BBC in talking sense shocker!!!

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Can't argue with that. Did they get that off the Millennium player vote?
Or was it the Football Focus Heroes series they did?

Oh & BBC Online, we are Southend UNITED, not just Southend!

 

[ldnfatso]

i don't think so!

I see Duguid is the best of the scum! lol

 

[Mick]

Just shows what an abject history Colchester must have had. Duguid best player ever? Surely not.

to be fair he is a class player for them. complete pr*ck though!

 

[Firestorm]

hmmm, Nothing about this on the PFA website.....

My guess it was a while ago and conducted by a poll on This is football .com

Or possibly just nicked the Player of the Millenium result in our case

surprised that michael owen ain't there. maybe once he has hit 50.

as for shilton and banks do goalkeepers count?! they aren't real footballers!

Maradona down at number 6, utter rubbish! Below the likes of Ronaldo, Romario and Luis Figo. He is the best for me - and Cruuyf at 21. :confused:

 

[David Essex]

Good to see Arthur Rowley on the list for Shrewsbury

 

[RobM]

I thought Col Ewe's best ever player was (apologies if I spelt it wrong!)

Lamora Tresor Lua-Lua!

What happened to him? Is he still at Pompey?

Agreed. Luis Figo at no. 4? You're having a giraffe! Now obviously I'm not saying that he's not class, but 4th all time - come on! What about Henry for example? Actually, there's loads of names to give, but there's no point.

Coming back to "Southend" (actually, if you look, they've abreviated all the names except to avoid confusion - eg. Tottenham) do we all agree Steve Tilson, as a player...? Maybe for consistency and length of service but surprised nobody has mentioned Sir Stanley yet. No other contenders?

(Apart from Matt Harrold, obviously)

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Not sure our Millennium Player poll was a fair reflection of the best players to pull on a Southend shirt in the 20th century, although I was pleased Tilly won. Wasn't Mel Capleton voted in the top three players of all time?! And Lee Hodges in the top ten?!

 

[Ricey]

Man Utd Duncan Edwards ???

What about Best, Cantona, Hughes, Charlton the list goes on.

because the general concensus is that if he hadn't died in munich he would have been without a doubt one of the all time best players, he already was amazing when he died aged 21

Agreed, but how many people who voted actually saw him play?
