Best player from our doldrums years (1980 to roughly 2009)

[J.G.Blue.]

Paul walsh was a great little player but I think it would have to be Trevor Francis closely followed by Kinky & Bernarbia.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Paul Power. The tash alone would outplay today's shower of flakes..

Our maybe dickov. True blue

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Maurizio Gaudino

Francis
Anelka
Kinkladze

Bernarbia

 

[Deedee2]

Francis
Lake
Distin
Anelka

Were the cream of some decent players.i think all four would have a shout of being in the current squad. A Francis -Erling -Anelka front line would score goals for fun in this team.

Late shout out to Mark Ward who I thought was a decent footballer.

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

Kinky. Truly believe he was on Messi levels. God knows why he wasted his time with us

 

[shemnel]

Anelka or swp. Berkovic was very handy.

Possibly going to get pelters but I thought Kinky was generally ineffective, with moments of genius.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Anelka

 

[RobinHood]

David White.

 

[deano ou812]

Kinkladze..

U started it Lee Bradbury and Ged Brannan.

 

[Cumbie Blue]

Mike Sheron: the go to midfield pick when playing the old paper based FPL games in the office with the old man and his colleagues. Wish he'd stayed longer, that first EPL season 92/93!
Peter Beagrie: I've got rose tinted specs from when a kid but lets face it that's for the celebration.
Vedran Corluka: always struck me as one who could have gone onto a lot more at club level, the way he moved he seemed to glide sometimes.

I see your lee badbuy and raise you a Jamie pollock

I see your lee badbuy and raise you a Jamie pollock

i can never unsee that own goal from my tout bought seat in the Gene Kelly stand

 

[Blue Feather]

White and Curle for the level they played, SWP, Super Kev and The Goat for the 2nd and 3rd tiers

 

[tony adcock]

Lot of good players already mentioned

A couple who I thought were decent

Colin Hendry
Ian Bishop
Paul Simpson

 

[willipp]

White and Curle for the level they played, SWP, Super Kev and The Goat for the 2nd and 3rd tiers

White and curle were absolute class. We beat Liverpool 2-1 I think first home game of the season under the lights and white scored of the underside of the bar and not long after got his England call up. It’s all a bit foggy, but I have fond memories of that side.
