Frank Worthington, more flair in his little finger than the rest put together. Serial shagger, Elvis impersonator and a pleasure to watch. I can appreciate the flairniac qualities of Bruno, Biley Kraay and Codner but none can hold a candle to Worthington. As for the rest , what are they even doing on the list?

 

[Frutos]

I voted Molango - it was close between him and Bruno but I assumed (rightly so far) that Bruno will cruise through so I figured my vote could be more tatically used with Maheta.

 

[greenfordgull]

Bruno, signed from a champions league team, prone to ridiculously classy moves in absurdly tight defensive situations, only scores screamers, half of hackney is jealous of his beard. it is so hipster...

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The Hawk. He has got to win this one for the Stockport debacle alone.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Malango and Hawkins

 

[Luke93]

Has to be Bruno. His opening Albion career goal was an outside of the box FLAIR belter!!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

I feel like people are trying to sabotage the contest by voting for Hawkins

 

[WhingForPresident]

Big col.

 

[Mellotron]

Bruno, signed from a champions league team, prone to ridiculously classy moves in absurdly tight defensive situations, only scores screamers, half of hackney is jealous of his beard. it is so hipster...

This sums up Bruno so well. When he first joined he played like he was retired and on the beach. He's a BIT more sensible defensively now, although still prone to disgusting outbursts of flair.

Bruno for me.

 

[greenfordgull]

I don't see how the hawk's on field antics make him flair. There is a subtle mistake being made here. I once saw dicanio sent of for arguing with the referee in an fa cup third round replay over a throw in. The fact he could be utterly brilliant meant such moments of madness added to his flair. Hawkins on the other hand was just violent and useless. I conceded this could give him cult status, but never flair...

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Colin Hawkins is definitely not flair

Worthington gets my vote. Mental skills both on and off the pitch. Honourable mentions to Bruno and Kraay.

 

[MattBackHome]

I never saw Worthington but am informed he possessed almost Vicente-level skillz. Combine that with a quasi-Bestian lifestyle and you get serious flair. However I have to go with my heart and vote Codner. Molango runs him close though.

 

[Mackenzie]

It's quite clearly Worthington, the ultimate showman, his failure to win this vote will render the competition meaningless.

 

[Gwylan]

It's quite clearly Worthington, the ultimate showman, his failure to win this vote will render the competition meaningless.

Agreed. The very definition of flair - Bruno's a mere dilettante in the showmanship stakes

 

[MattBackHome]

Have to say it's not the strongest group. For me the competition truly comes alive when this chap makes an appearance:

Big Frank for me. A pleasure to watch him play and rather 'naughty' off the pitch too...
