what are milsoms qualifications?

 

not saying he shouldn't bethere, just i've never heard of him?

235 apps 142 gls,i put the question mark in the thread title because if ive made a booby i can change it before i paint it,sounds like a pretty good qualification though?

Its your picture pal but I reckon asking for our input is a masterstroke

If you're looking to sell some, I just don't think he'll shift any

What's the full list as it stands?

BTW, its great and the club ought to buy the original

I think it looks great, as much as I love him, I'm not so sure I would have had Barry Cowdrill in there, or Hierro. It might have been nice to have David Jack in there (although I don't have he foggiest what he looks like)

 

Anyway, I'm glad I've ordered a copy and am really looking forward to getting it

its a strange thing with legends,one player can play 3 games and be one (george best for stockport)another can play 400 and be nowhere,suppose its impossible to do the definitive without putting 100 players in there

Posted

i remember george best in front of a record crowd took 3 corners in succession,one touched onto the bar,one deflected over the next went in,well thats how i remember it anyway

Barry deserved to be up there  he was a bright light in the old Division 3 days, a left back (short on that position apart from Gardener) and a player who seemed to enjoy playing.

I've never heard of the fella too. Dave Higson would make a good replacement. Also bang the FA Cup in there somewhere and i will forgive you for not including Ian Greaves ;)

Milsom was a great in the 30s

 

 

I have a large framed photo of him from the Burnden Park auction

Mr Walks  -  if i send some pics of ''the lads'' from the 80's,90's and modern day,could you rustle something up for us ? Sales would be decent with us lot I'd imagine.  I'd have mine in a Tacchini tracky if poss

I think Jackie Milsom should be in but definitely not Barry Cowdrill. For me he is out of place in such hallowed company. Nowt against him personally but 'crazy legs' was just a bit of comedy relief at a low point in our history. Think he should be replaced by Freddie Hill if missed or David Jack, Willie Moir. Would have said Dick Pym but there is already a few goalies.

 

Brilliant idea though love it and fantastic artwork sir

He asked for names I suggested a player, I have purchased and that makes me a patron of the arts I am now out to buy a cigar, a big hat and a monocle.
