Nicholas was more hype than substance, in my opinion. Way past his best by the time he rocked up here.

2 McDougall

3 Shearer 

4 Archibald 

5 McGhee

1. Joey - goals speaks for themselves

2. McGhee - his importance to the best team we’ve ever had was huge

3. Archibald 

4. Gilhaus - brief, but class

5. Black 

 

[Zeus]

1. Shearer

2. Booth

3. Paatelainen

4. Rooney

5.  Vernon

Shearer was different class. 

Almost had Stavrum in front of Vernon but the hatrick at Tannadice beats him.

Grim times on the whole for me.  A whole load of absolute dross strikers for the most

In terms of talent you’re in amongst Gilhaus, Nicholas, Archibald but for sheer (no pun) sticking-it-in-the-onion-Bag-ness hard to leave Shearer, Harper, Rooney out.  McGhee (with his mouth shut) gets honorary position for being able to do both against all levels of opposition.  Exactly what we don’t have now.

quick test.  Everyone close their eyes.  Imagine Arild bearing in on goal.  Now open them.  In how many of your memories was he onside?

Sakes Arild.

Aye Dodds and Windass were possibles. 

 

Left them out for their Hun tendencies 

[Zeus]

Aye, was spouting off regularly about them regularly when his loon was there though.  Gads. A no no for me 

 

My old man was staying at the same hotel as him in tenerife a few year back and did say he was a good lad tbf

Jeez... he shouldn’t be in the top 10

[Simply Red]

Deano never played for the huns. Just his loon. Twitter spat with huns after his son left, so he hates them and vice versa. Good lad.

Charlie Nic

Hans

Shearer (him and mixu where potent)

Windass

Rooney 

(arild offside did my fucking nut in - for a guy who wrote a book, he was a thick fucker on the pitch)

 

 

 

 

[The Cockney Don]

'Charrrrlie Nicholas is a Wanker is a Wanker'

'Charrrrlie Nicholas is a Wanker is a Wanker'

 

Still is.

[sooth_stander]

Charlie Nic probably deserves a thread all on its own, to discuss how good he really was at AFC, or otherwise. 

First 6 months, waaay overweight, totally unfit, and playing under a manager who clearly had no say in the transfer or any interest in playing an attacking style of football that might have brought more out of the ex Arsenal man.

Smithy and Scott arrived and put him on a strict fitness regime that eventually got him playing to somewhere close to his Celtic days but I just think the high life in London dulled his appetite, ambition and goalscoring prowess. 

Probably would play the no. 10 role nowadays.

No question of his ability but top 5 AFC striker? Nah 

[Fridge]

Has there ever been a reason why he never used to warm up?

Never sure in those days if he was playing or not.

Mike Newell 

[Dynamo]

Fair enough... But for a generation not around in the 80s he may be, if Vernon made it...

Rooney

Cosgrove

McGinn (first season when played as a striker)

Aye, the younger ones on here have some slim pickings if the likes of Dodds & Vernon are anywhere near a top 5.

He just never used to come out and warm up. Fuck knows why. Always intrigued me.
 

Also used to wear shin guards round the back as that was where he got hacked to fuck.

Honestly, this is what I mean

Banal, regurgitated tripe

You need to hurriedly reevaluate what needs posted

Ha ha just got this!

[Fridge]

Are you off the meds again min? How the fuck would me staying in AB10 and Hanz (Whom I have never met) staying in Glasgow be the same person.

Anyway seems you don’t remember Shearer, who is your top five?
