Who is the best player ever to play at Bramall Lane in a competitive match?

 

[WhiteHawk]

Ronaldo? (the Portugese one)

 

[Jon P]

Ronaldo? (the Portugese one)

End of thread IMO.

 

[Drunk blade]

Axel smeets

 

[WhiteHawk]

Actually, thinking about it, it's a toss up between Nyron Nosworthy & Jordan Stewart......

 

[Slim Man]

If we're talking best player it's got to be Ronaldo

But the best performance from an individual I've seen at the lane in recent times is Eriksen for Spurs
Back in the Prem I seem to remember Ryan Giggs being outstanding, as was Michael Ballack

 

[Esablade]

That'll be me then

 

[1973Blade]

Cantana performed brilliantly at the Lane, including scoring one of his famous goals at the Kop end.

 

[LenTednTony]

George Best......close the thread.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

George Best

 

[Bartleby]

George Best

Yes I wouldn't give it to Ronaldo based on his performance, he missed one of the biggest sitters I've ever seen at the Lane. A great moment.

That was absolutely amazing

Bergkamp - Pure class.

Passerella - Majestic.

Currie - Genius.

 

[DifferentClass]

Dean Hammond!

ive never got the fuss over Portugese Ronaldo, he can beat a man well & good at set pieces but besides that he selfish, couldnt be any less of team player if he tried, isn't happy unless he is the only one in limelight & relying on quality of teammates to score his goals

I'm gutted that Henry was rested in 2006/07 season, as for me is was premier leagues greatest striker. but from what ive watched I would say between Scholes or Drogba

 

[vorpal blade]

George Best, Stanley Matthews, Dalglish, Bradman, Trueman, Trumper, Grace, C.B. Fry, Sobers yes and I had thoughts about River Plate, but it was a friendly.

Gordon Banks?

Thierry would be the very first to say how much he owed to the peerless Dennis Bergkamp. One of the greats.

laurens ten heuvel

thread closed

in all seriousness, in my lifetime would have to say cantona

but its probably george best

 

[nopigfansintown]

Apart from the above suggestions Scholes is worth a shout.

 

[stringer]

Don Bradman.

 

[Roygbiv]

Ronaldo was quite poor against us by his standards. Thought Scholes was the stand out from that game.

Best performance by an opposition player might have been Emile Heskey for Wigan

Still too soon.

If we're talking about best opposition player performances I'd have to throw in Kabba against us when he was on loan at Grimsby. I would've signed him up then & there on the strength of that display!

 

[vorpal blade]

I saw Arsenal rip us apart in the Cup -

Liam Brady was very good - MacDonald wasn't bad.

Paul Gascoigne ?

 

[Gimli]

Never seen someone so inspired, since when did Heskey become a dominating centre back ffs!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Cantona's peach of a chip over Kelly in the Cup was a great piece of quality from a quality player.

One of the best performances I've seen at the Lane was from Georgi Kinkladze, nearly 20 years ago. First time I'd seen him live, and he was terrifying every time he got the ball – jinking through players at will, always creating an opportunity. He ultimately teed up the equaliser in injury time.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Going back a bit Liam Brady , George Best , one of our Alex Sanella

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Fucking auto correct Alex Sabella , fucking I- pad

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

It'd be interesting to know which player has scored the most goals at Bramall Lane having never played for Sheffield United.

I'd second both of those. Gordon Strachan also was very impressive. And the young Roy Keane.
