Most existing Safc player in your time

[turnthetide3]

George Herd - great inside forward who was also a bit of a trickster

 

[mad maxim]

Exciting rather than skillful, Gabbiadini when he first arrived, never quite sure what would happen when the ball went to him but always got the crowd up.
And he existed then exited.

 

[BumbleBee]

Probaly won't go down too well because he wasn't a forward, but Dick Malone for me because when he went on one of his runs it was a crowd lifter. Billy Hughes a close second.

I think Tricky was very under-rated.

 

[ROKER PARK]

There is no definitive answer as we all see players,make opinions, but some ,players just have moment which creates perfection and fulfills every ideology of the perfect player. We all have differing opinions which is great for discussion imagine if we all agreed (heaven fibid).

 

[Secret Visage]

Marco when he first burst onto the scene and those initial games in the first division.

Shame he didn't push on.

 

[Skylon]

Kenwyne was a beast until his injury. Just looked like he could bully any defence. Used to love watching him. Andy Welsh n'all

Not sure about Welsh but Kenwyne was incredible, on his day.

 

[spen666]

No mention for Gary Rowell?

 

[jayjaysafc]

Adam Johnson was far superior to both of them.

Yes but we don't talk about him anymore

 

[Scorer]

The “ something is going to happen here” players that stand out most are Gabbiadini, Smith, Sess, Magic, Bridges, SKP and Quinny. Honourable mentions to Summerbee, Hutchison, Steed, Bent, Jones McGeady and Gyan. Dishonourable mention to the sex offender.
Currently Roberts and Clarke vying for the accolade. Overall though if forced to name one that I found most exciting it would probably be Marco.

 

[SAFCOldie]

Kieron Brady.

 

[bowers2]

Steed was class. Too many in my 50 years.

 

[Arkle]

I'm pretty sure that Steve Hetzke still exists as a supertanker. He had the turning circle of one.

 

[Secret Visage]

Anyone mentioned Gareth f*cking Hall?

 

[Ale taster]

100% this.

The most skillful player, I ever had the privilege to see, playing for The Lads.

He had the lot - swagger, sublime skill, pace, vision & trickery.
He could set up & score goals, either with his head, or either foot, and he was a genuine, cool as fuck, Roker terrace hero.

Well said young man.

 

[Time bearing down]

SKP, Benty, knew you had a chance with those in the team. LND feels the same, but it is early days yet

 

[ErichZann]

Sess, Cisse, and Johnson were canny.

 

[rentaghost]

No mention for Gary Rowell?

He was class but it was all down to great positional sense and finishing ability rather than getting you off your seat.

He was a much better player than Marco but Marco was the most exciting for me

 

[Two million voices]

There’s a good few, Martin Smith, Don Hutchinson, Allan Johnston off the top of my head.

I’ll put Diallo in this as well as he’s a joy to watch at the moment.

 

[vinegar hill]

Well the most existing I’ve seen would be somebody like Charlie Hurley who has existed a long time.
