[Albion] Who's the flairest of them all? 2024- NOMINATIONS THREAD

[hans kraay fan club]

I saw him in what I think was his only competitive appearance (already 3-0 up against Burton in the League Cup) and I don't remember this aspect. I do however feel like I'm in a special group of about 5-600 Albion fans that actually saw the man play though.

Anyone who travels to Burton for a League Cup match is part of a 'special' group, Toko Nzuzi or not! But yes, our 'reward' for that commitment, was to witness one player's entire Albion 'career'.

I'm sure there are other players with plenty of single-appearance Albion careers that I've witnessed too. In fact, I'm going to go and start another thread about this...

I'd like to nominate Igor. Built like a brick shithouse, cool name, swashbuckling runs out of defence, leg tattoos.

Also nominating Davy Propper. Languid style, flowing locks, technical ability with a feeling of 'not sure he is actually arsed about this', that double foul, retiring young because he couldn't be arsed, then coming back etc.

 

[TomandJerry]

As nominations:

Peter Ward

Vicente

Oh good, I’ll be on that thread like a fly on sh*t.

Another nomination:

Alexis Mac Allister

Winning a World Cup is flair

 

[Blue3]

Spanish Dave just for that free kick

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I remember that as it was my husband’s birthday. He loved their faggots and peas!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Seconding Davy Propper just for the beautiful hair

 

[Blue3]

Alan Duffy great hair with massive sideburns was often the only substitute who would invariably come on and either commit a foul or boot the ball over the south stand towards the bakery

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Valentín Barco

Barely kicked a ball for us yet
Looks like a madman
Extravagant tattoos
Absurd hair

Neal Maupay

The longer it is since he left the more I love him
Our record wind-up merchant
Doesn't give a f***

Maupay and flair are not two words I’d put together.

[TomandJerry]

Any secondary voters for the world cup winner ?!

 

[zefarelly]

Nobby . . . Shirley.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Alan Duffy. Scruffy, maverick, and did a shot that hit the left post, went behind the keeper, hit the right post and out again. I was behind the South goal and though I would never see such a thing again. Duffy just slumped away.

Then there was the time when Kit Napier was about to take a penalty at the Goldstone north end when Duffy took it upon himself to run up and take it himself .. and miss. Didn't go down too well.

Any secondary voters for the world cup winner ?!

Doesn’t fit the idea of flair imo. Too accomplished, no drama or unpredictability.
