Best Player To Have Faced The White

Not sure if there has been a thread on here before, but who is the best player you have seen to line up for the opposition?

 

For me it has to be Gullit or Hagi

Agree with that in fact id agree with both,

I think Frank Ribery was pretty up there...

No he's never been pretty

Tee hee.

Ricky Otto was class :good:

Saw Best in 75-76 for fulham who scored a good un against us at Burnden. Gullet was good that day when Chelsea came to town.

Rodney Jack 8o)

 

We could never EVER defend against him!

Joe Cole is one that always seems to play well against us!

Wayne Jacobs.

Wayne Jacobs.

 

At least one MOTM performance against us. :rofl:

I forget the score but he tore us apart in Crewe's win at the Reebok and lost me a fortune. I had Bolton as a banker on three lines of a fixed odds coupon. Every other selection on one of the lines came up! Well, when I say a fortune I think it'd have been enough for me to still be bitter about it!

At least one MOTM performance against us. :rofl:

 

One of the most random tannoy annoucements!

 

Mark Stein and "Super" Bobby Taylor always seemed to do well against us and who can forget a certain John McGinlay's hat trick at Burnden for the bucket-shakers and on that front David Lee used to make Barry Cowdrill et al look like they were running backwards...

 

Robbie Fowler took us apart an Anfield once

 

But consistently, the best player we've faced for me has been (and it's topical) is Ryan Giggs - he's scared the shit out of our defenders time after time...

The game where he was so close we could have legged the linesman up if we'd wanted. I lost count the amount of "Oi, we shout, you flag." comments I heard during that game.

 

I also took my mate's lad who was from Bradford but supported Leeds. He's now another Yorkshire wanderer! Not bad seeing as he only wanted to go so he could tell his Bradford-supporting classmates how shite they were.

Ryan Giggs for me too

Unfortunately I think it has to that two hat at O.T. I think he will end up being the best player ever.

Wayne Jacobs.

 

 

You're crackers....

Duncan Ferguson scored a hatrick of headers against us once at Everton - cant think of anybody else who's done that - must be a contender for best aerial threat

Persil non-bio :good:

Probably not the most talented but Neil Redfearn and Craig Hignett always scored loads against us :blink:

Seem to recall a certain Jan Age Fjortoff (or whatever he was called) enjoyed playing against us for boro and Barnsley.

And Swindon I think??

I think Frank Ribery was pretty up there...

 

Maybe for the player he has turned into but not at the time he played against us.

 

 

Tony Cunningham used to always put the shits up us, to such a degree that I am sure we signed him because we couldn't think of any other way of stopping him!

veron in a pre season friendly against inter.

 

fookin unbelievable, a world class display putting the ball anywhere on the pitch, with minimum effort. genius!

Saw David Villa for Real Zaragoza v the whites at the Reebok.

 

Wasn't spectacular but my god worth a few bob now <_<
