Simple enough, give me yours?

For me? And it's probably just a timing thing of when I started watching whites, is Nathan Blake!

 We've certainly had better players since but to me the guy was just top dog simply cos he bagged a loada goals when I first started watching us. 

2nd is Youri for being a rolls Royce, and third.... mmmmmm Campo!

McGinlay was the first player I idolised as a kid, but Gudni is my favourite of all time. Oozed class and was consistent as fuck. Probably a rose-tinted view, but don't remember him ever having a bad game. Bumped into him on Middlebrook the day before the Play-Off final against Preston and he was a proper nice bloke too.

Neil Whatmore .

For being a 70s goal machine and his profile on the back of Shoot magazine.

 

Frandsen - my idol growing up, got to meet him a few times and it was like meeting God.

Whenever I see clips of him pop up on twitter etc. it just proves that he was actually as good as I remember he was - a complete midfielder.

Cant pick one as theres a handful, so ill pick the one who wont get picked by anybody else

Gardner

Frankie, end the thread.......

Youri 

Favourite was between SJM and SKD, nothing between them.

 

Best since I’ve been watching them. Anelka 

Best would be from Hiero, Djorkaev, Cahill, Reid, Worthington, Frannie Lee, Anelka, Gudni, Okocha.

Favourite ... has to be Campo.

I utterly adored the man.

This. 

I also have a soft spot for Bergson. 

Okocha - most talented, skillful and entertaining player I've ever seen for Bolton, no player as given me the joy he gave me, he made me smile and laugh when he used to dribble and pull out his showboating.

2nd Youri.

Super John for me. 

Made my Childhood. Took us to places we only ever dreamed about.

Plus 1 

Frankie was my idol when I was younger but to throw another one in there from my youth.... Peter Thompson, absolutely unplayable at times, a joy to watch & an absolute gent too. 

Watching Okocha and Djorkaeff was an absolute privilege, but neither of them come close to SJM. 

This is a great thread for revealing posters' ages 🙂

Dave Sutton. No man rocked a bleached blonde bubble perm as well as he did.

 

Mad Ged Taggart. What a man.

Mine too. As a kid I absolutely idolised him. He briefly lived on the street next to us with his club Lada on the drive! 

In later years I had a man crush on both McGinlay and Bergsson.

Impossible to pick. Trying to think who gave me the most pleasure watching us. 

It's a toss up between SJM and Okocha.

Andy Walker and Frankie close seconds but didn't seem to be here that long.

I reckon he was taken for granted just because how reliable he was .a beast. Hair cuts aside Dempsey is from the same mould, albeit he doesn't have that pile-driver shot Per had

A difficult choice, has to be an older player for me, JB worth the entrance fee and then we had Frankie, we were spoiled
