Best Slough Player Ever...

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Having a convo with a mate and arguing about who was best slough player ever, lets have your opinions... I only date back to '91 but i would have to say my top 5 would be 1) Mark Foran 2) Ian Hazel 3) Mark Fiore 4) Ian Hodges 5)Veli Hakki

 

What do you reckon? (why do i think Ryan Spencer's name may appear in this list......)

 

And the worst:----?

[Martin]

First game was in '88 so I would say that some of the chief contenders would be (in no particular order):

 

1) Steve Thompson

2) Mark "Billy" Fiore

3) Gary McGinnis

4) Mark West

5) Lloyd Owusu

6) Veli Hakki

7) Ian Hodges

 

As for the worst player a straight fight between three hugely underachieving strikers:

 

David Adekola, Paul Coombs and Dodgy Deji Davies.

[Rebel Rebel]

Eggy James - a Rebel legend...

[budman13]

Since 84 the best I remember are in no particular order

 

Keith White, Steve Thompson, Mark Fiore, Mark West, Velli Hakki

 

and the worst

 

Sean Lahiff, Deji Davies, Steve Browne

I'm still getting over the shock of Marcus being an English teacher - I run a theatre these days!

With regards players it's gotta be Steve Thompson. I always liked Paul McKinnon as well, Darren Anderson, Trevor Bunting and Georgie Friel. For sheer comedy value you have to have Tony Dell! Am I right in remembering Sean Lahiff almost scoring from a goal kick?

[Nathan]

Has to be Tony Boot for me. Great goalscoring talent and the anility to go right to the top level someday.

[St Leonard]

Brian Lee and Terry Angus

Forgot Ryan Spencer... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[charlie]

why has no one mentioned glen harris who has been indescribably essential this season?

[Tuffley Rebel]

Earliest memories start in the Neal Stanley/Tommy Langley days.

My top five in no particular order would be

Steve Thompson

Cliff Hercules

Steve Daly

Mark Fiore

Mark West.

 

Best Manager would be McDermott.

[Barry Scott]

Cliff Hercules, Terry Angus, hell just lump that 97/98 team all in together

[BFR]

No surprises then that Les Briley is not mentioned!

What a great turn of phrase that is <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />! Doubt we can fit it into a song though.

Anyone who was stood near me at Chelmsford will know I am a big fan of Glen and I wholeheartedly agreed with Eddie's decision to give him the young player of the year award last season. His work rate and goal contribution is excellent and I think he has great potential to go on and become a Slough legend and I think succeed at a higher level.

Couple more good seasons with Slough and he would make my list.

As for Les Briely - how could I fail to mention to him - in the worst ever list. He ran Steve Browne close.

[Rebel Brewer]

I go back to the Amateur Cup semis against Dagenham. So

 

Terry Reardon (as a player)

Geoff Anthony

Dave Russell

Steve Thompson

Eric Young

Trevor Bunting

Mick Keily

Mark West

 

for starters

........................amazed no one has mentioned Andy Sayer, surely second only to the great Steve Thompson.

I used to work with Stuart Hemsley, if that's of any interest to anyone.

[Radders]

Been watching (properly ie. not sitting there eating and reading magazines while my grandad and uncle were watching) since about 1994. My favourites include Brian Lee, Andy Sayer, Mark Fiore, Cliff Hercules, Terry Angus, Danny Bolt, Gary Abbott, Mark West, Steve Daly, Ian Hodges and some bloke called Spencer. Difficult to judge as I remember some better than others due to how recent they are but I can't think of many defenders I've ever seen at Conference level better than Terry Angus, he was a rock!

[Guest]

 

Best - Brian Lucas

Worst - tie between Dodgy Davies and Graham Roberts

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Yes we were there, myself and Charlie (commonly referred to as missus, were standing with you on the "Glen Should not have been subbed side of the pillar")

Yeah Steve Thompson should ahv got a mention if only for the kung fu red card flying kick! And andy sayer was class.

[Radders]

Despite starting on the other side of the pillar, in my defence I would like to point out that by the final whistle I had left the stand completely to indicate 'this match isn't very good'. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
