Kyle Naughton? i know he has only played half a season but we all know he is going to be a top end premiership player, best right back we have had for a long long time

Well you miserable lot what about the one and only John Gannon, he was the equivilant of Monty today, a lot of people used to get on his case. I also liked Graham Stuart.

SV's immense judgement is being doubted

 

[shorehamview]

Like I give a monkey's.

And did they not read the introduction? Evidently not......

 

[happyhippy]

Since when did Shaun Murphy play for us between 1991 and 1995 ?

Glyn 'that man's left foot is magic' Hodges played between 1990 and 1996, made 134 appearances, 37 as sub, and scored 22 goals. 'Ooh ah Bob Bookah' played 109 times (22 sub), scoring 14 goals.

Couldn't possibly narrow it down to fifty though. They're all heroes. Well, maybe not Lee Baxter. Or Len De Goey ...... or Michael Twiss, or ......

 

[shorehamview]

The stats have been added by the nice fellows at the Times sports desk, hence some of them being slightly inaccurate. The full article is earlier in this thread, split to fit.

 

[happyhippy]

Thought you'd done this before. I was just far too idle to go looking, mainly because my energies were diverted to the strenuous and deeply onerous task of 'going to the fridge for more beer'

 

[shorehamview]

I did it in February, but the Times thought lists about Man City and Liverpool were more important. What little do they know....

 

[Slugger]

From what's not been mentioned ... Curtis Woodhouse was quality for a while

 

[gregblade]

Reading through some of the names posted, many of which I hope are wind ups....Nathan Blake? Peter Ndlovu?

It actually strikes me that we probably haven't had 50 good players. I wouldn't have anyone from the last 10 years. Michael Brown....only really had 1 good season, 1 and a half at a push. I'd consider Jags perhaps.

Dont think anyones mentiond Alf Ringstead....over 100 goals for the club, something not done by too many people....

Woodward, TC, Hagan and Ringstead.

Sv is "confused"

#

http://www.bladesunited.org/msg/84954.html

Looks like the guy who wrote it confused 'greatest players' with 'legends'.

For example, Sir Bob at number 8, whilst I love the man as if I gave birth to him myself, isnt the 8th best player ever to play for the Mighty Blades

It's alright SV... it's a major talking point on there if someone has (gasp for effect) actually gone to a game!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

But then again SV is looking at this through rose-tinted spectacles...literally!

 

[Linz]

The chavs from elsewhere don't appreciate it either

 

[rustysufc]

What about Marcelo? 20+ goals in a season

 

[shorehamview]

I'm not really that bothered if nobody else likes the list. It's already been pointed out that it's subjective, which means that it's my top 50. We journos are used to criticism from the less well informed.

 

[Tyke]

glynn hodges, Quality!!
