legends of the decades

[summerisle]

Honorable mention for Derek Mountfield, 100 games and virtually a goal every five matches.

00s: Cahill
10s: Baines
20s: Whoever scores the winner vs Arsenal to keep us up.

A dog runs onto the pitch and deflects the ball in.

REALLY difficult this. Off the top of my head I would go for -
60's Ball
70's Latchford
80's Southall
90's Kanchelski
2000's Rooney
2010's Coleman
Currrently Richarlison


*disclaimer
These could well change if I gave it much thought lol

I liked Kanchelskis, but having him as our man for the 90’s is poor. He’s was only at the club for 2 seasons, played 52 games. I think people remember him because of the type of player he was. He got the fans off their seats, but I would put, Dave Watson, Barry Horne and Duncan Ferguson ahead of Kanchelskis to have that sort of “legend of the 90’s” status.

That's fair. I was looking at it more as 'favourite player' of the decade rather than 'legend'
I need to rethink this when I'm sober lol

As it is now my birthday it will take some time for me to get there

 

[Paul Rideout]

I understand your angle and I kind of agree (I did pick Kanchelskis though), but longevity would mean that Hibbert is a must have for the 2000’s and Pennington is a must for the 2010’s

And I think most people were gutted when we sold him to Fiorentina… he did more for me in those 2 years excitement wise than anyone since I think… maybe peak Arteta.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

70s - Latchford
80s - Reid
90s - Kanchelskis
00s - Judas Arteta
10s - Lukaku
20s - Richarlison

I agree with that wholeheartedly. You’re absolutely bang on the mark for my money. But why was Mikel a Judas?

He was the best little Spaniard we knew, but like Moyes at the end his head was turned when Gooners came sniffing - sadly

I don’t just look at length of time, but for me he just wasn’t here long enough to be considered, coupled with the fact we didn’t win anything in that time, not his fault, but if I am picking my man of the 90’s I would even put Rideout ahead of him because he scored the goal in the cup final. Plus he was here from 92 to 97, so covered a significant period of time.

 

[banno]

60's Labone
70"s Lyons
80's Reid
90's Watson
2000's Cahill
2010's Seamus
Now Gordon

Lyons is a good shout

He pushed for a transfer then abused the club when he first played us for Arsenal.

A helmet headed Judas.

 

[Papa Shango]

Graeme Stuart for 90's. Won the cup and saved us from oblivion.
