Bobby Ford. Or Davy Gysbrechts.

Can't make my mind up on that one. Oh, hang on.

What about Phil Starbuck?

So many to choose from

Flares I hear? Gas masks everyone and call 999 immediately

 

[HermitageBlade]

Tongey had a trick or two or maybe Ndlovu. I’m struggling.

Current players wise, Leon Clarke flaired his way through more people than Brooks last season I reckon, he's just the opposite of "looks like it's doing 60 even when it's stood still", he can absolutely embarrass someone and it looks like he's not moved.

Baldock is pretty nifty too.

 

[Rodley]

“...he drops the shoulder and ghosts past Denilson like he isn’t there...”

 

[nopigfansintown]

Jimmy Hagan. Ok, I didn't see him, but someone had to say it.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Not Brooks.

Move on !!

Flair - Difficult to define.

TC. Anyone who can take the piss out of England's Alan Ball by sitting on the ball during the game and inviting him to take it is simply out of the league of what I have seen before and since. That's flair. The one I really feel sorry for and who didn't stay too long was Alex Sabella. I just felt for him. He was light years ahead of his team mates in thought and movement. Maybe it wasn't flair in Argentina, but it sure was in S2. A shimmy past one player, a one two between my own feet and a 50 yard delivery to a winger.

Closer to the era of most of the contributors on here, nope, I can think of many good players I enjoyed watching and had a full skill set but flair? Brooks, may have made it but equally he could have been smashed every week.

Nick Montgomery

 

[Ricky]

Could've been Brooks but it's important to remember that we don't deserve to watch players like that.

 

[Grappler]

Well, at my age, I would have to say TC, and I know that is the obvious answer.

Brooks was really warming up for it, remember his fantastic "stop on a sixpence" move, when he perfectly chipped the ball to Lee Evans?

Apart from the obvious because of my name I’d have to go for


Dean Hammond

Carded for unreasonable Pinchy Provocation!

Well that’s really cheered me up, thanks

(I couldn’t find a montage of his greatest moments for United, because he had no great moments for United)

 

[LenTednTony]

Jimmy Hagan, TC, Woody, Alex Sabella, Glyn Hodges, Vas Borbokis and (dons tin hat), Don Hutchinson. Seen em all and the best is TC by a country mile!

 

[Jon Slinn]

Sabella, Peschisolido, TC ( God ) Plus Woody - Paul Wood (1990). Speed. Hendrie. To name but a few. all on people opinions. Colin Morris. Kevin McDonald, Lee Morris, Paul Shaw(??) .
Few more to get people talking.
