I do love the way Ogbene is happy to cut inside onto his left and the anticipation of Olosunde and his reading of the game is excellent for one so young!! Going back in time you'd have a job on looking for a more classy pairing than Harold Wil****son and Barry Lyons!
Agree about Wil****son & Lyons. Lyons was my Lamy back in the day. He scored goals as well. Hard to split him & Towner. Olosunde & Ogbene to mentioned along side them which they deserve must be doing something right.
Forrest/Towner for me, Gerry Forrest was the finest footballer I've seen in a Millers shirt in my 48 years of following this club, IMO he should have played for England.
Brad we agree on something. Gerry Forrest was an exceptional Right back. He stopped with us bout 8 years. Today been lucky if we kept him for a season. It was a privilege to see him in a Rotherham United shirt for so long.

Gerry Forrest was a wonderful footballer - the best player I ever saw in a Rotherham shirt. He used to make opposition wingers look stupid. Realistically I dont think Olosunde is anywhere near that standard yet but he is coming along very nicely and is improving rapidly. The same applies to Ogbene. They are examples of exactly what we need to do - find players with ability who need a break, give them a chance and work with them to make them better. It's great to see.
