Scott Arfield = Hero

Quite the career he's had since being released by Huddersfield Town.

Remind me, where did he put the ball again?

Got to be up there with Tom Heaton for best free transfers the club has made this century.

I will always have a place in my heart for Scotty

The three free signings that summer of Heaton, Arfield and Jones were unbelievable business.

Yep, me too. Added to by the goals he would score when my lad first started going on.
Not bad for a Huddersfield reject haha

I bloody love the Blackburn fan who accidentally celebrates after coming back up from the concourse, then realises and gives the finger

We watched that goal in a sports bat in Prague
The locals thought we were mental when we started celebrating the score

Top Top player for us and that goal at Ewood was amazing as was Michael Duffs Run to celebrate with him .
One of many favourite memories in my 60 years following the Clarets

cockneyclaret · Post by **cockneyclaret** » Tue May 23, 2023 2:28 pm

It's the Duff and Arfield celebration that's so iconic.

We'll never know of course, but possibly left a season too early?

That goal against qpr at home in the prem was a thing of beauty too. What a tidy player. One of Dyches master strokes was signing this lad.

claretblue · Post by **claretblue** » Tue May 23, 2023 3:14 pm

Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor, Alfredo Morelos, Scott Arfield and Filip Helander will all leave Rangers when their contracts expire this summer

Scotty was a great influence in our success.
…and the reason for his number being 37 is a significant reason he’s so well admired!
Thank you Mr Arfield!

Brilliant signings. Did they all end up leaving on free transfers too?

matttheclaret · Post by **matttheclaret** » Tue May 23, 2023 3:32 pm

Heaton was sold to Villa for about £8million wasn't he? Jones went to Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee

Spike · Post by **Spike** » Tue May 23, 2023 3:36 pm

Didn’t Jones go for around £2m
Both us and Rangers got bargains with Scotty

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue May 23, 2023 3:39 pm

That goal & his charge up the pitch after are written in Clarets Folklore.

Had a wonderful career too.

IPAclaret · Post by **IPAclaret** » Tue May 23, 2023 3:41 pm

That goal and then the run down the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the darwen end is a thing of beauty as the gormless mouth-frothers look on.

Just wonderful stuff.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue May 23, 2023 7:24 pm

Effervescent Arfield!

Tge most jubilant character. Must be great in the dressing room.

Achieved a champions medal and champions league.

Came on late for a game, this season and equalied then scored the winner,via added time.

Good luck for your next club, Scott.

“Two nutmegs and a bender” was how Gary Lineker described it on MOTD !! Love Scott Arfield …. An incredible free transfer signing who contributed so much for us. Had some real quality plus great attitude and with a touch more pace would have been a top player I think.

boyyanno · Post by **boyyanno** » Tue May 23, 2023 9:27 pm

One of my favourite players in recent times. He had more technical quality than a lot gave him credit for and he was an absolute worker. He also seemed to have a knack for scoring important goals.

I don't think anyone could have predicted how well those 3 players would do for us, phenomenal business.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Tue May 23, 2023 9:45 pm

Can't believe it's very nearly 10 years since we signed him.

Also, it's the only name I think of with that song, although we try to shoehorn others into it. Always going to be 'Super Scotty Arfield'.

Bit like 'Jimmy Mullen' is the only rightful owner of the 'Claret and Blue army'.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Wed May 24, 2023 8:10 am

Loved his goal and celebration when he score the late winner against Everton in 2016. Great technical skill and a riotous and exuberant celebration in front of the Longside.

One of my favourite Arfield moments too, last minute winner, no wild thrashing at the ball after it comes too him after hitting the bar either.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed May 24, 2023 8:47 am

Absolutely loved him

One of those players who was far too good for the championship, but just a bit short for the premier league

Not really. He did the job he was asked to do in the Premier League. Ok he was never going to be a stand out player at that level but that applies to a lot of Premier League players. He never let us down and technically was a fantastic footballer.

AlargeClaret · Post by **AlargeClaret** » Wed May 24, 2023 9:37 am

He was always good for us , an absolute 100% Dyche player who ran himself ragged week in week out .He was good technically and great to see someone absolutely maximise their talent level by stepping up to the prem through sheer hard work. and great yrs for Rangers too playing in Europe etc
He used to train extra in Rochdale, early eve twice a week( privately )with a Muay Thai coach on his conditioning . He says Scotty was totally committed and sweated like a dog !

Not denigrating what he did for us, but he was a little bit short for that level

Super player to do a job for us though I agree

All opinions but individually you could say the same about a lot of our team! And a lot of players in other teams. Teams always need certain players to do a job. I find this categorisation of players by reference to a league a bit misleading. He's championship standard, L1 etc. It's all about how a player fits in a team. And he slotted in to ours very well so I don't think it's fair to say he wasn't Premier League standard. He was! He played a lot of games at that level and didn't let us down.

Oh, I wanted him to stay!

Just that if you are pushing on, then he was one of those who would inevitably end up being a squad player (which is what every team needs) who could do a job if required

Scotty was a top guy, I remember going up to Rangers pre season friendly and we picked is dad and brother up on the way with boundary CLARETS and we had a real laugh with them and a great day.
