In My Time Watching I Agree But...........

the reason my dad has him at number two behind Glavin, is that Glavin was a class player in a worse team.

 

maldini should be far higher

 

25th best player ever Kenny Dalgleish-I think not nt

 

Surely Ronaldo Isnt 2nd best ever nt

 

Glavin No 1

no question

 

and Stanley Mathews for the other nt

 

no george best? nt

 

RE: In My Time Watching I Agree But...........

And Redders was a class player for us at the top level.

 

RE: no george best? nt

Maybe the top 25 are based on performances on the international scene.

 

Luke Beckett ????

Can't believe Stockport fans would rate him "Higher" than Kevin Francis.

 

Nice to see t'old arjan made no.1 for wigan

 

RE: Glavin No 1,,,,Im wi Uncle Mort nt

 

Nice to see Arjan appreciated by wigan too

 

agree, i would have given my right arm to have got him back at start of this season

 

Matthews, Shearer and Bowles appear twice. Do any appear thrre times? nt

 

Obviously, the only ones qualified to compare Redfearn to Glavin are those who saw them both. Which narrows it down a bit. Redfearn was a fine player and so was Hignett. But Ronnie Glavin was incomparable, and would have walked into any Barnsley team past or present.
