Lessingham Canary 99 Posted May 24, 2022 I'm too young to remember him playing, Bill Punton was a flying winger back in the day i'm told, and still well regarded in these parts, is he a contender? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted May 24, 2022 McLean not on the list then? Toss up between Fleck and Gunn, but I think I would just give Flecky the nod. Jimmy Bone and Ted MacDougall were pretty good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRock 171 Posted May 24, 2022 Another glaring omission from your poll..... Steven Naismith 😉 😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 318 Posted May 24, 2022 Fleck, Foggo and Bone ought to be on the list for sure. I go for Fleck because of the number of goals he scored and for that little cameo late in his Canary career when they were leading 1-0 at Maine Road and when he was substituted he proceeded to do some much needed gardening to the Maine Road turf much to the annoyance of the natives. Great showman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taiwan Canary 144 Posted May 24, 2022 Robert Fleck. Socks round the ankles, a thunderbarstard of a shot on him. Legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 301 Posted May 24, 2022 Rob Fleck but also loved watching Rob Snodgrass just for the shear effort in his play 🏴🏴 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, Hoddle's first appearance for Spurs was as a sub at Carrow Road and the first thing he did was break Duncan's nose by mistake. While they were sorting out the blood, Alan Gilzean told Hoddle that it would be best if he stayed in his own half for the rest of the match 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,234 Posted May 24, 2022 Surprised Russell Martin didn’t make the short list. In my ‘era’ I’d go for Fleck. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,342 Posted May 24, 2022 Gunny for me. The beating heart of our best ever team. Agree that Fleck is an unfortunate omission from the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 24, 2022 Tommy Bryceland for me. He could have played for bigger clubs than us ability wise. I loved Kenny Foggo but Tommy was a classy midfield player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went Rangers because of Fleck and others I knew, but I much preferred the image of Celtic badge and kits. In truth I really didn't give a ****, but for a few it seemed to matter enough to draw blood over - and if you were in the middle it was just as bad. My Mothers side are Scottish from Glasgow and all Rangers fans so grew up with it i have been to ibrox and it is something special the large red brick stand i have been and seen Drinkell ,Chris woods and Dale Gordon Gary Stevens / Trevor Steven Mark Hateley / Ally McCoist ,Mo Johnston , Souness ,seen some wonderful players there over the years Edited May 24, 2022 by norfolkngood 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardiffCanary 128 Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I remember reading this about Gunny in the book 12 canary greats. What he went through when he lost Francesca, and the bond he had with the fans transcends football… the man is a canary legend Edited May 24, 2022 by CardiffCanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,137 Posted May 24, 2022 I know there’s a lot of people who haven’t appreciated him since he arrived, but I’m struggling to understand why no-one’s mentioned Grant Hanley. He might not be one of the greatest Scots we’ve had, but he’s probably one of the only two Premier League quality players we have right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did love Fleck but my visceral hatred of Glasgow Rangers means I could never pick him. The management thing doesn't bother me at all; he was asked to do a job and accepted, it's not really his fault that he was no good at it. He was one of my favourite players growing up, legend. Pretty much exactly my thoughts, more eloquently put than I would manage. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
