Saigon Raider Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 When I was growing up I loved Sampdoria and Roberto Mancini was my favourite player. Alongside Vialli et al he was excellent. Favourite Saints player - George O'Boyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Favourite player ever by a country mile is Andrea Pirlo. Never seen anyone pass a ball like him. Consistently brilliant every week for his whole career. Unreal player. Notable mentions for Zidane, Brazilian Ronaldo and Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 For the Rovers, Scott Chaplain: he first signed for us almost ten years ago, at 21, and over those two seasons set the heather on fire, unforgettably scoring 23 goals from midfield in the 2006/07 season and winning the division's Player Of The Year award. He earned his two seasons in full-time football, after which his old boss Jim Chapman signed him for Dumbarton, but his legendary status has only ever existed at Cliftonhill. On his return, in 2011, he was an instrumental part of the most successful Rovers team of my lifetime so far- the squad who, on one of the lowest wage budgets in Scotland, achieved promotion and against-all-odds survival. When he came back last season he was our top scorer, and his quality and experience was crucial in our unbelievable cup run, which included two of the biggest shock results in Rovers history. In my 15 years watching the Rovers, Scott has been our greatest individual achiever, and an instrumental part of our best league and cup performances. A class act, gentleman and hero, is Chappy, and he always will be. In world football, Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 As a boy, Dixie Deans, I cried when he signed for Celtic. Gunter Netzer was class, but my all time favourite would be Johan Cruyff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ale Del Piero, Francesco Totti and Clarence Seedorf. Saying Goodbye to Del Piero remains one of the saddest things I've ever read. He was my first footballing hero. I had the pleasure of meeting the great man in Turin airport in 1996. The Juve team were heading out to play Fenerbahce (I think) in the champs league. Zidane eclipsed him a year or so later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Think it all goes back to being a big fan of Italian football when I was younger, and when this guy was at his peak, he was just phenomenal. One of the reasons I was delighted with Italy winning the World Cup in 06, not that lifting a World Cup automatically makes you a great player, but for me a player of his calibre deserves one. Special mentions goes to this guy too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Of players who I saw in the flesh on a regular basis, it has to be Davie Cooper. Rangers were awful in the early 80s but he was just mesmerising to watch and streets ahead of everyone around him. I remember one European game in particular where he ripped the Ilves Tampere defence to shreds time and again, setting a few goals up which were quite literally tap ins.

The Nightfly Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Ken Eadie. Top goal scorer for the Bankies. Even though he later played for the team I will always dislike the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
