    I highly doubt it, never say never but Ronnie was just over a goal every other game which is phenomenonal wouldn't like to guess at the assists, for a midfielder the bloke was just pure class and mesmerising, it was like somebody had but a big lump of glue on the end of his boot.
    I like DKD he's a good player, but Glavin was performing week in week out at a higher level, greatest player in the clubs history ever.

    We have some very good midfielders for League One, but Nwakali is surely the Rolls Royce player, or "different gravy", as some would say.

    I agree totally. He simply looks a different class from the rest of the team, and that is no slight on the others.

    I think you have slightly overstated Ronnie's scoring record, but I entirely share your sentiment.

    I was only a kid then, but even then I thought that a lot of what Ronnie Glavin did, was also down to Ian Banks alongside him.
    What a midfield duo they were. :)

    179 games and 73 goals is a goal every 2.43 games which is exactly as I quoted a goal just over everyother game

    They were a midfield trio mate, you forget Ray McHale, he did the spadework for the other 2.

    Yeah he did, but didnt he wear the number 10 ?.
    Certainly not what we'd associate with a so called number 10 player these days.

    I think a misunderstanding has arisen because of the position of "just over" in your original post, which read "just over a goal every other game", which would mean slightly better than 1 in 2, rather than almost 1 in 2, which, it seems, you meant to say. Sorry if I am being a little pedantic! I think we can both agree that Glavin was a great player, who scored a lot of goals for a midfielder. As I have remarked before, he is my all-time favourite Reds player.

    As someone who did see the king play in a red shirt never in a million years. Ronnie could pick the ball up on the edge of our six yard box and Oakwell would come alive with expectation never mind him getting the ball in the oppositions Penalty area and as good as Higgy and Hamill were they weren't in King Ronnies bracket but were streets ahead of DKD.
