Top 100 Footballers in PL history

[Rammy]

I've missed this thread and couldn't find it earlier as I haven't been very active, but what a list! Full of banter and piss take. Who the fuck put Dwight Gayle on their list!?!?

Got to be The Hand of Dom!

Guilty.

To be fair, I did state before this started I mainly put players I enjoy(ed) watching. Gayle is one. His finishing technique is wonderful.

I can't say anything, my list contained 11 ex-Derby players.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

I can't say anything, my list contained 11 ex-Derby players.

The majority of my list was creditable.

My number 1 is probably someone only I voted for, but I sincerely hope my number 2 was voted for by more.

 

[Alty]

David Hirst. Absolute hammer of a shot.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Mark Heeley?

 

[The Hand of Dom]

Mark Heeley?

Haha, no!

Should have done though.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Haha, no!

Should have done though.

Would have been the ultimate piss take!

I should have done this. I received a PM from Cardsfan reminding me to do this once but I was at the airport

Rubbish excuse!

 

[mistermagic]

Looks like I'm way ahead of you Cardsfan!

I have done 20 minutes profiles for every single player though

Rookie mistake.

 

[Cardsfan]

Rookie mistake.

I asked you how to do it beforehand, and you didnt warn me

 

[This Charming Mike]

Could you not just copy their descriptions from Wikipedia? Would save a lot of time I'd imagine and still give people a bit of background on the player.

Whatever happens in the rest of this thread, I think that "Cards' 20-Minute Write-Ups" has the hallmark of a future forum feature. It could, in particular, revolutionise the politics section.

Like I said, you need to do things your own way. I know I'm not running the current books thing like I did back in 2012.

Tbh, I don't think we need descriptions of the players. I mean we are sad enough people to know every single Premiership player since 92 aren't we?
What just me?

It might just be you. For example, I have no idea who David Hirst is, or who half of Rammy's entries have been.

Yeah well my way is wrong

I don't know who David Hirst is either and quite frankly I don't think we need to know who he is. A quick Wikipedia search could tell us who he achieved in a past life (I'm sure most of us won't bother).

I know every single Derby player Rammy voted for.

 

[Bobbin']

How do people not know who David Hirst is?

 

[Veggie Legs]

Age, I guess. For me, he's one of the first players I remember really liking. As someone else said, absolute hammer of a shot.

 

[IanH]

How Sheffield Wednesday fans feel about David Hirst.

 

[Son of Cod]

Guilty.

Big fan of Gayle myself, too. Seems we're well in tune when it comes to players we like.

Haha, I'm glad there's someone else who can spot a good player

 

[Son of Cod]

Pretty sure I wrote a bit of a rebuke to Alty, but maybe it went missing when we moved servers? Was essentially saying that he's not worthy of being on the list on account of lack of Premier League experience, but that he's clearly a talent.

 

[last request]

So Cardsfan stops the detailed write ups after Rammy's twenty Derby players have appeared?

 

[Cardsfan]

Just to say, David Hirst isn't actually 65th, I was joking.
