    Thought this was an intesting and well put together article that plays on our nostalgia. Were you a hatcher. Personally I wasnt but had at times a grudging respect for the cynicism involved.

    Scum of the highest order :pac:

    The only thing to counter a hatcher was a hatchet

    Was a massive hatcher in both GAA and football and modelled myself on Pippo. Would just walk around for a while making myself out to be no threat and then pounce during opportune moments

    The trick to that was talking to the keeper while leaning on the post. All the glory and a friend for life

    Every world cup doubles team needed one guy who was skillfull and willing to run alot and one hatcher to be perfectly balanced. I was very much in the hatcher mould :pac:

    Yup, I was a hatcher.

    We had a box where you could not shoot inside, I stayed on the line :pac:

    Also used to love scoring goals, when it was deflected off me :D

    As a centre half I hated hatchers as a kid. You would think they were in your back pocket all game then......Pow! Right in the kisser. Bastards.

    I do love Pippo though.

    I was a hatcher, and a good one at that, we had a lunch-time 5-a side league in 6th class. Our team came last, but I still scored 6 goals in 6 games, including a hat-trick.:D
    Our team only scored 7 goals altogether.:)

    Linekar was the ultimate hatcher.

    In college we had an unreal hatcher upfront for us, only touched the ball when he was putting it in the back of the net and then celebrated his goals witha double somersault. Loved having him on the team.

    I was a wierd one, despite being a defender (i usually played right back) i was also a "hatcher" or poacher as we knew it.

    I was the one who was always told to get on the keeper by managers, pulling the hairs on the back of his legs was a favourite of mine. Or holding on to his shorts at the bottom...90% of the time it stopped him from jumping!

    I hated and loved it at the same time.

    Seeing as how one fifth of the team was standing there doing nothing, maybe that's why you lost :)

    "Goal hanger" was the term we used to use for this.

    Never heard of goal hanger and agree about Lineker being a fantastic hatcher by previous poster. A lost art :D

    Haven't hear that term in years. Did my fair share of hatching when playing outfield, sure all that running around can't be good for you.

    No he was not. He was a striker who rarely scored from outside the box but he was not a hatcher (or 'Abstauber' in his language).

    For me he is the most unbelievable and best ever striker.

    Did you know when he played junior football he scored at the age of 16 just under 200 goals in one season?
