I'd have thoughtNaming every Premier League and EFL club's greatest ever player
A definitive list of English football's biggest club legends 🤩
Based on succes, longevity and legacy. I don't think anyone can argue it being oggy really? Player, coach, manager and commentator. He really is Mr.CCFC I'd say. Maybe not as glamorous as Dublin or Huckerby or Keane. But he epitomises CCFC.

Yup, have to agree with that.
Yeah. Has to be up there.
He broke his leg in the second game in the top flight. So he did play in the then First Division. I doubt he would have played many 90 minutes these days, pussies.
Tommy, no question in my mind.
Also away game at Arsenal in his latter years , we lost 3-0 but if it wasn't for him it would have been about 10. He had more than a couple of good seasons for us in my opinion.
Yeah, they were the couple of good years
Based on succes he's our only player with the longevity and legacy that has won a cup. Based on other players that have won cups and had the same lasting legacy you can't put Lee Burge in the same league as Oggy? Granted, Kirkland and Hedman were both worlds above him as a GK, but neither won anything with the club or have the same legacy or longevity. I agree, in terms of class, flare and ability, there are thousands of players that would be above in. But that have stayed the distance AND actually won something? There are none that I can think of.
Where the “fairness” breaks down when comparing, say, Glazier with Oggie, is that it is rare for an individual player to be entirely responsible for winning anything. ( Personally I thought Jim Blyth was pretty good.)Borrows is probably my all time favourite, I absolutely loved the guy
So skilful, reliable, I remember he went to centre half later in his career for a while and was solid there too. Only ever saw two players get the better of him (in person anyway), Ruel Fox and bizarrely enough Ian Ormondroyd who gave him a torrid afternoon at Villa Park.
Very harsh on Oggy. Best player still Tommy Hutch; he'd still probably get in our team now
If we're talking "favourites" for me it has to be Peter Ndlovu. Born in 85 I was only about 7 or 8 when I met him at an autograph signing at HR. I was so nervous. I asked him, dead shy, "Peter, how do you say your name? In it un-love? Or nud-love?" He did reply, but what he said sounded like neither and I still to this day couldn't tell you what he saidBorrows is probably my all time favourite, I absolutely loved the guy

obviously something Zimbabwean, who knows? Not me that's for sure. Great memories. That's the thing with the football. As shit as we are right now, and as much as we all love a moan and a bitch, we've all got great and fond memories. Circumstances didn't help him injurywise .In the Cup I bet you he had a great influence at half time and definitely at the start of extra time remember going round to each player in turn and geeing them up.He was very much part of the team.

The next time I remember being so star struck was when I took my lad (maybe around the same age as i was) to the Allan Higgs xmas party and met Joe Cole. Best. Christmas. EVER!

.. Ndlovu was quite literally surrounded by women and was loving the attention..Just appointed Assistant at Rugby Town too!Borrows is probably my all time favourite, I absolutely loved the guy

First time End of an Era ball at the Metropole at the NEC (to commemorate leaving Highfield Road) anybody and everybody that had played or managed us was there.
I used to have that book, it’s a decent read. I’m pretty sure the fan tried to punch Herman rather than the other way round though?
