Who's the greatest ?

[johnnytapia]

It depends, and ultimately why I didn't consider them. But Elano & Michael Johnson on their day were sheer magic. But David & Yaya have had hundreds of those days for us.

Sheer magic? Do you still point at aeroplanes?

What a brilliant question. Winning isn't everything but how can you but a feeler gauge between Dickov/Sergio for Importance. or Bell/Silva/ for natural ability. Corrigan/Hart for keeping us in games....list goes on.

Vinnie..........Different side with him at the Helm.

Loved Colin as did my Dad, he is the best I've seen but the old man thought Peter Doherty

Franny.....maybe not the greatest but defiantly my favourite !

Very, very difficult to call. The game's changed so much. So have the pitches. Of those I've seen, Bell and Silva in their prime are standouts. Interestingly, I seem to remember reading somewhere recently (perhaps in programme notes?) that Buzzer considered Merlin the best he'd seen in a City shirt. And he's very, very loyal to that side he played in.

Silva

 

[The blue phantom]

Ya Ya

By an absolute distance.

Silva is the best footballer but Yaya gets the nod for me because of the sheer influence he has had.

 

[CrownPointBlue]

Colin Bell by a very narrow margin from Yaya,which tells you how good they each were/are.

 

[Damocles]

Silva.

Though watching videos of Franny Lee has made me appreciate how good he was and if he had modern training methods how good he could have been.
