Most skillfull player ever to wear the stripes

[BHseagull]

John Crumplin, football genius

 

[driller]

Worth a mention for Darren Currie. exceptional skill, technique and control. Sadly realised just how good he was when he was surrounded by a better calibre players at Ipswich.

get real. in the last 4 years maybe but ever

he could control. stand still or stroll forward then cross well but skill? no.

Seb Carole is up there

[Easy 10]

George Best is Irish

Really ?

I've been watching the Albion since the 1965/66 season - so it's Peter Ward by a country mile. I appreciate that those of you who didn't see him play can't judge him and therefore have your own favourites, but if you HAD seen him ......

Honourable mention for Frank Worthington who was obviously well past his best when he played for us but was still capable of producing the odd moment of sublime skill.

 

[BLOCK F]

Wardy!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Peter Ward






Mentions for

Peter O'Sullivan
Tony Towner
Mark Lawrenson
Bobby Zamora
Gary Nelson

 

[goldstone]

Matt Le Tissier, still.

Le Tissier played for Brighton?

Or does he qualify because of that appearance in a testimonial game?

Yep

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Gordon Smith must be in the top 5 for skill.

Not for bottle though

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Leon Knight.

 

[Northstander]

Wardy and Lawro for me.

Thread Closed.

I'm sure everyone's seen this before, but won't ever get bored of watching Frank Worthington's goal for Bolton v Ipswich

Even the ref can be seen applauding.
I was at University at Leicester in the early-mid 70's when Frank was in his pomp playing for City with Weller, Rofe, Cross et al and he regularly used to do things like this - just a shame that the cameras didn't catch many in those days. Remember an outrageous backheal from the edge of the penalty area against Sheff Utd that went in like a volley.
And he used to regularly be in the pub until about 1:30 on match days.

Ward for me though, Frank with the silver medal.

Bloody hell, we agree on something!

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Wardy the most exciting and skilful player I ever saw in the stripes.
But Lawrenson the most accomplished footballer.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

And I seem to remember some other bloke who wasn't half bad - step forward Mr Wilkins

 

[Mrs Coach]

John Byrne and Bobby Zamora

 

[Igor Gurinovich?]

In the time I've been watching the Albion.. its Gotsmanov or Byrne,

Sergei wins it for that goal against Hull.
