ROKERITE Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 18 hours ago, Forever Hearts said: Brian Clough scored 251 in 274 games before his playing career was ended by injury. But only one in the top flight. He was still some player though and there's a double regret for Sunderland supporters, that his career with us was cut so short and that he never managed us.

Dalglish definitely helped but Rush still scored for fun after Dalglish retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Hunter, Tommy Smith, Billy Bremner would have crippled them! Have you seen ronaldo? He'd ko any 70s clogger before they realised who they were trying to tackle.

Some were just there to injure or take out the opposition Star players. I think they would have, I think animals is a bit strong. They played the game physically, but were very good defenders even without the physical side. It's interesting, though back in these days there seemed to be a lot less injuries, even with fewer subs.

Not as quick and mudpatch tottie fields probably helped. Most injuries were broken legs from folk like Chopper Harris. Tommy Smith was some player, I'll give that.

I thought I'd try to find out how many legs Ron Harris Broke, came across this article: Ron Harris tole to break George Best's leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just now, Forever Hearts said: No. There's been better. Thread remains open. I'd agree. Batistuta was great but probably not even top 20 all time and not even top 5 in my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy Jambo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Batistuta played in a golden era of absolute quality defenders and for Fiorentina ffs. Even in his older days, he came across to england and smashed one of the best Man Utd teams going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
