Best Albion striker of last 20 years

[Superseagull]

Zamora for his all round play and goals record was the best.

John Byrne 2nd as he was just pure class. Partnership with Mike Small was one of the best the club has ever had.

3rd Nogan. I think Nogan was a class striker who had to play in a pretty poor Albion team. Wasn't he on the verge of signing for Liverpool once when he was with us?

 

[John Dorian]

i can only comment on what i have seen - so zamora

 

[harold robbins]

Zamora for me.

Perhaps broadening the debate a bit but I would`nt mention him in the same breath as Peter Ward who was a class apart.

 

[Gully]

I voted for Bobby, what did it for me was that his goals by and large guaranteed two successive championships and if he hadn't spent the first half of the season injured might just have kept us in the first division last time round.

Byrne and Small were a good partnership as were Nelson and Bremmner, we don't seem to have been able to field a genuine pair up front on a continuous basis since the former two left. Kurt Nogan was also pretty good and as someone mentioned played in an Albion team that was on the decline, he would have probably made a good partner up front for Bobby.

The other thing about Bobby was that supporters from other teams were talking about him, even when we were playing in the third division, that does't happen too often, another mark of how good a player he was during his time with us.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

as per Gully. His goals record is unparalelled. Byrne was a class act but how many did he score?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Why has no one mentioned Dean Saunders yet - he was awesome for us. Everyone goes for BZ because he's the most recent prolific goal-scorer the club has had. We all know about Wardy but Mez Mellor assisted with 75% of his goals. Sure Byrne, Robbo and Nelson were good to, but for me its:

DEANO! DEANO! DEANO!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Nobody has mentioned Kerry Mayo's achievement of once being the season's top scorer.

Fred Binney

Fred Binney

Binney left 27 years ago. It has to be Bobby in the last twenty.

 

[chez]

Johnny Byrne without a doubt for me. He was pure class - zamora has scored more of course but in my mind was never in the same class as Budgie.

 

[Skintagain 1983]

Er... Der....

What a daft poll!!

 

[chez]

Er... Der....

What a daft poll!!

So who have you gone for??

 

[Skintagain 1983]

Er ... The Bobster?

Sorry... Was there ever any doubt?

 

[CHAPPERS]

From those I've seen?

Dickov.

 

[Blackadder]

Zamora.

If it had been the last 30 years, I would have voted differently!

 

[Marshy]

as per Gully. His goals record is unparalelled. Byrne was a class act but how many did he score?

I bet he got as many as Zamora did for us in the old Div 1....

 

[GUNTER]

Connor

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Dickov was pretty uselful on loan.

Zamora though for me.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Byrne & Small were the best partnership, and were very good compared to the best of what was a fairly mediocre team at the time.

Zamora has been the best in his own right though.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Craig Maskell ("you sausage").




I loved Mark Gall. He scored an amazing goal in the last minute in a 4-3 defeat at home to Millwall. I was so excited when he was taking people on and banging them in the top corner. A great few months.

Saying that, i loved Nogan too. He was being slagged off when he started. Then he got hit in the arse with a goalkeeper's clearance. The ball rebounded into the empty net from 30 yards and then he couldn't stop scoring. Had a touch of real class about him.
