When you read other poster's lists you suddenly realise that you missed out somebody who you would have included. Tha General listed Trevor Hockey and he should nave been in my list. Almost universal first vote for TF is well deserved.

Maybe 6 wasn't enough Spion we could have gone with ten?

Larsson is another who hasn't been mentioned - great right foot free kicks plus two beauties from the field, at Spurs and when he ran through the entire Sheffield side at St Andrews. His personality shone through when he played too.

If Bolt had allowed us 10 I would have included Gordon Taylor; I used to love watching him play when we lived in Blighty. I also liked George Smith a lot too; later on I liked Jim Hagan for the same reasons.

What the lists have in common is that although we loved & love the dashing goalscorers what the others we admire have in common is the grit we expect from our Blues.

[bassman]

pretty simple choice for me

1 Trevor Francis
2 Bob Hatton ( he made many of francis and latchfords goals physically and by making space for them)
3 Bob Latchford
4 kenny Burns
5 Frank Worthington (difficult choice but he was a true entertainer and did everything that Dugarry did)
6 mikael Forrsell ( one sublime season of the deadliest finishing )

kenny cunningham, kevin dillon, colin todd, mark dennis,martin grainger,david langan and many more worthy of selection into a top ten

[bolt]

dead right Spion, Bassy


WAKEY WAKEY Bolt


Fabulous Frank

wonderful to watch

10 would be fairer - but I was just thinking about Keith Bertschin. He wouldn't be in my top ten, let alone my top 6. But he did score about the best goal I've ever seen anyone score for Blues. Away at Arsenal, 1-0 down, and the Blues goalie sends the goal kick to centre circle, where Trevor Francis hits it with one touch over his shoulder straight into Bertschin's path. 30 yards out, and he blasts it past the Arsenal goalkeeper. Magic. Trevor took one look over his shoulder as the ball was coming to him, and that's all it took. About seven seconds from the Blues penalty box to the Arsenal net.

Of course, that's when we had Alf Ramsay as our manager . . .
