Free Kick specialists.

[BensGrandad]

Who do people think is the best in recent times I think Paul Watson my son thinks Darren Currie but i think Watson scored more goals and assists from his kicks.

Beckham is not bad.

 

[Wardy]

Chippy? Remember his goal against Spurs very well.

 

[HP Seagull]

You'll struggle to find a better free-kick taker in England than Currie. I would say he is one of the most naturally talented dead-ball specialists to ever play for the Albion.

 

[BensGrandad]

When did Beckham play for Birghton?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Obviously Paul Watson!!! No question, surely.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

When did you say he had to play for Brighton?!

 

[little al]

When did Beckham play for Birghton?

Where did he mention they had to?

I would say he is one of the most naturally talented dead-ball specialists to ever play for the Albion.

Better than Dean Wilkins? I remember when he placed the ball, it was as good as giving us the goal.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Whatever happened to clever free-kick routines that flummox the opposition?

Last one I can recall was Argentina's one v England in 1998...

 

[BensGrandad]

I edited it when I saw somebody had added Beckham, which was so obvious nobody would have said Watson or Currie over the likes of Beckham, Ronaldo etc.

Tsk!

Sorry Ben'sGrandad - owned by a palace fan there!

I would argue it was same with Currie. When we had a free-kick 20/25 yards out you knew he would deliver quality. I remember the one he scored against QPR at Withdean; I knew it was going in (well sort of) the moment the foul was committed.

Note I didn't say he was THE best, but ONE OF the best. Shame he wasn't here longer.

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

I can remember Robbie Pethick towering over the ball a few times for free kicks when he played for us. It did make me shudder!

 

[Burgess Hill Seagulls]

Paul Waston's free kick away to Port Vale the season we won the league sums it up for me. Paul Watson hands down.

 

[Silent Bob]

Nicky Forster, 100% record.

They called 'Ryan Taylor' (Newcastle) a set-piece specialist today on Sky Sports during Spurs/Toon. He then hit the first man about 4 times.
