Gazza, Beardsley, Bryan Robson, Bobby Charlton.

All from the North East!! I might be a bit biased! but I don't think that is far wrong.

 

Mind you I think we will all be saying Rooney in 10 years time.

looking back on my earlier post, we really should also consider jimmy greaves. 44 goals in 57 caps is a fantastic strike rate. unlike lineker (but like shearer) could make goals on his own, and like gazza, liked the booze a bit too much.

Apart from the fact that he's shite for England.

 

Gascoigne for me, followed by Shearer and then Stuart Ripley.

 

:huh:

Gazza. I thought he was as brilliant in 96 as he was in 90 as well. Should and could have been the best player in the world. Tit.

 

Its really is a waste, when you remember what he was like before all the injuries and problems, he would have been the best in the world, don't know for how long but he would have been.

Throw in a couple of quotes from Commando or Dean Learner impressions from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and you have the set!

Here's one for you my good man.

 

The scene is set...

 

5 lads all wander on a plane going to Dublin, all sit down. Then all of a sudden simultaneously all shout out the quote.

 

"I'M AIRSICK!"

 

Although none of us managed to jump off the wheel of the plane mind. :huh:

I imagine the small % of people on the plain who would get the reference were loving it!

Beardsley by a country mile.

 

Gazza was probably the player with the greatest flair and as a result created a media circus around him which, ultimately and sadly, has turned him into the person he is today.

 

Beardsley was like the engine that Bobby Robson built his team around between 1986 and 1990. Lineker scored all those goals, many of which were laid on by Pedro and Lineker has always said that Beardsley was the best strike partner he ever had. No coincidence to me that we went pear-shaped between 1990 and 1993 when 'Turnip' wouldn't play him...

 

Gazza to me was at his best in the 87/88 season (his last one for us) when the rest of the country began to appreciate his talent. He went off the boil in his opening two seasons for Spurs and then obviously hit the world stage by storm in Italy!
