I would certainly have Gibson ahead of him. He was phenomenal for us in a relatively poor team in the top division. He scored a hatrick against Liverpool when they were by far the best team in the country and his goalscoring record was way more impressive than Gyokeres' and against much better teams.So you're selecting Gibson as your best ever forward - ahead of Gyo? That's ok as it's impossible to prove across different eras and purely an opinion.
Albeit as interesting opinion as usual.
I know who I would have leading the line, Gyo is the most 'unplayable' player for defenders I have seen in the shirt.
As someone in their mid 20's I'd say Doyle, McSheffrey, Baker and maybe Shipley. I'm hesitant to name players still with us but Kelly, Fadz and O'Hare if he stays could be in contention.
Not sure what I'd classify Vik and Gus as but they do have a place in our histor
I didn't think Steve Hunt was that good and back I the early 80s England squad wasn't great , I think my granny could have got in.Wallace was my childhood hero who I had the pleasure to meet last year but I still would place Vik above him in my all time. Very different players in every sense.
Hamer. I have seen few players in our team who could single handedly drive forward and change the direction of games.
Steve Hunt was in England squads from 1982 and capped in 1984 - not so random and simply one of the best I have seen in midfield.
From my childhood:
Dublin, Huckerby and Whelan
From my teens:
Adebola, McSheffrey and Gunnarsson
From my 20s:
-
From my 30s:
Hamer
Gyo

Ever so slightly just before I started going, they were. Wilson and Maddison could have become the ones for my 20s but both were sold so quickly after breaking through. Really is such a pity the club was in such a mess when both of them were on the scene.Id add Nuddy and Gallacher to that myself from just before Dublin et al
Jeez! Slim pickings there.As someone in their mid 20's I'd say Doyle, McSheffrey, Baker and maybe Shipley. I'm hesitant to name players still with us but Kelly, Fadz and O'Hare if he stays could be in contention.
Not sure what I'd classify Vik and Gus as but they do have a place in our history.
Great idea for a thread mate.In the past 15/20 years aside from McFadzean who would you say is a modern day legend, maybe Kelly, Doyle and Julian Gray
I used to love watching Moussa. Wilson and Clarke got all of the headlines but Moussa was just as important.The Pressley team as a group playing in Northampton with a points deduction deserve a mention. Played some hugely entertaining but largely unwatched stuff. The likes of Wilson, Clarke, Moussa.
Ray Graydon was class.I vividly remember the entire crowd chanting "Hunt must stay" at several games, he was that good.
Unfortunately he didn't.
Can't recall any other clamour about a player potentially leaving.
In fact, sack the board was the only song sang with more vigour.

Stewart Robson, Jose Perdomo , Graham Oakey. Three absolutely class players that , had they remained for another season or two , would have been legendary.
Oakey was the best left back we ever had without doubt and would have easily fitted into the modern game today given his attacking style .
