LuaLua hands(tand) down. Loved Jonny Byrne, but he wasn't at all FLAIR.

LuaLua did double backflips, kicked the ball ridiculously hard, ran 20 yards in about a second, had a crappy little BMW with a personalised plate (LUA9), was cousins of half of the football league, and was brave enough to sleep with Charlie Oatway's daughter!

Not to mention was involved in separate court cases: one relating to starting a mass brawl in Newcastle and the other for luzzing that woman's phone.

Ah, John Byrne is an absolute legend, so many great memories of him and Mike Small in a truly epic Goldstone era. Remember being absolutely gutted when he was injured for the playoff SF against Millwall. But was he flair, hmm. Compared to a Lua Lua backflip, sadly I guess not.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Yeah, loved Byrne, great player. Not sure how he fits any flair category though.

And the guy loved a Nando's!
