Afc Strikers

[ericblack4boss]

on the rumours page, Darren mackie thread tere is a debate on who would be classed as the best pound for pound striker in our history

if you had to have three classes who would be in each class here are mine

(from my time of watching the Dons)

 

1st class- Frank McDougall, without doubt for me the best finisher we have ever had at the club,

Duncan Shearer, again absoulutely lethal with the added arieal presence.

Eric Black, No surprise here eh! but look at his record, scored in every cup final he played, and his ariel prowess and salmon like leap make him fist class for me, after all he was never looked upon as an out and out striker.

 

2nd class- Arild Stavrum , his goals to game ratio was great but it was his lack of work ethic that stopped him being first class,

Eion Jess, worked hard, scored goals but for me under achieved with his talent ultimately.

Mixu Paatelainen, good striker for in what for me was the most potenet forward line we ever boasted.

Hans Gillhaus, Dutch internationalist and despit hi undoubted pedigree, his sulking, and drooping bottom lip prevented him from being top class.

Charlie Nicholas, a great signing who was finished before coming to Pittodrie, whilst he had great skill and ability for me throught his whole career he went missing to often during games.

Billy Dodds, his goal scoring record stands up to scrutiny well, and he should have been around longer to score more goals,

 

3rd class, Scott Vernon, Scott Booth, #

 

and finally no class

Darren Mackie, Leon Mike, Tommy Wright.

to be added to no class: magennis, paton, hinds..............blaha

[Ke1t]

Hard to separate McDougall, Shearer and Gillhaus.

 

Best footballer was, without a doubt, Hans Gillhaus. He was, outside of the GXI, one of the finest players to ever don the red of Aberdeen.

Mcghee had a slightly better goals per game ratio than Stavrum.

[K-9]

Seriously no mention of Harper?

[Redstar]

Charlie Nick was the most complete striker AFC ever signed...on and off the pitch...had the ability on the park and had the persona of a football star off the pitch...legend

[Dynamo]

I like Vernon but there's no way he's on a par with Booth.

[caledonia]

Seriously no mention of Harper?

 

He does say "from my time of watching the Dons" so maybe it was before his time or even before his time just watching

But if not you cant exclude arguably the best pound for pound striker Aberdeen ever had (no pun intended)

[Dynamo]

Well before my time but going on goals scored he has to be number 1.

Joe Harper

Steve Archibald

Charlie Nicholas

Hans Gillhaus

Frank McDougall

 

You could add Zolt

[Redstar]

I like Vernon but there's no way he's on a par with Booth.

???...Vernon is far better than Booth...a fanny boy at best...hopeless wee boy who was never fit to wear the AFC shirt

[Redstar]

No-one sums it up better than Bobby...no words required

[Frank Butcher]

Tried to put them into 3 groups but found it easier to put them into 5.

 

1st -Shearer, MacDougall, Ghillaus, Nicohlas

 

2nd - Jess, Black

 

3rd- Hewitt, Booth, Mixu, Stavrum, Windass

 

4th, - Irvine, Wright, Vernon, Falconer, Lee Miller, Dodds (Davie & Billy).

 

4.5th Zero, Dadi

 

5th - All the rest

 

Lovell 1st v Rangers 5th against everyone else

 

Some may be harshly judged and some a bit generous,

 

And I proberly missed someone obvious, and Jess was used in midfield blah blah etc

Followed by Frankie Boy. No-one else comes close.

 

 

 

I'm talking about pure strikers here.

[The Boofon]

McDougall

Gillhaus

Black

Shearer

 

Those four are in my top % for having seen play.

 

That's not in any particular order after McDougall who was without doubt, in my opinion, the greatest striker Aberdeen have ever had.

 

I'm sure Fergie also said he's the best striker he's ever bought which is saying something as he's bought some fair players in his time.

[ChutneyLove]

Every Dons fan should get pished in the Crit at least once a year to help fund Frank McDougall's retirement.

Don't think he owns it any more. Upped and left Aberdeen last season.

 

Not sure if still owns it though but think he got rid as pub was closed a while back then.

Not sure how strict Aberdeen city council is with regards to revoking licences to run / own a pub, McDougall was charged and fined for being drunk in charge of his own pub, and prior to that he was caught drink driving. every chance when his licence was up for renewal it was refused on the basis he was not a fit and proper person to hold one due to the police charges.

[oilcat]

Joe Harper, far and away out on his own

[caledonia]

Not really a striker but i must mention Arthur Graham who i forgot in my last post.
