[Albion] Who was/is your favourite ever Albion captain

[Mackenzie]

This was my initial choice, more to do with it was my era and when I first started going to watch the Albion...

However how can you argue against Bruno or Dunk

Yeah Danny was the captain when I first started going, I thought he was brilliant.

Christ Almighty

I agree

Me and you Watford.

Obviously, you're the sheep.

Iconic dynamo, pretty snazzy kit back then

 

[The Large One]

Brian Horton, for me. He kept a fairly disparate bunch with the potential to be wild on the straight-and-narrow - with excellent results.

Wilson was a great leader in times of falling standards and club instability.

Rogers / Cullip had a self-policing, self-disciplined group to work with.

Greer went about his job quietly and efficiently. Except on the pitch.

Bruno went way beyond what is expected of a captain, but again, he had a disciplined bunch in his side.

Dunk has the potential to be a great captain, but for me it's too soon - just one season - to judge.

 

[Megazone]

Loved Danny Cullip. Organised the defence so well.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Dunk. I live in the present.

Honorable mention to Nobby Lawton, though:

Some of you should be happy then that Brian Horton is still influencing the club.

“If you look at his career, he’s been influenced by Cruyff and played at Barcelona. I had Brian Horton and Macclesfield. It’s slightly different, no disrespect to Brian Horton,” Potter says, smiling.

[jamie (not that one)]

Foster or Bruno

 

[Barrow Boy]

Brian Horton without a shadow of a doubt, if things weren't going well for the team Nobby used to take control and more often than not created a chance or scored himself. He was a nightmare for referees, always in their ear, berating them challenging decisions and generally making a nuisance of himself. But what a leader, everyone knew who was boss, he was Mullery's sergeant at arms on the pitch, an Albion legend.

 

[Surf's Up]

Nobby - he was Mullery on the pitch...great captain.

 

[seagull_special]

Nobby Horton the epitome of a captain.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Nobby

Lawton that is. No, actually Dave Turner, in my mind a bloodied hero. No, wait a minute, probably Horton, or maybe Fozzie.

Hang on, what are the parameters here? Personality, charisma, nous, leadership, charisma, achievements, trophies, promotions or what.

Horton, didn't need an armband to provide a clue to spectators that he was the captain, you just knew from his actions and persona

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Another vote for Cullip.

 

[Icy Gull]

Very true. Arguing with so many ref’s decisions and geeing up the team whilst leading by example gave it away

 

[Poyningsgull]

Horton by a mile

 

[Jeremiah]

Nobby Horton - inspirational captain. Dunky is getting there but not quite yet.

 

[tigertim68]

Nobby for me , how I wished we had a player like Horton

 

[Beanstalk]

Cullip edges it for me but god I love(d) Gordon Greer.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Horton - comfortably.
