Hey guys i thought i'd start a new thread so we can some more arguements

My pick would have to be for Gianfranco Zola, Anyone in any doubt just watch this goal - the man is, and always will be a legend in my eyes. YouTube - Soccer - Zola goal - Chelsea V Norwich City 4-0

Juninho

Yep Zola for me too

Funkii Munkii

Unless you are aged 120 + no need to apply as you have no way of backing it up

In my lifetime too many to mention, but I would have to say Best, never saw him play but have enough VHS and DVD footage, although Duncan Edwards will come very close for fans older than me.

Suppose it would be Robbo, Hughes, Cantona or Giggs for me.

I'm going to have to say Giggs though as in his prime he was immense.

Solskjaer is definatley up there for the way he could come on and get a goal (or 4!!) Van Nistelrooy deserves a mention for his goal scoring but hes not up there with the above for me.

His hatrick against leicester in 97 was rather special as well.

Zola.. so overrated. Never made it at a big club or did much for his national team. Flair player loved by fans from an average team. No shame in that though.

As for United... Never saw him play but Charlton. Uniteds best and Englands best.

being a villa fan there is so much vaste choice it's impossible to pick any 1 player

fatherpierre

Billy Bremner for my team.

Bergkamp is the best player to have graced the Prem.

Bruce Rioch did something right.

pauld37

Not as overated as your best ever player, as voted for by the fans, ****ona, couldn't even get in his national side

DJ Dunk

If I had to pick one, it would be King Kenny Dalglish

davegtt

Wasnt that down to grudges/arguments with those running the shop?

Oldhams best player? Dunno really, too many to mention, Jimmy Frizzel before my lifetime.

Had a few greats play for us which would suprise you all but a leg end would have to be either Ricky Holden, Andy Ritchie, Frankie Bunn (holds the record for most goals in a single game in the League Cup and I was there ) Ian Marshall (just for the mullet) Roger Palmer, Earl the Pearl Barrett, Richard Jobson. Ohhh I dont know.

Andy Ritchie if I have to pick one, greatest ever England striker never to play for England

Barrie Thomas, or Billy Sharp, for the sheer class of their goals.

Bill Punton as a left winger, and Peter Beagrie as a right winger.

Matt Elliot in central defence.

Ray Clemence in goal.

Sadly, all sold on, except for the two wingers we had in their declining years.

I remember that night, coming out of Old Traff after we'd been spanked 3-0 by Spurs in a Littlewoods cup game, 1st thing I heard on the car radio, Calderwood broke his leg for Spurs that night, I remember the crack !

Just incase anyone wants to see how football should be played and how teams got picked apart at the great Boundary Park

YouTube - Frankie Bunn

Was that artificial turf ?

Cant believe that's nearly 19 years ago!

davegtt

Yeah plastic pitch, only us Luton and QPR IRRC had that back then. Its why everyone hated coming to Latics. Theres a picture somewhere of Neville Southall when he played at BP (in the days of 2 replys in the League Cup) after 2 games at BP his knees were cut to shreds and had sand in them felt sorry for the guy, especially as they lost too

In recent times it would have to be Henrik Larsson with a staggering 242 goals for Celtic in 315 matches, won 4 titles in 7 years and went on to win 2 titles and the Champions League with Barca.

However this is nothing compared to the record of James McGrory who played in the 20's and scored 410 goals in 408 league games for Celtic with stats of 550 goals in 547 games in all competitions.

He did manage 7 goals in his only 7 games for Scotland. Quite good really considering Celtic players did not get picked for Scotland during the time.

He was also the manager when we beat Rangers 7-1 in the Scottish Cup final

Ted Maul

so true. god bless Rioch for that one, turned the **** around. Without getting into the whole 'what does best' mean, I'd say top 5 in no order of brady, henry, bergkamp, adams and wrightwrightwright

oh and perry groves

same 5 as me Ted. would include Adams to for his leadership and ability to drop players on their heads after games. Bless steve morrow

as for bergkamp. genius

OVERRATED!!! This idiot must've been born yesterday

As a Chelsea fan, I would agree Bergkamp was ONE of the best players in the prem - his technical ability, positioning and the fact that he was a joy to watch were his best qualities - ok he wasn't as much of a goalscorer as Henry but his contribution to the team and the fact that he was never a big-headed tw@t or got into any trouble off the pitch. (e.g. playing with hookers or rape allegations) The only downside to the chap was that he didn't like flying so he wasn't much use in the C/L when Arsenal had to play teams who were hundreds of miles away.
