Who Are The Best Mfc Players

I think that one or two people may be doing Jennings a disservice. I think he will be one of those players that we willlook back upon and realise just how good he was when he is gone. A bit like Paul Lambert. I am not saying that Jennings is as good as Lambert was but Steve Jennings performs his role as a holding midfield player very well.

 

We have not had a poor season since Jennings arrived at the club. There will be other factors but his presence is a contributing factor.

My first hero was Dixie Deans so he'll be in my team right away, my Dad would be turning in his grave if I didn't include Charlie Aitken and Pat Quinn.

 

So my favourite 20 are as follows;

 

Charlie Aitken

Pat Quinn

Dixie Deans

Tom Donnelly

Keith MacRae

Joe Wark

Willie Pettigrew

Bobby Graham

Vic Davidson

Ally Mauchlen

John Gahagan

Stevie Kirk

Dougie Arnott

Tommy Coyne

Rab McKinnon

Davie Cooper

Phil O'Donnell

Paul Lambert

James McFadden

Keith Lasley

 

The best would be a lot different and harder to pick.

You'd place the likes of Porter & Krivokapic ahead of Cooper?

Different positions. If you look closely , both lists are a 442. Could only pick one left winger and for me it had to be McFadden. Close call though..

Ah, right, I didn't know you had actually put together a team. I thought it was just a list :blush:

Echo most of the above, some additions for me:-

 

Ray Farningham - my first time at Ipox and he scored the winner.

 

Eliphas Shivute - a great player with awesome potential ruined by big Eck.

 

Paul Smith - memories of a game at Cappielow when he scored 2 in the first ten mins.

 

Paul Kinnaird - for the banter ... but when he was good he was awesome, and when he poor it was as if his feet were put on the wrong way around.

 

Don Goodman - for the way he answered back the boo boys with good honest hard work.

 

Chris McCart - should be on a list despite being a wee shite that keeps stealing our youngsters for Septic.

 

 

My old man insists that Ian St John is by far the best ever to pull on the C&A.

I remember some guy behind me in the East Stand coming out with

"I hate that f***er Coyne - all he does is score goals."
