Favourite footballer of all time......

[Pagey]

With the differing ages on the forum it will be interesting to see who you all choose.

 

For me, its a player who stuck with his club, never moved when he could had, stayed because he loved his club, nothing to do with the money just the passion. i believe that although his playing days are over he is still at the club doing other things

 

Steve Bull

[blackballed]

Bobby Moore..............does it for me

[Frankie100]

For a player to stick with his club like Pagey says I could suggest Johnny Haynes but I think I would go for Simon Morgan who stuck with Fulham during our troubled years and lead by example

For me its Ryan Giggs, another player to stay loyal to his club, just a shame he has never been able to grace a Major Championship for Wales.

Are we talking about Margate players or any guy that has played football in the world, as obviously PELE cant be beaten on the world stage. If however, we are on about MFC players I thought the likes of Elliot Martin and terry Mcflynn need mentioning

[the saint]

Le Tiss , Le Tiss , Matt Le Matt Le Tiss he gets the ball takes the p#ss Matt Le Matt Le Tiss !!!!!!

[Drummer]

On much the same basis as Pagey, and same club, for me it has got to be Billy Wright. Run a close second by another Wolves great, Bert Williams.

[BlueGate Alan]

For a Margate player I would say Sam Sodje, a great character!

[Hornet]

Only one Tommy Mooney, walking along, singing a song, walking in a Mooney wonderland.

[Cookie]

Ian Storey-Moore. Great player

[WelshBob]

Ian Rush or our very own Neville Southall.

[BlueGate Alan]

Creep Bob, but they were true Welsh legends I must admit!

[MargateFan]

Rocky

Sir Stanley Mathews for me, closely followed by Gordon Banks. Non league, Arthur Sherratt. Arthur was a true legend in my area, he Played for Warslow Celtic( my home village team) and had 3 England( when in the services) representative games against USA, Germany and Italy. Arthur's dad wouldn't let him go when Mr H Chapman knocked on his door. Told him to clear off as Arthur had to help feed his brothers and sisters not kick a football around a field, he could do that at home in is spare time(if he had any). Arthur spent his working life (before taking over the family small holding after his fathers death) walking 8 miles to work in Hartshead quarry. His 5 1/2 day week was spent breaking stone with a sledge hammer before shoveling it into waiting railway trucks before walking the 8 miles back home. Saturday afternoons were spent playing football. How many modern day footballers would/ could do that?.

[Fanet Blu]

David Howells or Paul Stewart.. 1991, glorious!

[AncientBlue]

Ian Rush

Bob Harrop for Margate

[StuyRandall]

Alan Shearer, what a legend...

[I am Spartacus]

Bit difficult really

 

Denis (The King) Law for Scotland

 

Andoni Goikoetxea for tackling skill

 

Rivellino as the best player I have ever seen.
