When you were a NIPPER which player did you want to be?

[Meade's Ball]

Jan Molby. A big, fat, immovable passer of perfection.

 

[Mendoza]

Robert Molenaar, Horacio Carbonari or Lars Bohinen

 

[zoom]

Paul Ince

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Justin Fashanu

 

[jevs]

One of the best true profesional footballers that has ever graced a football pitch.... Billy Bonds, my absolute hero.

 

[bigc]

Les Ferdinand.

Always thought everyone forgot how good he was when ego man Shearer arrived.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

 

[Mackenzie]

Garry Nelson

 

[Seagullible]

Perry Digweed

 

[smudge]

Pele, Rivelinho, Jarzinho, Tostao, Carlos Alberto, Peter Osgood, George Best, Bobby Charlton, Steve Heighway.......then I was taken to see the Albion......Kit Napier, John Templeman, Willie Irvine.

(As a kid Leeds were a great team....but we still hated them!)

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Charlie Buchan.

 

[Dover]

Tommy Smith

 

[logan89]

Michael Owen
Andy Cole
But most importantly...

Alan Shearer (Although when i got to about 12 years old, my slight lack of height ment that i couldn't emulate Shearer's style of play)

[Alfie22]

Frank Stapleton

 

[Deductions]

Lee Chapman/ Vinnie Jones!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Never Peter Ward...... Eric Steele or Paul Clark


However I had a real thing about underrated goalkeepers and the two that stick out were Alan Rough and Frederik Koncilia. There was also Hans Croy .

If you ever get a chance, see the 1971 (I think) Scottish Cup Final when a young Alan Rough pretty much stopped Celtic on his own.... a much-maligned super keeper!

 

[Braders]

the guy is GOD.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Any Brazilian player from the 1970's world cup squad, especailly Carlos Alberto as we share the same first name. You can add Eusabio to the list as well.


All time hero is Bobby Charlton, brilliant player and a first class gent, shows you just how far modern day footballers have fallen.

BTW shit at football so played Rugby and in Rugby terms has to be our Lord Gareth Edwards

Daglish for me. Why I always wanted/want to be number 7

Was very disappointed when I grew up and realised what a dull fucker he is.

Skills tho
